#3 This points to a future of industrial fish farms.

Probably ships that look like long barges, that go out to where there is an off-coastal current, then anchor, descend nets and raise fish in them. The current takes care of aeration and waste elimination, and the fish gain slightly *more* weight than the feed given them, with natural food again provided by the current.

When the fish are mature, they just reel the nets up, and transport the live fish within the barge to the processing plant. They can do the same if a major storm threatens them.

It is cheaper than using on-land fish farming, and the biggest problem is not technical, it is piracy. A fleet of such ships could work year 'round and provide enough fish for a country.

#4 The Euros already do this with bluefin tuna, and Greenpeace is all over them, for some reason.

#5 My sister stayed for a few days with a strictly vegetarian Jain family in Gujarat a few years ago. The family had a cooking staff who worked full-time buying food and preparing a properly balanced diet for the household. After sis learned what it took to live healthily on a vegetarian diet, she went back to eating meat.
