Octopus Farming: A Misguided Approach to Conservation
Octopus populations worldwide are under threat from overfishing, habitat loss, and environmental change.
A proposed solution is to farm octopuses in captivity to reduce wild harvests. However, this approach is unsubstantiated and misguided.

These plans even suggest that such efforts could contribute to restocking wild populations in the future.
Author's summary: Octopus farming is not a viable solution for conservation.
