If you like eaing it, farm it, rather than hunt it to extinction. As a species, we should be beyond hunting things into extinction if not by now then very soon.

More power to him. I think governments should provide funding for more of these kinds of projects. I'm surprised there aren't more sea farms off the coast of Japan. There's definitely a market!

Salmon farming in Norway and Scotland is an environmental disaster.

Lets see if this Hawaiian great idea turns out any different.

They should be required to release a percentage of the farmed tuna to help replenish depleted stocks.

sharky:

" They should be required to release a percentage of the farmed tuna "

Escape of the genetically modified, custom-bread farm salmon in to the wild is part of the environmental disaster that salmon farming is in Norway and Scotland.

If you want to believe that the Hawaii experiment will be miraculously different, you can do that of course.

Apparantly those farmed salmon get infected with sea lice. So then they are treated with chemicals to get rid of them too.

I wonder if we're going to be having the same FARMED VS WILD Tuna fights just like we do now with the salmon.
