Which fishes are suitable for farming?

It is becoming apparent that only a few fish species are suitable for husbandry. In our fair-fish database we currently find four of them: Nile tilapia and African sharptooth catfish are quite suitable, and yellowtail amberjack and common carp are only just suitable.

What do you advise us to do?
(multiple answers possible)

fair-fish should demand laws for aquaculture, according to which only demonstrably suitable species may be kept in captivity. fair-fish should research husbandry conditions for suitable species that guarantee animal welfare. Aquaculture should only be allowed as a supplement to moderate and animal-friendly fishing.
