A fishy story

And to show that productivity can be raised anywhere, Kent Seatech, a fish farm near Palm Springs is now yielding about 10,000 pounds of striped bass each day. The company applies research and leading-edge knowledge – for example, by building an artificial wetland to revitalize water for tanks stocked with the hybrid breeds of fish that look and taste like salt water bass, but can live in fresh water. Researchers are now also sampling the DNA of the best fish for future selective breeding and developing fish vaccines to avoid using antibiotics.
