California could become the strictest Gun Control State in the Union soon

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.
