    Pete,

                This is an interesting statistic. Any idea how that figure
    compares with fish consumed in California and the US?

    Do you think aquaculture is a practical strategy to address hunger with low
    income populations? We looked at some home based Tilapia farms in Hawaii but
    I really wasn't sure how successful they were. Would such operations be
    possible in a school or community garden as a food source and/or educational
    tool to teach about fish in the food cycle?

    Here's a new report from the FAO Sub-Committee on Aquaculture:

     

    http://www.fao.org/newsroom/en/news/2006/1000383/index.html

     

    "Nearly half the fish consumed as food worldwide are

    raised on fish farms rather than caught in the wild, says a new report

    from FAO."
