permaculture

[jamesdavid Sneed <harvestcircle@hotmail.com>]

Besides the obvious consumption of energy for pumps and such, I wonder what 
the fish are being fed. My experience around hatcheries is that in some 
cases, the leading commercial foods have contained substances we wouldn't 
want in our food chain. Anybody know what the ukiah fish farm is using for 
this?
