Octopus Farming in Gran Canaria?

 

The Spanish seafood company Nueva Pescanova intends to start commercial octopus farming in Gran Canaria in the Canary Islands. Octopuses are highly intelligent, curious and naturally solitary beings who are not suited to the overcrowded conditions that are typical of factory farms. To intensively confining these creatures into crowded, high stocking densities would likely cause unnatural aggression, cannibalism, injury, and death as they fight and struggle to escape.
