Expert Solution

Step 1

Millions of fishes are there which are being killed every day for food in fish farms, which is also sometimes called Aquafarms. Fish farms release a lot of toxic waste, pesticides, and other chemicals into the coastal waters, thus destroying ecosystems. Aquaculture farms which raise fish in fenced-in areas of the ocean kill off the development of natural habitats by overloading them to a point where they cannot take it anymore.
