The value of a fish in waterconsider the example of reef fish in the Gulf of mexico.
Under the scheme fishermen were assigned individual tradable quotas or shares of the fish stock which created a market for the fish as a capital asset.
The Gulf's reef fish contributed more than $256 million to U s. national wealth in 2004--and three times that after management reforms.
The ability to treat fish in the water as a capital asset encouraged fishermen to preserve the natural resource in turn enhancing sustainable fishing practices that led to higher returns.
The researchers hope to apply the method to measure the value of all U s. fish stocks as well as other natural assets like groundwater and forests.

#Fish tacos: A nutritional lunchrob Handler harvested his research but it wasn't the usual kale onions
It was the key ingredient for fish tacos which were served then at a residence hall on campus. We were growing tilapia Handler said.
They are a hardy fish that grows well in a controlled environment. They were also the key ingredient in his aquaponics project where fish waste fertilized the plants
and plants kept fish healthy by cleaning their water. It's the same interaction that happens in the natural world said Handler operations a senior research engineer at Michigan Tech.
We just managed things with tanks and pipes. Once the aquaponics project was completed the tilapia were turned over to Michigan Tech Dining Services and wound up on the lunch tables at Wadsworth Hall.
The fish tacos were a resounding success combined with coleslaw made of carrots and cabbage from the residence hall's organic garden.

Sometime this summer or soon after, the federal Food and Drug Administration may finally approve the first-ever genetically modified animal for human consumption--a fast-growing Atlantic salmon that has taken 17 years to reach the threshold of American consensus. The man to thank

Whether it's this fish or some other animal, it has to do this, or it risks America losing its biotechnology edge to countries like China.
that this genetically engineered fish might cause unique allergic reactions in humans; that it might escape
and mix with wild salmon and ultimately out breed and out eat them; and that the fast-growing broods could flood the market
and cripple the wild salmon fishing industry in coastal states like Alaska, Oregon and Washington.
Even though the FDA concluded three years ago that the fish posed no threat in the wild or to humans,

China is already working on a growth hormone for farmed fish. Creating the Frankenfish The Aquadvantage salmon is a voracious over-eater
like a cow with fins. It carries two bits of foreign DNA: a growth hormone from a Chinook salmon and a genetic switch from an eellike fish, called an ocean pout,
that trips this gorge-and-grow gene. It matures twice as fast as Atlantic salmon, can grow year round,
and can survive in frigid waters. Critics have dubbed it Frankenfish. Politicians from Alaska, Oregon and Washington, who feel their wild salmon fisheries would be threatened by this new breed,
have been particularly harsh in their condemnation and have tried vigorously to block the FDA from approving the fish.
Lisa Murkowski, a Republican senator from Alaska, has lead the fight saying that approving the fish is messing with Mother Nature in a very serious and big way.
Producing this transgenic fish indeed sounds freakish. In addition to gene splicing, Aquabounty produces only what are known as triploid eggs,

Last November, salmon overtook shrimp as the second most consumed seafood in the United states, just behind tuna.
says its salmon could help meet demand and boost productivity in the $100 billion commercial aquaculture industry, the fastest growing segment of the worldwide food industry.
These salmon are 20 percent more efficient than other salmon. How should food be labeled? Even if the FDA approves the fish,
as many expect it will, there's a secondary battle looming: how to label it. Aquabounty says it simply should be called Atlantic salmon,
because that's what breed it is. But consumer advocates and the wild salmon industry want it labeled genetically modified.
They want to let consumers know what they are eating and protect the business interests of wild salmon farmers,
who claim their product is superior to any farm-raised fish. Such a label would actually bestow a premium on wild salmon for consumers who look for natural food items
and are willing to pay more for it. In June, at the urging of Murkowski and others
a Senate committee narrowly agreed to add language to a spending bill to require that genetically modified salmon be labeled.
The amendment now faces an uncertain battle on the senate floor in the coming weeks.
