This is Scientific American — 60-Second Science. I'm Emily Schwing.
Half of all fish people eat worldwide now come from fish farms. So farms need to do more to keep up with demand.
"If we look to the future, at today's per capita fish intake around the world we would need to double aquaculture production."
Ron Hardy is the University of Idaho's Director of Aquaculture Research. He presented his research at the recent International Symposium on Fish Nutrition and Feeding in Sun Valley, Idaho, which he also chaired.
In the wild, rainbow trout eat insects and other, smaller fish. But Hardy says there aren't enough little fish to feed larger fish in the wild and still meet market demand as the human population increases. So he's used selective breeding to create strains of farmed fish that get by on food that's less expensive than little fish—feed made from soybeans, corn and wheat.

Some of the farmed fish really thrive: 16 years ago, Hardy had to wait a year for a one-pound trout. These days, his efforts yield trout up to four times as large in the same amount of time.
"So, it would be kind of like if you were going to breed dogs. So we've got everything from Rottweilers to little Scotties or whatever."
But the farmed fish are not completely vegetarian.
"Soybeans don't have skeletons, they don't have bones and the bones in fish meal are a major source of minerals for the fish, for example."
And much like humans, fish diets require omega-3 fatty acids, not found in terrestrial plants. So Hardy has to add a little fish-oil back into the plant-based feed. For those of us without waders, this kind of aquaculture is our best shot at a fish fry.

现在全世界人们食用的鱼中,有一半来自养鱼场rDXboL2VTi5。所以,养鱼场要做更多来满足人们的需求zbc|[*=RdcYyv4x%_T]
“如果我们放眼未来,以目前世界人均鱼类摄入量来看,我们需要加倍水产养殖t![f]%TJ0w。”
罗恩·哈迪是爱达荷大学水产养殖研究所所长pvv5N_]M[j(qAHr_nw。他主持了近期在爱达荷州太阳谷举行的世界鱼类营养与饲料学术研讨会,并发表了他的研究成果mCDpRl@.;=WU

但是养殖鱼并不是完全的素食鱼Nb2-as@taq

与人类很像,鱼饲料也需要欧米伽-3脂肪酸,但它并不存在于陆生植物中qArfzN1Pbw5[aa~3。所以哈迪必须要在植物性饲料中加一些鱼油SDMa_]+q@H。对于我们这种没有钓鱼用连靴裤的人来说,这种水产养殖是我们能享用到炸鱼的最佳选择ltmAfSh.-,O&%lnd5c6R
