Two friends, an ecologist and an engineer, take a scientific voyage along the sparkling coast of Turkey to pull back the cover on modern fish farming. They experience the tragedy of tuna ranching, a successful nursery for sea bass, trout ponds elegantly terraced into a hillside, and an enormous fish feed factory, before finding hope for the future at a traditional mountain carp pond.
