$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Shaved Monkey', 'O')mega 3 is the reason we need fish in our diet
Japanese don't live the longest because they eat turkey
Hopefully the price of oil will make fishing un-economic and fish will restock.
Will be great for those with a rod who live near some water.


Wrong!!!

Farmed fish do not have Omega 3

Period.

Perch strike oil, the good oil!

In 1998 the CSIRO conducted a study on the beneficial oils that are found in Australian fish.

When compared with around 200 other seafoods, (A term which includes farmed fish.) Queensland Silver Perch come in a very good third. Later, Queensland Jade Perch were tested and found to contain extraordinary high levels of omega-3, making Queensland Jade Perch clearly number one of all the seafoods tested.

Humans certainly don't NEED fish in our diet to live long healthy lives. That's simply untrue.

Small-scale aquaculture interests me, I could see it being quite viable in some areas. But giant commercial fish farms are monstrosities. I suggest those who suggest we just switch to farmed fish do a bit of research on the ecological impact of large-scale fish farming. Start with farmed Atlantic salmon and tell me it's a good, desirable thing.
It's good desirable thing.


Okey dokey, Pstarr, “behind the Redwood Curtain,” finds salmon CAFOs run by transnational corporations to be a perfectly acceptable industry, both good and desirable. Despite the massive pollution these fish factories create, despite the impact on native fish stocks, despite over use of antibiotics and other undesirable chemicals to keep these overcrowded fish alive in such unnatural conditions, despite the fact that it takes pounds of wild-caught fish (also shipped around the world) to create one pound of farmed salmon, despite the transfer of power/wealth from small fishermen to transnational corporations, despite the introduction of GM salmon, despite the massive amount of petroleum required to produce and distribute this product around the planet.

It's a perfectly rational system to fish out irrevelant “bait fish” stocks like anchovy and capelin so we can provide First World Consumers with shit salmon from the other side of the planet, died pink to appear “natural,” flash frozen, packaged in ample amounts of plastic and cardboard, jetted around the world, and delivered Just-In-Time by a big diesel truck to a big box store a convenient 20 mile drive from your house for a mere $1.99/lb. Yep, nothing irrational about that food system at all. I stand corrected. I'm sure it'll survive peak oil just fine.

A lot of people round here put fish/yabbies in dams.
Everyone has a dam on their property.
The Community garden has 3
You don't feed them they just eat what's available ,you then fish for them in a few years.

Silver Perch can be stocked at about 300-400 per hectare if they are not fed
Sleepy Cod are one of the few fish that will breed in farm dams

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Shaved Monkey', 'D')idn't say we need fish to live long healthy lives just Omega 3 helps and fish have it. So does Purslane as I have said in another thread.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portulaca_oleracea
My small scale localised fish farming suggestion had ways of feeding you fish that were sustainable.
Currently most fish farms, feed fish, fish food that is made up of fish so that cant go on for ever.

I am confused

If some farmed fish are raised in the sea and fed fish or fish products, howcome they do not have omega 3? or very low omega 3?

They are raised in the sea, so shouldn't they have omega 3 as well?

they have a lot of crap too. Well wild caught isnt much better, oceans were used as a dump for thousands of years. There is like 2 mg of mercury in a pound of swordfish, that is 1/7th of a cubic millimeter, not a joke.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Ibon', 'F')or everyone conscious of the plundering of the seas there are several million unaware who will keep buying seafood especially at these prices I took note of at this supermarket.


And then there are those of us that are aware and continue to plunder! ARRRRRRRRR!
