And the birds and other critters that may eat the poisoned fish? Yep this will turn out well.

Another government cover up = We all know rotenone is what they use to capture THE CREATURE FROM THE BLACK LAGOON.
The true South American Invasive species.
Had an outbreak here in Florida in the 50’s don’t you know.

I believe that one is also referred to as “FRANKENFISH! (Or certainly the one from Minnesota.)

Not always. The filets can be delicious if cooked the correct way. The best I’ve ever had were grilled.
(But we’ve also had tilapia that tasted bad. My culinary-expert wife says the problem is due to improper cleaning and/or less-than-optimal fileting.)

I'm hardly an alarmist but farm-raised fish tastes like pond scum smells. Yuck! I prefer wild-caught and will skip eating fish if it is pond-raised. I prefer hormone enhanced beef. ;-P

I agree, no farm raised. I will go even further, no fresh water fish for me, salt water only.

Actually, we buy cow from a farmer. Tastes much better.

We raise cattle but we don’t eat our own beef.

Had an outbreak here in Florida in the 50s dont you know.Actually some decades later there was a colony of piranha getting established in the canals of Fort Lauderdale. They exterminated them with poison, copper sulfate, I think. But these fish are in a much larger area, not confined to canals. They probably will get established like the zebra mussels.

We raise bucking bulls for rodeos, too valuable on the hoof and too tough. LOL!

I’ve never eaten it, but when I was in the seafood biz, I was told that tilapia can vary widely, based upon the feed......there’s a large farmed tilapia industry.

Oh, that makes sense. I was wondering what sort of beef you were raising, that would be to expensive to eat. Like kobe, or something.
Bucking bulls certainly explain it.

There was an episode of Dirty Jobs that had Mike Rowe working at a fish hatchery. They raised both tilapia and striped bass, I believe it was. The bass were raised on regular food, while the tilapia were brought in to clean up the waste, both uneaten food and bass waste. The tilapia were chosen because they would both clean the tanks for them, and could be sold for food when they were large enough.
We’ve had some very clean tilapia, usually the best tasting was from Brazil. We absolutely refuse all the fish from China, especially the farm raised. It’s ridiculous how much fish in out local stores is Chinese. There’s even a company based in Gloucester; turns out they’re just packaging Chinese fish.

See, that is why I got to a local farm, and buy a cow on the hoof.
Sadly, I am no where near the shore.

It’s usually very low concentrations of the poison, and has been used successfully many times before.
