Quote:Yes, but they are still for sale aren't they? It so rewarding debating you FD. I thought everyone knew about mercury contamination in these top of the food chain fish (you can also add sharks).
Sure, there is mercury in everything, and it accumulates up the food chain, but it takes a bit more than that to claim they are more toxic than fish from Sydney Harbour. That's a pretty high level of toxicity we are talking about.
Quote:Yes but before you said any seafood from Sydney Harbour was unfit and no sane person wuold eat them.
I wouldn't eat it. You'd have to have a few screws loose to eat it from west of the bridge.
Quote:So whats your point? These shows are entertainment - not scientific.
Perhaps the toxicity and sewage problems are more common knowledge in the area. I think it's only fair to warn people that the fish is not fit for human consumption.
Quote:It's diliute, moron.
What's the difference between dilute, watered down, and spread out? BTW, you said diffuse before. Do you know what that means?
Quote:It doesn't feed the bream, it may boost the bottom of the food chain, along with the urban runoff.
Bream love raw human feces. A mate of mine once jumped in at tangalooma to take a dump. We had been trying to catch the bream for a while - no luck. Yet they pretty much snout raped him trying to get to it before it had even come out. Needless to say, we didn't bother trying to catch the fish there. It was worse than Sydney Harbour after a light shower.
Quote:They don't stir it around, they flush it out.
And back in again. Then out again. And so on. Like a mixmaster. A mixmaster of poo. Of course, most of it would get eaten by the bream before the first flush. I mean tide. Ironic that you use the term flush in the context of Sydney Harbour. Now I am starting to use flush in reference to the tides there.
Quote:Don't you know people swim in the Harbour. The EPA says that it is perfectly safe except under times after heavy rainfall ie high runoff.
Because of all the poo?
Do you wash your boat down after putting it in the harbour?
