The secrecy about the first octopus farm in the world, created in Spain and with cruel methods: It is like creating a breeding ground for wolves or lions

In 2018, the Ministry of Science announced that the Spanish Institute of Oceanography (IEO) had achieved the scientific feat of breeding octopuses in captivity. From there, he transferred the patent for this working formula to the company Nueva Pescanova, which announced that by 2023 it would build something like a fish farm in Gran Canaria in which more than a million octopuses would be raised each year with the sole purpose of satisfying a demand in the food market. However, the year is coming to an end and there are still no signs of life from this new company, which has also received strong criticism. In the midst of the debate about the existence of macro farms of chickens and other animals, the appearance of an octopus farm with no purpose other than economic benefit has raised many voices against it.
