It exists simply to create a massive amount of fish more quickly, cheaply and efficiently.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”22px”][vc_column_text]Cramming thousands of fish into tiny pens creates disease and pollution. Under the pens you\u2019ll find fish waste and uneaten commercial feed, all of which degrades the water.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”22px”][vc_column_text]Chemicals are needed to keep us from getting sick and to keep things clean,medicines like antibiotics and vaccines as well as disinfectants, and substances used to stop cages rusting. It all ends up in us, in the water, and eventually in you.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”22px”][vc_column_text]To combat sea lice, a pesticide once commonly used was emamectin benzoate, which when given to rats and dogs caused tremors, spinal deterioration and muscle atrophy.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”22px”][vc_column_text]Eating wild fish is not the answer either, apart from reducing fish stocks to the edge of extinction by overfishing, you\u2019ve made wild fish also dangerous to eat.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”22px”][vc_column_text]That\u2019s because of PCBs?

Approximately eight million metric tons of plastics enter the oceans annually and a lot of that ends up in the seafood you eat.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”22px”][vc_column_text]And mercury. Mercury is in the air from coal-burning power plants and factories and it settles into lakes, rivers, and oceans where it starts working its way up the seafood chain to you.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”22px”][vc_column_text]You can\u2019t see, smell, or taste it either: it just ends up in you, poisoning the kidneys and nervous system.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”22px”][vc_separator type=”normal” color=”#afca0b”][vc_empty_space height=”22px”][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n
