Fish farms probably need improvement, but among our options for farmed protein sources, fish are one of the best. Generally very healthy, and they have a good conversion factor.
Also, good luck banning them globally. We don't have a world government just yet.
Lastly, refusing to eat any fish seems somewhat silly, unless you are willing to give up meat entirely. Our various other farmed meat sources really aren't that much better, and there are responsible fish options available. Just do some research.
Heavy metal toxicity in seafood from larger fish is a worry, even if the ocean was bursting with fish of all species all of a sudden. I haven't found farmed fish as yet up to my standards, just look at the colour of farmed salmon, and it doesn't make me feel too good after consuming. The best fish I have access to presently are sardines in glass from Spain.
World government worries me as it would threaten Israel (let alone everything else it deems bad) because it would become a scapegoat and distraction from its own evils. So I just ban certain fish in my own mind.

So work towards improving farmed fish, either with your votes or with your dollars. Don't just jump ship and tell everyone they should bail with you.
I am jumping ship on this item. In total I am down 3 mod points (and counting!). Moving onto greener, more biodynamic pastures!
... biodynamic pastures ...
Come again?
Biodynamics is a spiritual-ethical-ecological approach to agriculture, food production and nutrition.
... oh boy.
