> The impact to open-water fisheries can be undone if the markets appreciate farm-raised fish for their quality.
Is not so simple. Marine Aquaculture needs huge amounts of wild fishes to feed the farm fishes. The more aquaculture you have, more pressure on some fisheries. Also less pressure on other, that in fact adds an extra of pressure to the first fisheries. China has increased its fleet in the last decades for that.
All this "fishes are sentient" stuff is toxic for your job. My advice is to avoid it like a plague. This people would be typically unable to keep a carnivore fish alive.
