We have all heard the passionate and heartfelt story of Moby Dick, and we have imagined those legendary trips in a battleship.
In fact, regardless of the romanticism, the whale oil industry was essential to light the houses of the population during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, and it was until the appearance of the kerosene that it began to be replaced by.
Finally, in 1986, the Whaling Commission established a moratorium on commercial hunting of cetaceans, since whale populations were at alarmingly low levels. Today, only Japan and Norway are engaged very controlled in hunting. Whale oil and kerosene have already been replaced by electric power; both only live in memory and romanticism.
The bottom line is that one product was replaced by another that offered the same result, but in a more sustainable way in all aspects. Many examples of business advancements of this type exist. Who does not remember videocenters, or blockbusters? Who did not play Atari? Who did not collect LPs? Who did not spend nights listening to the radio or watching television in black and white?
All these products and/or services were replaced. The secret is Darwinian: evolve or die. Well, fishing, or rather the production of fish and seafood, realised it was time to evolve. Aquaculture is a much more efficient and sustainable production method.
