Rare breed here, non-mil, non-gov, non-local computer programmer in the Florida Keys. Fish stocks are declining so noticeably year after year after year. You will not be able to mark-off coordinates as a fish refuge without local multi-generational fishermen families (with more political clout than you can imagine here in not-quite-Florida) complaining and getting their way. It's quite a lost cause. And I won't purchase farm-raised fish, because I'm well aware of the PCB content of your Tilapia. I wish I knew what to tell you, except that your children won't know anything about Tuna, Ahi, or Hogfish.
- dfc 14y ago"your children won't know anything about Tuna, Ahi, or Hogfish" Ahi ⊆ Tuna : Ahi is a kind of Tuna
- sliverstorm 14y agoYou shouldn't be surprised by the confusion. I sometimes suspect it is intentional on the part of restaurants; "ahi" sounds a lot classier than "tuna", because it doesn't make you think of canned tuna.
- dfc 14y agoI understand your point. But when someone starts out their sentence with "I wish I knew what to tell you" you would like to think that they knew that Ahi, AKA yellowfin or bigeye tuna, was two species of tuna. EDIT: subspecies -> two species
- sliverstorm 14y agoI hate myself for this, but- correction- Ahi is not a subspecies. It refers to yellowfin OR bigeye.
- dfc 14y agoDon't hate yourself for teaching me something new;) thanks for the clarification. I always thought Ahi was just yellowfin.
