A power outage cut electricity at the world's first successful tuna fish farming operation, meaning a vital pump designed to supply their tank with fresh, oxygen-rich sea water stopped working. With each fish worth thousands of dollars, the farm's owners are set to lose millions. Sixty-five other farms collapsed, killing around 1.5 million fish. http://news.linktv.org/videos/menhaden-the-most-important-fish-in-the-bay?start=0 Menhaden may be the most important fish in Atlantic coastal waters. They filter up to four gallons of water a minute and they are a key part of the ocean food chain. But now they are disappearing at an alarming rate -- harvested for omega 3 oil, fishmeal, and poultry feed.

It's time you did. Menhaden may be the most important fish in Atlantic coastal waters. They filter up to four gallons of water a minute and they are a key part of the ocean food chain. But now they are disappearing at an alarming rate -- harvested for omega 3 oil, fishmeal, and poultry feed. The potential loss of the Menhaden threatens the ecology of major US marine areas including the Chesapeake Bay. Students at American University's Center for Environmental Filmmaking made the award-winning film "Menhaden: The Most Important Fish in the Bay." They share the story of the Menhaden and the making of the film with Earth Focus. http://news.linktv.org/videos/earth-focus-oceans-turning-the-tide?start=1103 Our life depends on the oceans, and they're under threat. A new book "The Atlas of Coasts and Oceans" tells why. One out of three fish sold in the US may be mislabeled; it's called seafood fraud and a new campaign aims to stop it. Then, the film "Bag It" looks at how plastic kills marine life. Plus a look at research into how vegetarian fish may be the future of seafood.

But is it environmentally friendly? Aaron Watson and Steven Rogers at Baltimore's Institute of Marine and Environmental Technology explain why plant based fish feed and recirculated aquaculture may be the future for farmed fish.
