JLC@SD Posted August 24, 2007 #26 Share Posted August 24, 2007 While on our 8/12/07 Mariner cruise when docked at Grand Caymen, there was someone fishing from the back of the ship. They actually caught a fish and brought it onboard. My wife teased that it was probably dinner. I imagine is was a crew member enjoying his/her day.Bill The four guys at the bow in this photo are crew members that were fishing at night........about 11 pm......:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oville Posted August 24, 2007 #27 Share Posted August 24, 2007 Whatever it is it's dry and not very good. Frozen fish rarely is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hypo Posted August 24, 2007 #29 Share Posted August 24, 2007 I ask becasue farmed fish is disgusting plus it aids at killing the wild fish, ex. salmon. Propeller chopped fish, well you could get a multitude of different fish, maybe even a whale. Hmmmm, Let's see....Farmed fish kills wild fish vs Wild fish, caught, killed, and eaten by multitudes of human beings=wild fish are still dead fish:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have watched nature films on this and it's been proven. It's great that they can farm fish since we do need more than available. It's just that today the farming system destroys the natural habitat. I know they are all dead in the end, I don't think that was the point the previous poster was trying to make.

A Sixth? Posted August 24, 2007 #31 Share Posted August 24, 2007 I started a fish farm this spring and it did not go well.... the OP has a point. Every single fish I planted failed to grow.... in fact the whole field began to smell and attracted sea gulls by the dozens... :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be careful what you're saying. The above is PARTIALLY true IF you're talking about salmon. Other fish besides salmon are farmed, however. Catfish is a true success story along with tilapia. Farming these two species of fish has provided A LOT of fish for people to eat where it was previously unavailable and it has caused little to no harm to native fish and the environment.

They're supposed to go in the ground tail-side down. Try again next year :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I lived in Mississippi a few years back and saw a bunch of catfish farms that were all self-contained. There were no places for the fish to go if they got out of their ponds, unless they managed to grow legs and lungs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
