The water will not be very deep and the water temperature will be at the level to make the fish grow biggest and fastest. Oxygen will be fed into the water and Iow flying airplanes will spray the sea with food. Even without fish farming, scientists say that there are enough fish in the In-dian Ocean to feed all of India for a hundred years and in the Antarctic Sea and there are so many tiny fish that it is impossible to use them all up.
With education and more technology, people in poor countries will learn how to grow better food. They will become happier and have fewer children so the food problem will actually get better.
