The most common fish species raised by fish farms are salmon, carp, tilapia, European
seabass, catfish and cod.

It have many advantages and also have disadvantages. The advantages are produces high
yields despite small volume of water. Contains essential nutrients, with a high protein value and
low to moderate fat in comparison to terrestrial animals. The disadvantages are Overpopulated,
Fishing costs (most of modern fishing utilizes technology such as weights, nets (e.g. purse seine),
seine nets (e.g. beach seine), trawls (e.g. bottom trawl), dredges, hooks and line (e.g. long line
and handline), lift nets, gillnets, entangling nets and traps . Aquatic contamination and pollution
(e.g. Oil spills,human material thrown in water often harms fish) . High density to volume ratio,
fish often clustered together thus causing high stress level which increases susceptibility to
disease and transfers disease at an accelerated. Mercury (Fish and shell-fish are able to
concentrate mercury in their bodies, due to this being a toxin it can show negative effects if it is
consumed.)
