I have been thinking lately about the way commercial fishery owners stock their waters in the interests of making a fast buck!
Has a fish keeper I know that to over stock an aquarium with fish means that you are going to have problems not only with fish health, but also with over crowding. I am able to over stock my tanks just a little as I have good powerfull filtration and plenty of surface movement (for gas exchange) but I would never dream of over crowding as I believe in giving my fish a good environment to live in. What I am getting at is the fact that some fishery owners don't really give a stuff about the fish as long as they bring in the dosh! Surly anyone with a conscience would not fish these waters if the cared about the fish in them?
As a matter of interest, in an aquarium, one inch of fish need 2 cubic litres of water!
What are your opinions on this guys?
