The age of fish meat is here. Our hunger for seafood grows and grows...but the seas are running out of fish. More than half of the fish the world eats comes from fish farms. But what exactly is farmed fish? Where does it come from, and how is it made? Two friends, a fish scientist and engineer, take a sailing voyage through the cradle of western civilization to pull back the cover on modern fish farming. Along the way they discover the tragedy of bluefin tuna and the joy of carp.
Filmmakers of "Fish Meat" are Ted Caplow, executive producer and narrator, and Andy Danylchuk, host and scientific advisor offer a film screening.
In 2010, Caplow founded Fish Navy Films to explore marine sustainability. “It’s hard to know what to eat, particularly when it comes to seafood,” Caplow says. He brings his expertise in sustainable food production and energy management together with his love of the sea to create films that both educate and stimulate the viewer. His goal is to balance entertainment with truth to discover compelling solutions to some 21st century dilemmas.
Danylchuk is a fish ecologist at the University of Massachusetts Amherst who is on a personal crusade to ensure that fish are around for future generations to enjoy, whether on a dinner plate, on the end of a fishing line, or simply something to watch in wonder. "Wild or farmed - our actions will determine the future of fish."
