I think the real reason Tilapia is more popular is because it has been less fished than other species and therefore less strictly regulated.
Most Tilapia is farm raised as well though that does not mean that the water is clean.

I heard that in Australia they where experimenting with ways to farm raise Tuna.Not in ponds but in netted off locations in the ocean you could control their diet that way and also remove some of the strain on wild Tuna.They already do this with Salmon not enough to meet demands.



I believe that the mercury level has more to do with the fishes diet all the larger fish like Tuna eat lots of other fish so they of course become a sponge for all the crap the other fish ate.In the sea the higher up you are on the food chain the more mercury you ingest because all the fish you eat have absorbed mercury and that gets passed on to you.Kind of funny I think poison the water poison yourself.

Anyway in California poaching of abalone is a real problem.

How did we end up on this Cul-de-Sac?:haha:

I'm not even gonna ask how a gun thread turned into a proper diet for Tuna..

Only at Subsim:haha:

It seems fishy to me too; lets get back to everyone carries a Lemat Eh Armistad... nine .44s and a sawed-off shotgun all in one and black powder ain't really regulated...no waiting even in CA! Now that's a hand gun! Ol' JEB had one!:arrgh!:

Useless legislation. This state is going down the toilet.

Which is a tragedy to say the least because in the way of entertainment and culture its a helluva state to live in. But our legislators have their heads up their bums and its already largely a dump in the valleys. The valleys are more like spotted good communities surrounded by dumps.

And the effects of the state's deterioration will be felt everywhere else too, being the most populace state in the union and a massive hub of business and trade.

Well, they simply must legislate against guns and ammo because the state has the highest ratio of wackos per square mile than any other. The legislators also know that if they keep writing and passing laws that curtail the rights of their citizens, they'll have an armed mob descend on Sacramento in the very near future and that will just be the Los Angeles body shop owners.

No, that distinction belongs to NJ. I also think CA & NJ are in a running game of one-upmanship when it comes to gun legislation.

Massachusetts leads them both and has a raft of anti-gun legislation still pending.

Man, you should see how dirty my Tilapia pond water is. lol I really really have to thin the herd. Just saw new fingerlings in there this week. Luckily I've got a Thai cook indentured to me so gonna have panang nin fish this week! :up:

Now that's I gun I have wanted to own for a long time.

A fine thing! Was in Galway where my daughter's final semester in college was studying folk music. Got held up at Shannon for the week from the Iceland volcano; but getting stuck in Ireland is not stuck at all! My rugby coach is from Galway as well. Toured the Cliffs of Mohr, the burial sites from the stone age, Guinness and Jamieson, and drove from Cork to Galway without killing anybody (left side of the road for a Yank!). Cannot wait to get back!:arrgh!:

Unless of course it chain-fires like a Remington, which in this case could break your wrist and forearm in three different places.

I only have one gun, an old black powder double barrel and one of the barrels falls when you fire it if you don't hold it firmly. If the Yank SOB's {US govt} ever want my ONLY gun, I will gladly give it to them.:D

....a matched pair would be nice, but a repro colt or remington is sooooooo much cheaper that my frugal nature wouldn't go for it. :wah:

Town is a great place for the students, especially for the music.
Which pubs did she study in?
Tigh Coili, The Crane , Aras na Gael, Taafes and Tigh Neactain are my top 5 for taking the yanks to for music.
Cliffs of Moher, better waves than Hawaii and more consistant, if you can get out to them:03:
