Read this excerpt from a passage.

"If you enjoy cating baked fish, shrimp gumbo, crab cakes, or boiled lobster, you're in luck. Nutritionists say that seafood is
healthier to eat than other kinds of animal protein. It is low in fat and cholesterol, and high in the omega-3 oils that promote
both heart health and brain development. Current United States Department of Agriculture guidelines suggest that Americans
cat two to three seafood meals a week. Unfortunately, most Americans do not consume that amount of fish.
"However, even if Americans were willing to eat more fish, would the world's seas be able to provide it? Many places in the
world are already fished to their limits, and many native fish populations are dwindling to record lows. In order to meet even
current global consumption rates, experts at the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization estimate that the world will
need another forty million tons of seafood per year by 2030. Where will all this fish come from? Many people think that the
answer is aquaculture."
