--pollution/fish content correlation( fish-hatcheries and benefits)--

   a recent film, about salmon fishing in the far reaches of the world( Yemen), raised these thoughts about fish, and their potential roles in pollution clean-up efforts...

   also of note, i believe salmon, and trout, could be a good way to eliminate troubles from piranha fish in fresh water...as both salmon, and trout, will go to the competing fish's nest( the piranha's), and fan the eggs with their tails, in order to detach them, from the safe area they are intended to hatch, if no new piranha are created, there will soon be no piranha in the area( trout and salmon are tough, yet clever, fish)--

   fish...i see the gills of each fish, as a small "britta" water filter, each fish filtering the small impurities of the lake or stream's waters, through their gills, and absorbing them in their bodies, this leads me to believe, our fore-fathers many have kept fish-hatcheries for more reasons than "sport-fishing", or food, but also to keep their lakes and streams healthy, and viable for future generations...

lake erie--

     for instance, stocking lake erie, with a great number of fish, each year, might bring the levels of pollution to a very minute level, quite rapidly...these fish could then be routinely tested, for pollution in their tissues, to determine the state of lake erie's clean-up, as in the case of large rivers in Egypt, or Yemen, with issues of pollution from regular bathing in the river( a hazard potentially eliminated, by using a bucket, and carrying the water to be used for bathing at least 500 feet, from the river's bank, and filling a tub), or from factories, and many other polluters...i feel these issues could be rectified, very rapidly...via stocking these waters with fish, regularly( in large quantities), to restore vital water resources to these regions with polluted systems( the type of fish to be farmed in fish-hatcheries there, of a variety able to thrive, and not cause eco-system damage, would need to be carefully studied)--

   in the case of lake erie, i feel that super-stocking the lake with fish, then opening the lake to serious sport fisherman, for national contests, and the like, would be of great financial gain to the area, for both tourism, and national recognition( these fish could be "catch-and-release", until the proper sizes of each fish variety stocked, was reached)...

the point--

   each fish caught, of regulation size, could then be taken to a testing station( after a photo, and silly grin were recorded, via photograph or video), to be inspected for pollution levels, and then cremated, or properly disposed of...

summary--

   in this way, the amount of pollution remaining in the lake or stream might be gauged...i suggest, that each fish, could be viewed as a virtual "swimming kidney", or liver( with scales), absorbing all the pollutants from the water in which it lives, thus filtering it--

   in the end, once pollution levels were reduced to safe values, the fish would remain an important food-source, and continued water filtering system...
