There are certain species that are overfished, yet there are hundreds of thousands of species of fish in the ocean that are untouched.
FORBES: The Future of Our Seafood, A Discussion with Rick Moonen
One of its scientists, Kimberly Warner, told the BBC that mislabelling of fish and seafood mattered not only because of the deception of consumers, but also because threatened fish, in overfished parts of the ocean, could be sold as unthreatened, abundant varieties.
These might divide up and sell lobster pots, numbers of fish, numbers of boats, bits of the ocean or even individual reefs.
In 1998, Townsley signed and submitted applications to OMRI to certify his Biolizer XN as a bona fide organic liquid organic fertilizer composed of ocean-going fish and fish byproducts, feathermeal, and water.

Whether taking photos of friends and family in the pool or a school of fish while snorkeling in the ocean, users will benefit from the AQ100's dedicated Aqua mode, which will optimize camera settings for the best possible underwater photos.

Goudey, the director of the MIT Sea Grant's Offshore Aquaculture Engineering Center, has devised a system by which giant spherical cages of fish would drift underwater in circular ocean currents, or gyres.
At the University of New Hampshire, Professor Hunt Howell and colleagues are experimenting with a "fish farm" in the Atlantic Ocean, off the coast of Portsmouth.
Fabien Cousteau, founder of Plant a Fish, an educational and ocean-restoration project in New York, has used online platforms to process web-based donations for his organization, which doesn't have the staff to open envelopes, deposit checks and organize spreadsheets.
But the harm they do as a destroyer of habitat, by ripping up corals and sponges, and wrecking the nurseries of fish species that grow very slowly, seems out of proportion to any gain from scraping the ocean floor: one zoologist has compared it to cutting down virgin forests, full of rare species, to collect squirrels.
However, because of different methodology, the fish gets a middle-of-the-road "yellow" from the Blue Ocean Institute.
And, finally, it's about recognizing that -- for those who feel like protesting Warren's appearance -- there is an ocean's worth of bigger fish to fry.
As he guided me through the virtual ocean, which currently has 60 species of fish, he was talking about the whole underwater world.
FORBES: theBlu: Avatar Meets Facebook Underwater And A Strange Sensation Surfaces
Some have speculated that overfishing, pollution or rising ocean temperatures may have depleted the kinds of fish that prey on Nomura's jellyfish in the polyp stage.
Just an hour from Khasab are dive sites with schools of blue and yellow Indian Ocean angelfish, Arabian butterfly fish, snappers, lionfish, groupers, stingrays and turtles.
Fish species only represent two to three per cent of all living things in the ocean.
Among the likely winners in the fragmented and mostly small-scale fish producing industry are either suppliers to farmers or companies that can obtain economics of scale in ocean fishing.
Some of the cages in which O'Hanlon's fish will grow will likely come from another Aquacopia-funded company, Ocean Farm Technologies of Morrill, Maine, founded by Stephen Page, a former salmon farmer.
Since there have been no tsunamis of comparable size in the Indian Ocean in living memory, no one knows how badly fish stocks will be affected or how long they will take to recover.
Similarly, fish exports, once produced almost entirely by an ocean-going fleet, are now seeing the growth of salmon farms.
The bycatch, unwanted fish and other ocean life thrown back into the sea, can amount to as much as 90% of a trawl's total catch.
Between now and April 28, watch live as scientists explore the unknown, potentially encountering shipwrecks, coral, fish, gaseous seeps, and fascinating ocean ecosystems, and prepare to witness active scientific exploration and discovery of America's underwater territory.
At the pan-Asian restaurant, the spare and chic Sangkar, chef Andrew Skinner, an old Pacific hand, prepares a flavorful mix of regional cuisines--Indonesian, South Asian and Japanese--often using fish hauled from the ocean just below, along with local produce, meats and spices.
In most of Asia and the world today, food problems are narrow or temporary ones. (Ocean fish are an exception.) If we listen to history, to science and to markets, we will solve them.
Mera has invested money in causes dear to her heart: a marine fish farming group, a company that looks for cancer treatments in products from the ocean, and a maker of a fingerprinting system for newborns.
Instead, Goudey and a handful of other schemers hope to relocate fish farming, or aquaculture, from sensitive and expensive coastal areas to the open ocean.
At first it looks more like a fat white and yellow fish swimming through a green sun-speckled ocean, as if it and the tree and the grass were occupants of a fantastical aquarium.
Some politicians now even argue, conveniently, that the chief culprit in years to come will not be fishing fleets, but climate change: glaciers are melting, which is reducing the ocean's salinity, which in turn is starting to cause a drop in plankton, depriving fish of a key food.
