64 On-land Fish Farm Systems, Comprising more than 8,100 On land Fish Farms Around the World, Updated Sept 15, 2013

Here are another six links to on-land fish farms. That makes 63 on-land, mostly recirculating fish farm systems I have found without really looking. They comprise some 8,100 actual on-land farms around the world.

In-ocean fish farms are old-tech dinosaurs and should be legislated out of the water to save the pristine environments, and wild fish stocks. It is so simple.

Go to this link to visit all the on-land fish farm systems I have found: http://fishfarmnews.blogspot.ca/2012/01/key-document-34-mostly-on-land-closed.html. If you have trouble, just go to the posts for January 2012 and you will find it.


Here are the new sites. Six links, but actually sixteen more on-land fish farms:
