Paul Greenberg’s book poses the question: Given mankind’s depletion of wild fish stocks to dangerous levels, how are we to develop fish farming systems that will make up for the reduced wild fish harvest without further damaging ocean eco systems — and, in fact, allow them to recover so that they survive as an exploitable source for artisan fishermen and as part of our global heritage?

It suggests solutions and holds out hope, mixing palatable science with ‘national geographic’ narrative. It is neither over-specialised nor depressing.
