Fisheries! PLEASE!

Rectangular building, maybe the size of 2 chicken coops side by side.

Fill with water or salt water depending on the fish being bred. Water quality as well as building material quality determines softcap of bred fish.

Insert roe, food, get fish. Must be at least 2 fish in the water to begin a continuous breeding cycle. Introduce new item "[x fish] minnow" for growing period. Maybe add arbitrary gender to fish to make male/female pairings more meaningful.

Only one type of fish can be bred per building? Or maybe each building has like 2-3 compartments for 2-3 different fish? I don't have really strong feelings towards this.

Takes lots of water. LOTS of water.

Water dirties over time (maybe quality gradually decreases?), can potentially kill fish, must be changed/cleaned at intervals.

Very small chance for green kelp to spawn in fisheries with quality matching current output.

Fish can be fed grains, seeds, meats, herbs, etc. (Swill, feed trough, normal stuff)

Maybe adding shrimp to the container helps keep it cleaner longer or something. Kind of like worms in compost bins.

If you want a fishery, then wall in a small lake like everybody else!

Sounds good, probably needs some thought on balance (How to make it so it's not annoying af and doable on a large scale without dedicating hours of your time to refill them with water daily) and so on but being able to actually get fish late game without fishing (and increase its quality) would be very nice.

Fisherman credo is laughably easy.

As previous posts have mentioned about this, it would be a great way of keeping fish relevant late game for quality.

Chum could be the primary feeding method. and can be made from perhaps buckets of swill(?) to incorporate it into quality grind.

Knowing reality, we'd end up with fish having 6-8 stats, similar to existing things like breeding quality, but also fin size or aggressiveness (so you can't breed pikes and nemos in one tank)
