Fantastic piece by @kennytorrella.bsky.social exploring what aquaculture is doing to farmed salmon. It’s exciting to see captive dewilding included in the conversation!
I set out to write a story about the practical ills of salmon farming (and I did), but also found an even bigger story kinda hidden in plain sight: How humanity is speedrunning the domestication of hundreds of aquatic species, and what it means for them.

I’m a bit late, but excited to share this op-ed by NYU Professor Becca Franks and me about the risks aquaculture poses to farmed animals 🐟🦐 foodtank.com/news/2025/09...
Aquaculture Is Expanding. What About the Animals in Them?
We can and should ask: how can we farm with an eye toward minimizing or altogether avoiding welfare harms?
