voice your opion about this topic,
read up on it @ aquaculture problems on the google site. we don't want the frankenfish in our gulf.
the only people that will make money on this is noaa fisheries service and anybody in the business of exporting fish overseas like one individual who sits on the gulf council board. its all about money. fat wallets ! and the hell with what ever the outcome of the peoples jobs, water conditions, wild fisheries etc.
a few of you asked where would they put these cages. if i had to guess the midnight lump is a spot they would like.
they will ward off a perimiter for miles around these so called cages. they don't want any boat traffic around them or any fishing. so our fishing will be restricted no telling in how many places if they were put in place.
as of right now they have aquaculture projects for salmon. the salmon industry is already useing 80% of the menhaden oil produced in the us. so if they have to start making more menhaden oil to make food pellets to feed these fish in these cages they want to install here, that means they need more menhaden. the pogie industry will take a heavy blow off of the louisiana coast. if the pogie population gets wiped out , then what will the wild fish eat. we will lose more fish than anyone can imagin. they are not looking at that, all they see is $$$$$$. then when the fisheries die to the point where we can't catch any fish recreationally they will blame it on over fished by the public or commercial fisherman and cut our quotas back even more.
the reason hardly anyone knows about this is they are keeping it hush hush trying to slip it in quietly. once it passes they will run with it. the more you people express your thoughts the better.
theres a disease called white spot that fish get from living in these cages that they don't know how they will treat other than with antibotics in their food pellets that has not even been approved yet by the food and drug administration. its a guessing game about everything they are wanting to try here. no research on how it will effect the gulf waters yet. the aquaculture project in other countries have the waters there so contaminated with bile it is stinched with the smell of the dead , and the eco system is dieing. the aquaculture project in puerto rico is raiseing cobia, they have 15000 fish per cage and they don't even look like cobia. genetically they seem to have changed from being in captivity and fed these menhaden pellets.
put these cages somewhere else but in the gulf of mexico. this gulf council is suppose to be protecting our waters not destroying them.
