It must cost more to catch a load of fish, to feed to fish, instead of letting them do it themselves.

Sure... and farming generally is inefficient, because it would cost more to plant those seeds, than to just let the wild plants grow themselves and harvest them. That assumption didn't work for the hunter-gatherer societies once other cultures discovered agriculture, and it won't work now.

Here in Alaska, commercial fishing prices have dropped over the last decade to where it just isn't very profitable to commercial fish any more, and it's because of the more efficient aquaculture in other countries. We've resisted it for years, and now we're paying for it.
