Fish farming is hailed by some as a solution to the overfishing problem. However, these farms are far from benign and can severely damage ecosystems by introducing diseases, pollutants and invasive species. The damage caused by fish farms varies, depending on the type of fish, how it is raised and fed, the size of the production, and where the farm is located. analyzing the nutrient quality and improve in future and further research of our vermi wash fish pellets we can make informed decisions about using it as a soil amendment and fertilizer to support healthy fish growth and improve fish production in our indoor rearing center and ornamental fish rearing center.
