A lot of the fish you listed seem to be stuff that the Japanese and possibly asians in general tend to eat most of...

I think Japan possibly consumes the most fish based on their dietary habits, i know they are probably the top consumers of Tuna and Whale meats at least...

Definitely , they are also the biggest poachers of giant clams
 
I dont understand why fish farming is done in such poor fashion.

It should be treated like small batch organic farming.


I would love a nice 10x10 pool/pond with a nice breeding stock of bluegill and grow aquaponic greens and microgreens.


I would imagine feeding the fish as though they were aquarium pets and not just profit or cheap food would produce better than wild tasting fish.

I guess if you do that you can sell your fish at whole foods for 5 times as much as the rest of the farmed fish at other stores...

This would be a very good and productive idea, bluegill also taste good when bread is added to their diet, and they can breed multiple times a year.
 
Haha thats what im thinking.

Im in the ann arbor michigan area so theirs plenty of healthy hippies who spend waaaaay too much on food.


A plate of bluegill at any local 3 star and up restaurant STARTS at $16 for a single or maybe 2 fillets.


I have extensive horticultural background as well so the aquaponics would be another revenue source with nearly no monetary input.


Freaking love bluegill

Best fish , fun and easy to feed , hardy, and fearless, if you want huge fish keep some babies in a pond, but remove them from the pond before winter and take them indoors to a heated pond/tanks, because once they reach sexual maturity they don't grow much, or better yet keep them in a greenhouse and don't induce breeding for three years, when you do get off spring, harvest them eventually but not any of the original breeders (bluegill grow bigger in the presence of other big bluegill),
Oddly bluegill don't appear fond of eating their own kind.

I was absolutly planning a light deprivation green house sunk about 6' into the ground.

That way it will take minimal power to heat the pond in winter.

Ive already built a couple hydroponic green houses in michigan for year round use. Same idea, plus a pond.

If you leave a window open in the green house you can have a supply of insects that come and get eaten, and if you put a nice solar lamp inside at night you could get even more free food.
