The Journal AQUACULTURE (ISSN : 0044-8486) Vol./Iss. : 179 / 1-4 has
announced a paper entitled "Alternative dietary protein sources for farmed
tilapia, Oreochromis spp." by El-Sayed , Abdel-Fattah M. pp.: 149-168. I
have not seen the paper but if someone have easy access to this journal,
please give us more information on the types of protein sources used or
suggested in this article. The email addresses of the authors are usually
provided in the paper and it would good to have them for requests for
reprints.
Thanks

Drifter Bob's Key Lime Cichlid Recipe
(from a magazine article)
Serves 2 people. Ingredients: 4 filets. 8-12 key limes. One clove of
garlic (much more if you are anything like me) A large white onion. Chives
(or green onions). Basil, Rosemary, or other herbs. Salt, pepper, and
Tabasco sauce (or, Dave's Totally Insane Habanero sauce for those cave
diving, bungy chord jumping, raw oyster eating, muy loco Texans with some
kinda death wish).
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Cut all of the limes and squeeze the juice
into a cup. Chop the onion and the chives, and cut the garlic clove into
small slivers. Place the 4 filets in a baking dish or aluminum pan, and
place slivers of garlic on them. Garnish with pieces of chopped onion and
chives, and sprinkle with salt, pepper, a few drops of Tabasco sauce per
filet, (or only 1 drop of Totally Insane sauce somewhere inside the dish or
within a 10 foot radius of the filets), and uh, the herbs, on top. Next
pour the lime juice into your baking dish, and place it uncovered into the
oven. The filets and onions should be nearly submerged in lime juice.
Allow them to broil for about 15 to 20 minutes, until the lime juice begins
to "seethe". Finally, revove the baking dish, drain all of the lime juice
out, back into your cup, and then return the dish bak to the oven for 10
more minutes, or until the filets begin to look slightly crisp and brown on
top. Remove the filets and serve with rice and a side dish of spinach,
asparagus, or green beans. The reclaimed lime juice should be used as a
sauce for both rice and fish. Enjoy!
Personal Note: These filets should be THICK- from a big fish, otherwise
reduce the lime juice amount and cooking time accordingly. You have my
permission to substitute aquaponic Pacu, Arawana, or sunfish, in lieu of the
cichlids.
Mammels, Avians, Arthropods, Annelids or other protein sources may be
substituted, but only if you insist, or, if you are Klingon- in which case
the bits about the oven and rendering the animal in question lifeless need
not come into the equation.
Which reminds me of an old joke I just made up.
"Why are Klingons always in a foul mood?"
"Hey, wouldn't YOU have a migraine if you woke up every morning with a
horseshoe crab spiked into your forehead?"
"Now get outta here, and I mean it!"
Love ya, man

Subject: Tilepia advice needed again
From: Bagelhole1
Date: Sat, 17 Jul 1999 15:42:47 EDT
Hi everyone,
I'm wondering what's best to feed tilepia, if algae
is going to form if the sun hits the water in the greenhouse and if they can
live off the algae, or I would think they would need something else initially
and to supplement. I don't have them yet, I'm still building. Also, I was
going to line the trenches with heavy plastic, now, someone has said that
fish hate plastic and it may leech toxics into the water. I'm thinking,
hoping one solar pump will be adaquate to pump the fish water thru tubes to
the plants. And I've been thinking of fish poo (lovely thoughts), is it so
heavy that it can't be squirted in the water to the plants, will I need a
biolfilter? If Any advice would appreciate it, Ron?
Thank you,
Tom O (bagelhole1)
