We need "The Environmental Case" to answer a lot of the background questions about population estimations. We did, however, consider the merits of Aquaculture. We developed these five assumptions:

1. People do not eat prey fish
2. Predator fish eat only prey fish
3. Aquaculture happens on the coast (beacuse of access to large quantities of water) or in the sea near the coast (because of the costs associated with on land infrastructure)
4. We do not want to contaminate the ocean with genetically modified species
5. Aquaculture requires genetic modification or chemical/antibiotic additives

We have some concerns about aquaculture:

• What is the food supply for farmed fish?
• What locations meet the following two conditions?
  • Economically viable for aquaculture
  • Aquaculture will not have negative effects on the natural ecosystem
• How does aquaculture relate to genetic modification?
