Sushi chefs warn on side-effects of raw fish boom
> http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20080328/...pan_sushi_dc_1 Health issues are minor side-effects compared to extinction of tuna. A few years ago I quit buying tuna altogether, fresh or canned, and I wish you all would do the same. I've made sushi at home regulairily about 20 years now and I really would not like to serve my guests 'the last piece of tuna'. Jukka |

We'll probable have farm raised tuna still, but at what price. I may live longer enough to see this happen, although 43 years is a long time. -- Dan |

Fish farming was a bad word before, now it is supposed to save wild fish. Go figure. Jukka |

Not sure that will save them.. but it will be cheaper for companies to grow fish than to catch wild ones. Once the ocean is dead and farmed is the only option, then they will raise prices thru the roof. -- Dan |

Interesting that in the 50's Japanese wasn't crazy about tuna and it
was only good for cat food. |

However a few years ago a university fish research facility in Japan succeded in extracting Bluefin Tuna eggs, fertilizing them and actually hatching Bluefin Tuna in captivity. This technology over last few years while still rare, has been so succcesful that the University authorized the sales of the excess farm stocks to supplement their income. I predict that that this is an indicator of the farm-born/farm-rasied tuna we may all be eating in the future. Musashi |

Yeah, farmed tuna are caught and fattened.. but they will need to raised them from egg or they will go extinct. They do this for sea turtles in the Cayman Islands. Most of them are used for food, some are released to help keep up the numbers of wild turtles. -- Dan |

But of course those are the issues that all farming, whether aquatic or land based must address. The Farmed vs. Wild Salmon debate (read: war) in the US/Canada would have one believing that all farming is a complete disaster. I think that while perhaps not wholly incorrect, it may be an exaggeration. The Hamachi we eat is all farmed. Japan has been farming Yellowtail since the late 1960s. Today even Australia exports farmed Hamachi. M thinking that every |

M> Today even Australia exports farmed Hamachi. What's the situation on abalone these days? I first tried and loved it just before it began to be scarce as its popularity climbed. Twelve years ago, I saw a documentary on farming abalone at the University of Hawaii, I believe. James Silverton Potomac, Maryland E-mail, with obvious alterations: not.jim.silverton.at.verizon.not |
