Fisherman catch tons of live carp at a fish farm near Warsaw, Poland. Farming fish remains a controversial practice, as diseases and parasites that plague fish raised in confined pens can often infect nearby wild stocks. However, in a world with limited fish supplies, farms also help to reduce pressures on natural populations. Photograph by Katarzyna Mala/AP
