Aquaculture is the farming of aquatic animals, plants, and other organisms through cultivating freshwater and saltwater. The other main alternative is commercial fishing which involves the capture of animals from the wild.

The 8th of October marked the fifth annual 'World Salmon Day'. This holiday was proposed by the food brand 'Chicken of the Sea' in 2015 to highlight the dietary benefits of the popular fish, in the hope that it would lead to "a long-term increase in [the public's] heart and nutritional health.”

The neglect is probably what shook me the most from this experience. I learned that such a thing as fish welfare simply does not exist, and that all regulations are blurry.

People don’t often think of fish when it comes to farm animals. But fish are the most farmed animals on earth. Today, they receive critical support from conservation stakeholders in Asia.

We are not familiar with this environment because we don’t see what we destroy, and this needs to change very quickly so we can reverse this course. By sharing the beauty of our oceans we might start to care more and build or strengthen the connection between us and the sea.

As humans, we don’t connect on an emotional level to fish in the same way that we might to a dog, or cat, or some other mammal, so it’s easy to assume that fish don’t feel pain or react to stimuli in ways that we understand.

I felt the severity of nature and the strength of life, looking at the calf swimming full of bruises. I expressed the impression with a photo of a tail of the calf.

Fish are some of the most understood animals in the world. Here are five incredible facts you probably didn't know about them!

And beyond their intelligence, aquatic animals are essential for the sustainability of the marine ecosystem.

​“Our planet is choking with trash and no number of beach or waterway cleanups can stop it. We are treating the symptoms, not the disease. As a country, as a species, as individuals we need to stop consuming single use plastics.”

No matter who you are or where you live, there is always something you can do to protect marine life.

I believe the more of a connection we feel towards something the more we will strive to save and protect.

Since my young age, I have been passionate about wildlife documentaries. This world is fascinating because Nature is prioritised over all. An animal doesn’t lie and they are authentic.
