Urban aquaculture

Professor Martin Schreibman says our oceans have been overfished beyond repair. If we're going to keep eating fish and chips, tuna tartare, and all those omega-3 fatty acids, we may have to rely on aquaculture. Schreibman is working to bring those fish farms straight to the demand cities. He has developed a water purifying and recycling system that allows fish and plants to grow in tanks scaled to fit indoors.  Schreibman is currently testing the project with tilapia in the basement of the Aquatic Research and Environmental Assessment Center at CUNY’s Brooklyn College.  He envisions constructing a new aquaculture industry in cities in order to create food and jobs, prevent overfishing, reduce fish imports, and improve the sustainability of cities.  Fish sticks, anyone?
