COMMENTS: LIFE AQUATIC
Watch out for cobia as the newest fish dish at your local restaurant. ABC's Jeffrey Kofman gave us the heads up. As wild fisheries get depleted, as much as 40% of the fish in our diet is farmed--but most farms pollute the coastal ecosystem, with too many fish, too much fish food, and too much fish excrement in shallow waters. Cousteau-like he showed us scuba shots of a newly designed deep-water fish farm off the Puerto Rican island of Culebra where the currents are strong enough to wash pollution away. The fish are fed with down a 90-foot long tube with organic pellets--and the species is cobia.
No word on how farm-raised cobia tastes.
