Las Vegas Sun quotes Anderson in article on aquaculture, food security
Paul Anderson, director of the Maine Sea Grant College Program and Aquaculture Research Institute at the University of Maine, was quoted in a Las Vegas Sun article about celebrity chef Rick Moonen’s efforts to educate the world about responsible seafood farming and ocean conservation. Wild species of Pacific and Atlantic salmon, which U.S. government sources say are on the verge of going extinct due to overfishing, could benefit from continued aquaculture growth, according to the article. With “no guarantee” that endangered salmon and other fish will be replenished anytime soon, Anderson said further advancements in science and aquacultural farming would be needed to help “figure everything out.”
