Interesting company and philosophy about farming fish. The company is run by one of my classmates friend. Check it out.
Island Bounty is applying new aquaculture technologies to achieve industry leadership through water purity measure systems and natural water purification. Through the use of solar and wind power generation, Island Bounty will offer an integrated, renewable energy fueled, sustainable food production.
The future for sustainable food products is to create a zero carbon footprint. By using solar and wind energy, pollutants associated with fossil fuel usage are reduced to negligible levels.
Poorly run fish farms can generate coastal pollution in the form of excess feed and manure, and escaped fish and disease originating on farms can devastate wild fisheries. For example, a fish farm with 200,000 salmon releases nutrients and fecal matter roughly equivalent to the raw sewage generated by 20,000 to 60,000 people. Scotland’s salmon aquaculture industry is estimated to produce the same amount of nitrogen waste as the untreated sewage of 3.2 million people—just over half the country’s population.
