Dear Editor, In principal yes fish farming makes sense, but with at present a 4:1 protein conversion ratio it would be better and more sustainable to eat the wild fish rather than farm. Deep water or open ocean farming is the future. Living in Ireland we see the damage salmon farming operations do to inshore bays, and local wild salmon and sea trout stocks through faeces pollution and sea lice
