The author's choice of language such as "downsides" and referring to farmed fish as Frankenstein supports her bias against opponents of aquaculture. The comparison to monsters and making fun of the opponents' fears also demonstrates her negative attitude towards them. Additionally, the use of language like "destroy the aesthetic beauty" implies that the author views the opponents as overly concerned with superficial appearances.
