WHAT IS INTEGRATED LIVESTOCK-FISH FARMING?

It is a ‘technique’ in which faeces of pigs, ducks and chickens are fed to fish in fish farms. According to the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organisation this would help in providing protein for the mushrooming populations in developing countries. This bringing together of fish farms and farm livestock may be the cause of Bird Flu and other influenza pandemics. Well there you are: the 21st Century human has progressed so much that he eats animal faeces!

 

THE HAUNTING EYES OF FISH

Ever wondered at the way the eyes of slaughtered fish look?

When a fish is hauled out of the water, the internal pressure often ruptures their swim bladder, pops out their eyes and pushes their oesophagus and stomach through their mouth.
