...conversion into biofuel. Meanwhile, demand for food is surging in China and India, where hundreds of millions of increasingly prosperous people are eating more. Though the demand in these countries is for less rice and more meat and fish, this increases the consumption of grain in the form of feed: it takes 7-15 kg of grain to produce a kilogram of meat. Record-high oil prices and escalating freight costs, as well as drought in the Middle East, have all contributed to world wheat stocks, for example, plunging to their lowest level in 30 years...

They've now spawned three times and produced eggs and larvae. The next step is to feed the millions of larvae the right plankton so they develop into tiny fish, eventually to be farmed in offshore pens. "Out of 10 steps, we're probably at No. 3 or 4," says Mike Thomson, Clean Seas' research and development manager. The company says it's prepared to spend another...
