No. It will not hamper fish stalk. Because sea is vast and collection is unlimited. For oil and fish meal Sardine is best exploited one. Rich marine source will replace due to it's recycle of life cycle.

You need proper management.

Over exploitation must be avoided in marine zone. This Covid- 19 period improves fishery due to lock down since March 2020 to May 2020 in India.

Yes, it will if not done sustainably. Aquaculture has been criticised for its deleterious impact on marine ecosystems because of diverting human consumption of nutritious forage fish for fish meal and oil especially in developing nations. To reduce fish oil and meal inclusion in aquaculture fish formulation, many researchers have tested several ingredients from other animal and plant sources and adopted them as alternatives to fish meal and oil in aquafeeds.

Yes it will. In fact, there is a need to use other protein alternatives from both plant and animal sources. The missing amino acids in these sources can be incorporated into the formulated feed.

Currently Most feed manufactures do not depend on fish meal and fish oil solely for fish production , So i think with time so little will be gotten form capture fisheries and that will have little or no impact compared to other animal feed production sectors.

Fish meal comes from small-sized low-value fish species which should be converted to high-quality fish. Depletion of this stock is unlikely to happen.

Good luck

Thanks My Friend Amin Marandi for nice information

Along with the positive aspects of aquaculture come some negative ones. Fish farms can impact wild fish populations by transferring disease and parasites to migrating fish. Aquaculture can also pollute water systems with excess nutrients and fecal matter due to the large numbers and concentrations of farmed fish. https://www.kqed.org/education/435770/do-the-benefits-of-aquaculture-outweigh-its-negative-impacts

Fish farming; the rearing of aquatic species in tanks, ponds, or ocean net-pens. How can aquaculture actually increase the fishing pressure on wild stocks? If high-trophic level fish are raised in aquaculture, fishing might increase to catch the prey fish these pond or pen raised fish need to eat. https://quizlet.com/206641946/chapter-31-biology-flash-cards/

Wild fish can't easily threatened. Because of enormous amount. Only a few rare species which lives in limited environment!

thanks Abdullah Sikar Al-Issawi for comment

Yes, infact in lake Victoria in Kenya has had to ban fishing there.

I am not sure how to respond but, Aqua culture is spreading disease through native stocks due to lice fleas and disease. Rinsing the fish is NOT the answer!

The native wild fish are in a down spiral health and numbers wise. You cannot have an ocean in the shape ours are in and factory ships putting nothing back in the ocean and not expect dwindling numbers in ocean stocks. Native fish are dying from plastic ingestion and starvation from over fishing, and sea bed destruction. Something needs to change. GREED is a good start!

I am no expert, only a humble journalist and climate crisis warrior

thanks Harriet Heffernan very much for nice and good information

Ahmad Al Khraisat et al I am of the idea that despite the expansion in aquaculture and the high demand for fish meal, there are lots of unexploited sources of fish meal. A good example being the utilization of Crustacean Peracaridans (amphipods, isopods...). They rapidly reproduce and have all the essential minerals and proteins fish may require. Therefore wild fish stocks are not in any threat.

thanks Joshua Sese for information

Definitely yes, especially for popular targetted species. More also in the face of climate change, there will be some negative effects on common wild stocks since they will also be affected either directly or indirectly through the effects of climate change which is predicted to affect the entire aquatic biodiversity. This actually calls for exploring alternative species for fish meal as well as protein sources in general.
