What I couldn't find from the index is what kind of fish the oil comes from in the capsules and I'm sure he wrote about that. But maybe not. One thing that was interesting is that farmed salmon is being fed more vegetable oil in their pellets instead of fish oil, which lowers the level of omega-3's in farmed salmon. <BR/><BR/>Welcome back.Kale for Salehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02467378353738682141noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3356966849272755180.post-23298835289321851332008-07-08T13:07:00.000-07:002008-07-08T13:07:00.000-07:00Excellent review, and I'll be checking my Library ...Excellent review, and I'll be checking my Library shelves tomorrow. Since going beef and pork free- - meat lite- - -I've been doing a few more fish items. I'll have to review this to see what I should and should not eat. <BR/><BR/>I'd be of particular interest to any information as to Fish Oil tablets, of which I take many to combat inflamation and for the Omego 3's.

Thank you. The book has several good examples and the prime one being oysters and what fabulous filters they are. There's an entire chapter on east coast oysters and the benefit they are to the ecosystem and their current status, which was not great. I selfishly hope you read this because I would love to read your review of it given that you are so close to the business. And a seafood lover of course. <BR/><BR/>green bean - This one hooked me. <BR/>(That was bad but I couldn't resist.)Kale for Salehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02467378353738682141noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3356966849272755180.post-44774781891920063832008-07-07T15:44:00.000-07:002008-07-07T15:44:00.000-07:00You definitely seem to be able to sniff out the be...You definitely seem to be able to sniff out the best reads, Katrina!

Guess I should.<BR/>My husband and his brother have an aquaculture business (my husband's hobby, while his brother is the owner). They grown clams and oysters, which is sustainable and actually cleans the water (they're filter feeders!), unlike salmon and shrimp farming. They just put the "seed" or baby clams on the bottom, cover them with screens to protect them from predators, then harvest them three years later. In our area, we're running out of wild shellfish, so farming them actually helps the wild populations to recover as well. Just wanted to get it out there that not all aquaculture is non-sustainable, and that farm raised clams and oysters are in some cases better for the environment than the wild ones.<BR/>Thanks for the review! As a seafood lover, I'm definately going to read it and pass it on to my husband and his brother.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3356966849272755180.post-15032176428581104142008-07-07T06:47:00.000-07:002008-07-07T06:47:00.000-07:00Sounds like an interesting book - thanks!Sounds like an interesting book - thanks!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15334812243182354729noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3356966849272755180.post-90874915910705744722008-07-07T04:46:00.000-07:002008-07-07T04:46:00.000-07:00Wow, that book sounds fascinating.
