Professor Martin Schreibman says our oceans have been overfished beyond repair. If we’re going to keep eating fish and chips, tuna tartare, and all those omega-3 fatty acids, we may have to rely on aquaculture. Schreibman is working to bring those fish farms into the city. Urban aquaculture? We’ll bite.

    Hi, I am Yordan Vivanco, from Ecuador, South America, and I am very interested in the aquaponics sistems. Actually, I am thinking to do it in La Peninsula de Santa Elena, in a dessertic part. I know that it is a very good idea to do it in dessertics parts.If you can contact with me, please do it to yordanvivanco@yahoo.comThanks, and I liked very much the video.

    Dear Professor Martin Schreibman,
    I live in Peninsular of Malaysia and i am very intereted about this new urban aquaculture. It is a better way to do fish farming. But can you tell me more detail, so i can adopt the sistem in my country.
    When i saw your video.. it seem easy.. but i think technically it is more complecated than what i see.
    So can you tell me more about this sistem and how to operate it.

    If you have a pdf file about your researsh … please do help me..
    Thank you…

Behind a new movement to protect the fish are some surprising collaborators: Hollywood celebrities and world-renowned chefs. But do they really have the power to suppress the market and save the bluefin?
