Why I support the pescatarian diet and sustainable aquaculture

I’m starting my Hive journey with a few personal posts to connect with a like-minded community. In a previous post, I mentioned I was a pescatarian and opposed to traditional farming. I am against trawling nets and the exploitation of wild fish. Wild fish are food to naval animals and a part of the important and sensitive ecosystem. Sustainable fish farming (aquaculture) is the key to over-exploitation. A responsible market would dictate the quality limiting the sea and freshwater pollution. Human civilization is running low on healthy food and high on pollution. We could be the last generation to enjoy the unpolluted water and unmodified food. The fish fed by plant-based nutritious pallets and supplements thrive because of their unique biology. Farmed land animals fall unhealthy and pass the detrimental conditions to the consumers. But some fish species are suitable for this. Uncontrolled fish-farming may add to the natural catastrophe. Therefore, it is an absolute necessity to organize the controlled and competent fish farms. Unlike Asia, the west fails at aquaculture and relies on traditional farming. For example, China dominates this market, but unjustified. Chemicals used to treat the fish farms in China polluted the water supply together with the sewage, industry, and agricultural waste. The investigation found an elevated quantity of mercury and toxic chemicals. A healthy mixture of veganism and sustainable aquaculture might improve life if regulated. Many follow the pescatarian diet for health benefits, but fish with a greater amount of mercury is detrimental to health. Pescatarian diet may be an acceptable ethical choice, but this is questionable. A clean pescatarian diet excludes land animal products such as eggs and dairy. The consumption of those promotes the traditional farming of land animals. Some pescatarian and vegetarians include them in their diet. OK, enough of me. Let’s discuss your dietary preferences.
