No more heavy metal poisoning from farmed fish

Man changed sociologically and culturally when he stopped being a hunter-gatherer.He settled down to crop growing and domesticating animals for food, milk, eggs, pelt and for transport.

Here comes the next revolution. Instead of hunting the seas for marine fish for food, farming marine fish on land. It is profitable, gives fresher produce, more predictable quality and quantity.

Scientists have done fresh water fish and prawn farming for a long time. However, the produce tends to be affected by the pollution of the fresh waters. Mercury and other heavy metal poisoning is a perennial problem associated with this kind of farming.
