Farmed fish are fed fishmeal derived from wild catch.

They also destroy the local ecosystems where the farms are positioned. The excessive consumption we're accustomed to is the problem. But good luck stopping that because line must go up exponentially.

They're fed many things, mostly soy pellets, but you're correct they do need some protein supplements.

That's like saying solar panels require plastics from oil therefore they're pointless, we just need to improve the process to minimize wild catch inputs.
