I'm very interested about the utilization of janitor fish. And i'm wondering if it's really possible that it can be used as a water purifier? can you share me some information regarding this?<br /><br />here's my e-mail address: nuescakatherine@yahoo.com<br /><br />thank you everyone :))simply me :)https://www.blogger.com/profile/02857260855161957743noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7529560774624974980.post-33511269485744193632010-01-18T19:16:42.539+08:002010-01-18T19:16:42.539+08:00Genial fill someone in on and this post helped me ...Genial fill someone in on and this post helped me alot in my college assignement.

In the Agusan Marsh (one of the most ecologically significant wetland ecosystems in the Philippines that is currently infested with janitor fish),they were found to contain heavy metals on their skin/in the flesh (data is available at the BFAR 13 Fish Health Office), particularly, mercury, a chemical that is detrimental to both humans and lower forms of life. This is the reason why we are not considering feed conversion in the management scheme. I think, the best way to eliminate the fish is to convert it to other useful goods other than feeds. Also, we are finding ways to eliminate them based on the perspectives of capture fisheries, habitat studies (burrowing holes/behavior) and feeding behavior. <BR/><BR/>M.

By the way, as feeds, maybe we can do the same process and strip the ugly fish of its non edible parts and grind the rest and convert it to feeds. -- just wondering!jc smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14416164709039335928noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7529560774624974980.post-45237168697013596072007-11-25T18:43:00.000+08:002007-11-25T18:43:00.000+08:00Janitor fish was found to contain heavy metals... ...Janitor fish was found to contain heavy metals... so it may not be safe to be eaten by animals or humans! by biomagnification, if it is used as feeds, it will just end up in humans. Most of the heavy metals are found in non-edible parts of the fishes, most likely same is true with Janitor fish-- so maybe if we really are hungry, we can eat the edible part (which is the flesh?) of this ugly fish-- but definitely not as feeds--Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
