Following is an inquiry from our friend Richard Ying Ji who has left the
list for a short time to travel to China. Does anyone have information that
might help him? I'll be forwarding any responses to him. Paula

Thanks for the info Sam. That's exactly what I needed to know. Do you know if
Denis can be raised in brackish water? BTW, where is "here"?
These species as well as tilapia are being considered for a prototype
aquaculture system using brackish groundwater. I'm trying to determine if
aquaponics would be feasible.

Adriana,
I found the watercress that I wanted at the store and rooted it in the
aquaponic section of the greenhouse. I was overrun in a few weeks. Mustard
greens would grow the same way.
My Thai basil I took home after an especially tasty meal. True,I don't know
the type but they have passed the taste test:}

Does anyone know if Zebra mussels are the creatures that have done so much
damage in the Great Lakes? If so , they where carried through the St.
Lawrence seaway and locks on the hulls of and in the ballast water of cargo
ships. They found a nice envoronment to grow and no natural predators. They
have caused huge amounts of damage environmentally and economically to
communites along the shore. If these are the same pesky creatures, it would
warrent checking into how the seed spreads and how to safely contain them.
Anyone know anything about this?

I was hoping someone could tell me who is buying live Tilapia in the
Philadelphia/Baltimore/Washington D.C metropolitan area.
Thank you

Hi,
In north Africa such as in Egypt, people use word Denis to call the sea
bream fish. It is usually a slat water fish.
Thanks
Mohamed

Hi
Buri and Denis names are used in Egypt
Buri is the Grey mullet(Mugil auratus) , striped mullet (Mugil cephalus)
It is a salt water fish, but can grow very well in fresh water, but it will
not re-produce in the fresh water. It lives in the bottom , and can eat
other fish wast. It has long shap. Very sensitive for handling.
I culture buri in fresh water earth pond in Egypt. and It does not need a
lot of experiance.
Denis is the Sea bream (S. aurata)
It is a salt water fish. It is a high priced species in North Africa.
Most of its yield comes from the sea fishing.
A lot of farm failed to culture denis economically because
- The competion with the open sea wild yield
- High cost of its required high protien diet.
Thanks
