clarias catfish would love a system like that, especially if they could reach the fish dangling from the other conveyor

Would this work? Instead of keeping the fish in hundreds of gallons water, what about instead using aeroponics on the fish? You could suspend them from a conveyor and squirt their gills with a nozzle as they floated past every so often? |

My marine biologist friend in Florida thought of that idea (then spent minutes chuckling to himself). |

Sounds like a terrible existence, but it would limit unwanted spawnings. |

It _might_ limit unwarranted spawnings. |

What about genetically engineering fish so that the gills are actually in a protective sac containing the water - then they could survive without being in water for their whole life! |

I hope this is a joke....feeding would be incredibly labour intensive, probably by hand, one pellet at a time, because unlike plants fish dont get their food from the water (but hey i think we all know that) |

Sorry Steve.... I thought the ferris wheel was for washing the veges when it went round..... Can't use that idea for the fish anyway.... it's been patented ....

It sounds like a more practicall idea for yabbies as i think they can breathe out of water they just can't breed. |
