Fresh hope for marine finfish?

Meanwhile,?Emily de Sousa explores how the US could learn a lesson from Central America’s offshore aquaculture pioneers. Whether such companies can help to convince investors, regulators and consumers that the future of seafood lies in farmed marine finfish remains to be seen, but it’s heartening to note that they are persisting in the face of testing environmental and political conditions.
