Neat article about the search for the best fish to farm - and it appears that barramundi is the leader in the clubhouse. I didn't know that they can make their own omega-3 fatty acids.

"And, unlike most fish, which only obtain omega-3s from the plankton and algae — or other fish — that they eat, barramundi can actually synthesize them on their own. “They spend a lot of their early life cycle in freshwater, so they’re not exposed to the long-chain fatty acids,” explains Goldman. “They actually develop the ability to build omega-3s without necessarily having to consume them.”
So maybe they can take some pressure off the menhaden.
Miracle fish: Is the search for the perfect farmed seafood really over?
So now I want to try some.
