Stroll by a supermarket fresh fish counter and you'll see varying shades of pink and gray flesh - salmon, trout, catfish, raw shrimp- piled on mounds of crushed ice. But look closer through the smudged display case and you'll find a United Nations assembly of marine ambassadors, name tags proclaiming: "Arrowtooth Flounder, U.S.A., wild" or "Fresh farmed salmon steak, color added, Canada, farm-raised" or "Raw shrimp, Thailand, farm-raised." Though the debate over food miles - the amount of carbon used transporting food from its source to your plate - has been widely discussed of late, there's another issue playing out in this seafood case that's less prominent but equally important: aquaculture. You've got a much more controlled and contained system in ponds or tanks or raceways inland,...

FRANKLIN - Sterilized blue tanks of varying sizes sat empty Tuesday inside the new National Coldwater Marine Aquaculture Center in Franklin, but they won't be empty much longer.

Snowbanks were still piled high around the Center for Cooperative Aquaculture Research, where the thermometer last week struggled to reach the 40s and the temperature in Taunton Bay remained killer cold. But conditions were tropical inside the quarters of the center's newest tenant, Sea and Reef Aquaculture. There, hundreds of tiny, brightly colored fish darted and shimmered about in dozens of warm- water tanks. The fish are being raised for sale to pet stores and wholesale distributors nationwide. It is one of only five marine tropical fish hatcheries in the country, and likely the only one operating in a northern climate.
Displaced furniture workers harvest more than 5,000 fish every day from this farm near Martinsville Speedway. They pump them into white tanks that -- like some of the chairs they used to assemble -- are hauled in 18-wheeler trucks to buyers in Washington, Toronto and points in between.

[...] yet, for all the benefits of a local diet, eating locally doesn't always translate into more sustainability. Because the typical farmers market is supplied by dozens of different farms, each transporting its crops in a separate van or truck, a 20-pound shopping basket of locally grown produce might actually represent a larger carbon footprint than the same volume of produce purchased at a chain retailer, which gets its produce en masse, via large trucks. [...] for all our focus on the cost of moving food, transportation accounts for barely one-tenth of a food product's greenhouse gas emissions.
