I didn't know Moose Mountain was still in operation. Is it? C +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++= Growing pains in Canada’s fish farms By Peter Gorrie Toronto Star July 19, 2003 CAPREOL, Ont.- Dark-silver Arctic Char – about 50,000 of them, averaging 500 grams – swim in languid circles inside a huge plastic bag. Until, that is, site manager Vince Wissell flings scoops of food pellets across the surface. Then, the enclosure froths and foams s hungry fish battle for the brown bits of nourishment that fatten them until they’re large enough to be filleted. The bag, 10 metres in diameter and 13 metres deep, is one of four suspended in the cold water that fills a former open-pit iron mine outside this mining and railroad town, an hour north of Sudbury. If you buy fresh char fillets in a GTA supermarket, chances are it came from here. The operation is called Moose Mountain Fish Fisheries, a deceptively primitive looking array of rough wooden buildings, tarp-enclosed steel tanks, pipes, pumps, generators and computer gear sprawled over rugged pre-Cambrian rocks. This year, Moose Mountain will send 100 tonnes of fish to market. In a couple more, in full production, the total should double. It’s a unique part of Canada’s effort to stay afloat in the vast and expanding global ocean of fish farming, or aquaculture.

Up here, Atlantic salmon escaping from BC fish pens seem to be establishing themselves. In Texas, I think there are herds of African antelope that are becoming rare in Africa. Lots of wild animals from Africa run in herds in Texas now and Pythons are becoming established in Florida. Florida probably needed a large constrictor most other tropical areas have them-lol. One of my 10 top mysteries is WHY, when North and South America were separated, did sea snakes not get established in the Atlantic? There are zillions of sea snakes in the Pacific, but none in the atlantic?? One theory on why they are so poisensous is that if a fish swallows them, they can bite them, and their venom is so strong the fish will throw them up-lol.
