These incredible creatures are known to be highly sophisticated, intelligent and curious. Considered a delicacy around the world, farming octopuses in coastal regions is an industry that requires the catching of vast amounts of fish and shellfish to feed them, putting further pressure on the planet’s already threatened marine livestock. Conservationists and researchers say that farming is ethically inexcusable and environmentally dangerous, and have called on private companies, academic institutions and governments to block funding for these ventures.
