It depends on what form of aquaculture. species such as salmon and those that are carnivorous and actually require feed derived from wild fish. The amount of captured fish to raise farmed fish is massive (something like a ratio of 4:1) this then is a huge issue for the sustainability of wild fish stocks.
Beyond this many of the farms can be environmentally degrading affecting local fish with disease, escapment etc. additionally the seabed can become a wasteland. It should be noted that the extent of effects are limited by the location and size of farms.

What are the advantages and disadvantages of mariculture?
Mariculture, the cultivation of marine organisms in their natural habitats, offers several advantages, including sustainable seafood production, reduced pressure on wild fish stocks, and the potential for economic growth in coastal communities. However, it also has disadvantages, such as the risk of environmental degradation, potential spread of diseases to wild populations, and the challenge of managing waste and pollution. Balancing these factors is essential for sustainable development in marine aquaculture.
Approximately what percent of the US fishery products are acquired by mariculture?
Approximately 20% of the fishery products in the United States are acquired through mariculture, which is the cultivation of marine organisms in their natural habitats, usually for commercial purposes. Mariculture plays a significant role in supplementing wild fisheries and meeting the growing demand for seafood. The percentage may vary based on specific species and market conditions.
What is the three differences between culture fishery and capture fishery?
1.Aquaculture is related to freshwater, mariculture is identified with seawater. 2. Aquaculture is the branch involving the whole spectrum of fish products. But Mariculture pertains to a branch of aquaculture. 3. Aquaculture is farming of salt water and freshwater organisms like finfish, crustaceans molluscs and aquatic plants. Mariculture, on the other hand is a specialized wing of aquaculture that is undertaken in marine environments.

What is fish farming?
Fish farming is the principal form of aquaculture, while other methods may fall under mariculture. It involves raising fish commercially in tanks or enclosures, usually for food.
