Letter: Insects hold answer to the fish farm feed dilemma

Published 13 November 2024

From Butch Dalrymple Smith, La Ciotat, France

The havoc wrought by feeding farmed fish with wild-caught fish could be eliminated if industrial-scale insect farming were used to provide the feed instead (26 October, p 16).

While convincing people to eat insects is an uphill struggle, it is relatively straightforward to get them to do so indirectly if they are “transformed” into fish first.
