There is something mysterious, and yet compelling about seas and oceans, symbolising as they do unendingness and freedom. And last, but not least, water is regarded as the source of all life. What is all too easily forgotten, however, is that even the unending oceans only have limited resources.

Overfishing, the endangering and extermination of many fish species, and the pollution of rivers and seas with hazardous substances pose a threat to the oceans. The scarcer fish are becoming in the world’s oceans, the more important and significant they are to curb the hunger of the growing global population. Fish as a vital source of protein is threatening to become a luxury product that can only be afforded by the rich industrial nations.

A way out of this dilemma is aquaculture: The breeding of fish for commercial purposes in enclosed buildings.
