Growing Seafood Free of Contaminants

Today's seas, streams and rivers are filled with more and more contaminants from heavy metals, petroleum and other types of marine pollution, making our grocery store supply of fish and seafood suspect at best. But clean fish and seafood are some of the most nutritious and healthy foods we can eat.

You can grow your own fish in an aquaculture tank on your own property. You can control their food supply and the quality of the ecosystem the develop within.

Growing your own fish and freshwater seafood is inexpensive to begin and can be an easy and enjoyable home or commercial endeavor. Initial costs depend upon the size of your tank. A shallow tank, with a simple pump and filtration is sufficient to keep most freshwater fish healthy until you are ready to harvest your homegrown catch.

Many homeowners integrate their aquaculture system into their landscaping for a beautiful and relaxing hobby that produces healthy and nutritous food in a sustainable manner.
