Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Herbivorous species in the open-ocean are considered the most sustainable option for worldwide aquaculture expansion because they require less feed from wild fish stocks, reducing the pressure on these stocks and minimizing the environmental impact compared to carnivorous species, which require higher trophic level feed. Additionally, open-ocean environments can disperse wastes more effectively than confined areas, reducing local pollution.
