There are some problems with aquaculture though. All the extra fish poop has to be cleaned up, and since the fish live so close together, they tend to get sick, so the water has to be drugged. Maybe you can think up a better method of aquaculture?
Nah, no problems. There will be more water, so the poop will be less dense (less poop per liter of water, not less mass per CC of poop). The increased space will also allow for more free range like / less sick fishes.
Also, the abandoned and submerged low lying cities have a decent infrastructure to adopt to easily build fencing, pumps, giant filters, etc.
Don't forget the ground contaminants that will become newly submerged as well as the inability to find fuel and the evolution of the gil in man-kind.....
At least we can then use that to our advantage to collect trinkets from the old land to sell for cash.... even if we are cast out of society.
an article i read recently mentions that an emerging problem with aquaculture is supplying feed for the fish - right now much of the feed is coming from Peru; the marine ecosystem there is failing becuase they've removed all of the anchovies from their waters which then get sent to factories that turn them into fishmeal. one of the bigger downfalls is that these factories create "billowing black smoke", which has drastically increased lung problems in local people... there has to be another way to feed the fish farms?

Maybe there'd be a lot of bottom feeders like catfish, and maybe they'd get really, really huge.
