...meal, to yield 1 lb. of farmed salmon--an exchange that depletes the world supply of protein. The diet of farmed salmon lacks the small, pink-colored krill that their wild cousins eat, so the flesh of farmed fish is gray; a synthetic version of astaxanthin, a naturally occurring pigment, is added to the feed...

The images Ackroyd and Harvey created would last only as long as the chlorophyll (the green pigment) lived. Once the grass died, so did the chlorophyll and the image would fade in a relatively short period of time, several months at most. So Ackroyd and Harvey teamed up with scientists to overcome the fading problem. Working at the institute of Grassland and Environmental Research, they found...
