Farming the Sea |
Those who fish commercially are trappers at heart, so they say. This program shows that despite that reputation, the fishing industry has made serious efforts to farm fish-- to breed them in captivity and either harvest them under controlled conditions, or release them into the sea for the purpose of replenishing natural stocks. |
