Impressive engineering, genuinely. But I'd push back on the framing that scaling aquaculture is straightforwardly good.
Fish sentience is increasingly well-supported in the neuroscience literature. We already kill somewhere around 1-2 TRILLION fish annually... a number that dwarfs land animal slaughter yet attracts almost no ethical scrutiny. Optimising and scaling that system is worth examining carefully.
The part of your website that says "land can't feed 10B people, wild fisheries are maxed out, therefore aquaculture" also quietly ignores plant-based protein, which is more land-efficient and doesn't require instrumentalising sentient animals at industrial scale.
I'm not saying the engineering problems aren't interesting. They clearly are. But at 1-2 trillion deaths per year, this is the largest scale of animal killing in human history, and we're building better tools to do more of it.
