I am the hatchery manager for Gårdsfisk, a land-based fish-farming company in southern Sweden. Conventional fish farming in the sea can have big environmental and welfare impacts. Fish can escape from their enclosures, they can spread disease, and waste from the farms can over-fertilize waterways and ruin aquatic ecosystems. Our aim is to produce the most sustainable fish in the world.
