Fishfarming

I resist all those, who proclaim, that fishfarming would threaten our nature. Anadrome fish-
species like the long-nosed whitefish would have disappeared from our planet without
fishfarming, because the animals had lost their natural spawning-places by river-regulations.
So fishfarming offers the possibility of gaining fish for the gourmet`s need and the chance of
sustainig endangered species.
The gilt heads had been threatened by dynamite-fishing in the 70ths of the last century, but
now they are reproduced in Greece succesfully.
A very common gourmet-fish is the bass. This species was introduced into the German
wadden-sea by fish-farms and is sometimes caught by the shrimp-trawlers.
Kept in a huge aquarium they can be adapted easily to a life in an aquarium, but they can
grow to a length of 80cm. I was surprised, that my basses didn`t take my little butter-fish
(Pholis gunnellus) for prey, but accepted even dry food.
