wouldnt it be easier to raise something they have experience with on this side as far as infections and whatnot?



My Dad worked at was called "dom sea" fish farm back in the 70s and 80s. (Near Rochester)
They tried a variety of pacific salmon, Atlantic salmon and rainbow trout. At that time they felt rainbow got the most bang for the buck. Later they changed to Atlantic Salmon, I don't know what they are raising there now, if anything.
He also developed a self feeding system, which they did not use because it developed some aggressive fish getting large while others suffered.
They want all the fish to survive to market.
I did fish the main pond once. Good times!
