Fish Factory Farms

Unassuming on the surface, each of these aquafarm cages is stuffed with as many as 50,000 individuals. Because they would normally navigate vast oceans and use all their senses to do so, many fish go insane from the cramped conditions and lack of space in fish farms. The tight enclosures inhibit their ability to navigate properly and cause them to knock against each other and the sides of the enclosure—this jostling causes sores and damage to their fins as well.
