- metal_am 3y agoTuna can’t pump water over their gills. They can never stop swimming
- ravenstine 3y agoSeems like an opportunity for CRISPR to make tunas that are farmable.
- haltist 3y ago[flagged]
- anovikov 3y agoMost prized variety - the bluefin tuna - is now widely farmed already (although farmed one still makes a very small proportion of tuna consumed). But it's possible and is already viable commercially.
