There are all sorts of reasons to be concerned about the fish you can buy at fish markets or grocery stores, reports Mother Nature Network. According to the organisation, over-fishing, mercury, and industrial fish farms with overly drugged fish that pollute the oceans are all reasons why putting more fish in our diets, which nutritionally is a good thing, can be a bad thing environmentally.
Just like growing a vegetable garden or even raising your own chickens isn’t anything new, backyard fish farming isn’t new either. It’s something that’s been around for a long time. It’s just that a new generation is learning about it and beginning to practice it.
According to Mother Nature Network, there are several methods of backyard fish farming including one that uses a small above ground swimming pool inside the house. Apparently, you don’t even need a backyard to get involved with backyard fish farming.
