No, I mean people getting Creutfeld-Jacob's Disease from eating cannibalistic fish.

Can the last politician to go out the revolving door please turn the lights off?

Re: O/T (none / 1)

I dunno about fishy CJD, but there's also the scary dinoflagellate that kills fish after giving them icky open sores and makes people sick too. Plenty of fish hysteria to go around. Not to mention your garden variety red tides....

Re: O/T (none / 1)

Can't happen at this moment since they're being fed the ugly pelagic stuff that's pretty much all you get from the oceans these days and they don't dare showing on the shop stalls.

But I saw on french TV a few weeks ago a doc on big french fish farms that go full vertical: since the crap catches are also collapsing, they are breeding their own bait fish to feed the noble species that have a market (Salmon, Daurade, what's the english for that ?? probably Bar/Loup aslo, which you gotta translate from one coast of France to the other)

Guess in a few years, they'll probably grow their krill in clone vats to feed the feed...

Re: O/T (none / 0)
