Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Open ocean aquaculture of fish or mollusks that feed on phytoplankton has the lowest environmental impact because it does not require large inputs of supplemental feed which can lead to pollution and depletion of wild fish stocks. Additionally, phytoplankton are a renewable resource that can help mitigate climate change by absorbing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.
