Completely Farm-Bred Unagi, a World First

JoshuaInNippon writes "Japanese scientists at the National Research Institute of Aquaculture, Fisheries Research Agency have reported that they successfully completed an artificial cultivation cycle for unagi, or eel — a world first. Unagi is a traditional delicacy in Japan, and can commonly be found in baked form at sushi restaurants. The fish has long been caught either matured, or still young and then fattened on farms. Sadly, as a result, natural stocks of unagi have plummeted in recent years. However, the research news indicates a future method to completely farm breed the tasty creature in mass quantity. Good news for sushi lovers, Japanese businesses, and wild eel alike."

You and I both have SlashID's in the low five digits. We can pretty much get away with anything without losing geek cred.

Answer: stop eating fish. Sorry.

Because cows and pigs are any better than farmed fish?

If this is just another vegan scheme to convert us all, I swear I'll, uh, well, enjoy some bacon and make fun of you while doing it...? I got nothing.

So is *this* finally an example of something the Japanese Ministry of Agriculture is in charge of? Because I know we ruled out their authority with respect to Gundum.

There is nothing in Haggis that can't be found in a Big Mac.

Just like with the human population, the urban dwellers require high doses of meds because of the unnatural and crowded living environment, and this has resulted in some aggressive infections [].
