I wonder about nutrient rich waste water from the facility as well as antibiotics and growth hormones in the raising of these fish. Sustainable maybe, but at what cost ? Could be the ecological mess that these large scale pork factories are. They use the word "Sustainable " and people will think it means " Organic " which I fear it is not.

According to the artical they do not need to use antibiotics. I am not sure about growth hormones.

Cool, hopefully it can absorb some of the pressure off of the fishery

Sustainable would imply there is no ecological waste, or far less to speak of. Organic is much more of a buzzword these days. i.e. "organic" chemicals that are actually more toxic and harmful than their non-organic counterpart.
