you too have same problem... our case is usually overstocking while
your is the temperatures....

I don't suppose Florida is particularly used to such cold conditions. Unfortunately when you're in that type of business these problems should be expected from time to time. I think there's going to be problems over here with vegetable growers because a lot of crops have been destroyed in the last few weeks. Thankfully I suspect all the carp problems In our lakes will be perfectly okay.

Here's a video.

Wow...thats sad...feel bad for that guy and the other farmers who lost everything they had due to the cold weather.

He breaks my heart! That is so sad...

And then think of the market, what is something like this going to do to those who buy from him, and those of us who by from the store.... this could get NASTY!!!

I can see the prices going up a bit for certain fish if enough of these farms are destroyed. It sucks seeing someone who left a high paying job to do something that he loved and that his family could enjoy with him and then see it all taken away from him...hope he gets back on his feet.

interesting read thamks paul i did not know fish were breed in florida like that thigs like this have masive impact on pricing in the industry

actually, during my research on fish production, i was surprised that
SEADAFEC technology is being tested and applied in a massive scale in US
than in the Philippines. i also found out that americans consumed more tilapia
than pilipinos. and more tilapia are being raised in US than in any part of asia.
