Fish Farming in Condo Basements

While I’m fascinated by the idea of farming fish in the basements of condos, I’m not entirely convinced this is better for the environment. An Israeli scientist has come up with a way for people to farm fish in confined spaces, eliminating some of the dangers of heavy metals in fish and avoiding over-fishing. I’m not entirely convinced this is a better approach, especially considering the engineered relationship between microbes eating the fish waste. An additional “advantage” is methane gas production used for biofuel – somehow creating more methane isn’t exactly what most environmentalists tend to be after. There’s currently a live demo in Baltimore, with hope of funding in the near future. Watch the video and read more about farming fish in your basement.
