Well, it's a start... <G>

I did my own google search also, and all I could find was turtle farming
for release, not for sale.

I'm a big believer in aqua culture. Salmon, Sturgeon, etc.
Anytime we can start "farming" a luxury item and take the pressure off
the wild populations, the better! :-)

I'm waiting for abalone farming to really take off so I can enjoy that
wonderful mollusk again!

I still draw the line tho' at consuming cetaceans. I feel that they are
sentient and eating them is tantamount to cannibalism.
