U.S. Salmon Aquaculture: Ethical Issues in Farmed Salmon Kimberly Jones Troy University Dr. Miller   Abstract There are many ethical arguments surrounding aquaculture. The salmon industry in the United States has many ethical concerns in relation to farmed salmon. This paper will first discuss the salmon industry, then discuss specific ethical issues facing farmed salmon, and finally review any laws, regulations or relief efforts in place to reduce these ethical concerns, or that aggravate these

The photosynthetic rates of Camomba Caroliniana, were effected by the color of light it was exposed to during the experiment. As seen in Table 1, Camomba Caroliniana that was exposed to green light had an average photosynthetic rate of 0.13 mL O2 produced/g/hour, which was lower than the photosynthetic rate of Camomba Caroliniana that was exposed to white light (0.19 mL O2 produced/g/hour). The data from table 1 can also be used to determined the reliability of the experiment, the standard errors

Vestigial traits are evidence as remnants of past natural adaptations. These traits are no longer needed for the current lifestyle and environmental niche of the organism. Humans possess several vestigial traits that are no longer effective or useful, such as the erector pili. These smooth muscle fibers contract and lead to which are caused by erect hair follicles. This reflex often happens when the organisms is frightened or threatened. In animals with a fur coat this can cause their fur to expand

An abundant amount of phosphorus and nitrogen may cause eutrophication, which has many negative effects on aquatic ecosystems (table 2).

the quality of daily life [16]. Over the past few years, there has been growing awareness of the unintentional presence of Pharmaceuticals and Personal Care Products (PPCPs) in various compartments of the aquatic environment at concentrations capable of causing detrimental effects to the aquatic organisms. This has become a major concern because PPCPs are extensively and increasingly used in human and veterinary medicine, resulting in their continuous release to the environment. Although pharmaceutical

fertilizer, animal manure and other farm products into the water and ground. Agricultural runoff can affect marine life because of excess nutrients running into the water, and it can also leak into the ground and affect water quality for drinking. Aquatic ecosystems are negatively affected by agricultural runoff because mercury and fertilizer decreases chance for reproduction and egg production. In addition, when chemicals and excess nutrients leak into the ground, it can be very dangerous to water

Introduction Water is a crucial part of life; the human body is made up of 75 percent water, (Pandey, 2005). It is one of the most pivotal nutrients in the human body due to its functions like carrying nutrients in and out of cells in living creatures. Water is also essential in the removal of waste products from the body and also in the regulation of body temperature in warm-blooded organisms, (Pandey, 2005). Research has revealed that human beings can live without food for a month, but they cannot

The Colorado Parks and Wildlife, CPW, is doing everything that they can to control aquatic nuisance species. Regular boat inspections before entering a body of water and educating boaters are major ways of controlling ANS. Before entering a body of water that is regulated by the state, a boater must get a thorough boat inspection. For example

healthy, they need regulated water to help them avoid diseases and bacteria. In the US alone over 190 metric tons of salmon is consumed on a daily basis. In the world, over 190,000 tons of salmon is eaten on a daily basis. Accounting for 70% of the aquatic market, salmon is the fastest growing food production system in the world. . Salmon farming is considered to be one of the most harmful production
