Here Fishy Fishy Fishy

I got a tour of the Barker Fish Farm yesterday and it was SO cool! I felt like a little kid on a field trip. It was fascinating to see him gather the eggs, process them, and to see the result in all of his tanks. Fish farmers now have to sterilize their fish, to do so they take the eggs they have collected and stick them in a hollow tube. Pressure equal to two full size cars is then applied to the eggs changing their chromosomes so that they are trisometric=can not breed. He said the containers in the top right picture contain about 50,000 of these eggs each, so can kind of see them in the clear containers, but the black ones have them too. If you ever have the opportunity to have a tour of a fish farm, I highly recommend it.
