Mental Health Break

Bluefin tuna are being caught faster than they can reproduce, which is terrible news for bluefin tuna and people who like to eat them (but seriously for the tuna).  These fish are awesome, and I didn’t know farming tuna was possible, but it is, with a few caveats.  Bluefin in captivity don’t procreate unless they’re shot with a hormone-tipped spear gun (really).   Also, the fish the bluefin are fed still have to come from somewhere, so calling farm raised fish sustainable is something of a misnomer.  More sustainable though.  – via Kottke
