Because farmed fish are frequently housed in cramped quarters, illness outbreaks may become more likely. Local ecosystems may be disrupted if these illnesses spread to wild fish populations. Furthermore, the surplus nutrients from fish waste and uneaten feed from fish farms can pollute nearby waters by causing eutrophication, algae blooms, and oxygen deprivation. Sustainable aquaculture methods, which emphasize improved waste management, disease prevention, and a decreased use on antibiotics, are being developed to lessen these effects.","mcq_options":[{"right":"no","answer":"Overharvesting of wild stocks"},{"right":"yes","answer":"Spread of disease and pollution"},{"right":"no","answer":"Increased marine biodiversity"},{"right":"no","answer":"Reduced carbon footprint"}],"multi_answers":"no","subject_terms":[{"id":1846,"title":"Geography of the United States","slug":"geography-of-the-united-states"}],"topic_terms":[{"id":1762,"title":"Agriculture of the United States","slug":"agriculture-of-the-united-states"},{"id":1761,"title":"Forestry and Fisheries of the United States","slug":"forestry-and-fisheries-of-the-united-states"}],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mcqacademy.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/mcq\/11647","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mcqacademy.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/mcq"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mcqacademy.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/mcq"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mcqacademy.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3502"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mcqacademy.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=11647"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mcqacademy.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=11647"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"topic","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mcqacademy.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topic?post=11647"},{"taxonomy":"subject","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mcqacademy.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/subject?post=11647"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
