Surely all fish come from the sea and eat whatever fish eat? How can we control it? As far as I know, wild caught fish cannot be sold as organic in the UK. However, several supermarkets and many independent organic retailers now stock organic trout and salmon produced on fish farms. Some species of farmed mussels and molluscs are likely to become more widely available in the future. Many of the pesticides, dyes and antibiotics widely used in conventional fish farming are not allowed in organic fish farming and therefore these fish products are generally accepted as being trustworthy organic products by both the soil association and consumers. However, from an animal welfare perspective, there is some controversy over allowing farmed fish to be labeled as organic. Ecological principles require that livestock (including fish) be able to express their "natural" pattern of behavior and be kept as close to natural stocking density as possible. How can this happen when they are kept in cages inland or in fish farms at sea? The Real Costs of Fish Farming Fish farming appears to be a practical solution to the problem of overfishing. However, fish farming is the cause of many problems. In the UK, salmon is most closely associated with farming – and its shortcomings. Public demand for cheaper feed means that farmed salmon are often kept very densely for financial reasons, with huge numbers of fish crammed into very small spaces. In this condition, fish can get sick more easily and these diseases can spread to wild fish. Huge amounts of antibiotics are needed to keep fish moderately healthy. Also, a confidential study for Britain's top organic body highlighted gaps between its principles and the standards it has adopted, BBC Newsnight reported. Is organic fish sustainable? Other problems are escapes when farmed fish interbreed with wild fish, potentially depleting wild populations as well. such as water and seabed pollution around fish farms. Farmed salmon, which are carnivores, consume three times their body weight in fish feed made from other fish - not the best use of resources from an environmental perspectiveFrom the outset, you need to understand that the best tea blends are derived from leaves that have been harvested by hand.
