Really? So they succeed, to whom will they sell them to, and how much will they cost? Why do this? The initial cost will be stratospheric. What silliness.

It is really silly. I think having a NASCAR race on the Moon would be better.

I did not read the linked article. Long story, but it’s a condition of my federal parole. Anyway, this is yet another silly project. I sure hope no taxpayer dollars were involved.

to whom will they sell them to

Those folks that live in their interstellar bases on the dark side of the moon.

Agree.
The product of a Moon base should be ethanol, oxygen and food.
Fish would play a very minor role in any responsible economy there.

As a source of protein or a lunar colony they’d be better than chickens. They are already acclimated toa weightless environment.

The goal is a self sustaining colony on the moon.

The colonists that they hope will be living there of course. Fish is good food needing little care. Cost is what the traffic will bear
