This is the kind of innovation that a free market has enabled for decades. Conservatives should applaud this sort of enterprise.

Interesting concept.... I’m surprised it has not been tried before....

Sort of like open range chicken farming...

These were the first farmed fish raised in U.S. federal waters and required a special research permit from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).

Why?

It’s great news but I suspect they will eventually have to hire guards to keep PRETA and ELF and others from cutting the pens open to free the fishies.

Neat idea - I hope they’re wildly successful (but wait until PETA finds out).
