The two fish farms that used the feed kept their fish off the market until the tests could be completed. Because those fish are small and the feed has been recalled, Acheson said the FDA believes there no longer is any public health concern from them. Since the problem was discovered, 46 shipments of protein concentrate from China have been detained and are being held until the companies that produced them can prove the material is free of melamine, Acheson said. In the longer term, he...

Because fish breathe by filtering water through their gills, the fish were smothered when the manure didn't soak into the ground and instead washed into the stream. MERCERSBURG - A line of thunderstorms Thursday evening that brought flooding rains and hail to parts of Franklin County also decimated the fish population of Johnston Run when downpours washed manure into the waterway. Those plans must be approved by DEP or by a farm's county conservation district and dictate how much manure...

So far, however, neither SalmonChile the countrys private salmon farmers association nor corresponding government bodies have come forward with any exact figures. Together the farms may have housed as many as 14 million fish, Oceana (citing an unofficial source in Congress) revealed in recent press release. As if the violent shaking wasnt bad enough, the 30-second quake also caused major landslides around the fjord, producing in turn a horrifying mini-tsunami. In other words, it takes fish...

EU ministers have been disagreeing over ways to replenish stocks of red tuna and eels, with the two major fishing nations affected, France and Spain, resisting measures they consider too restrictive. Scientific reports prepared for the Commission in 2005 said eel stocks had become perilously low and commercial eel fishing could end in the EU by 2015. Last year French fishermen from the port of Marseille clashed with activists of the Greenpeace environmental group, which fears the...

SFGate Home Business Sports Entertainment Travel Classifieds Jobs Real Estate Cars SFGate Web by Tuna in a can deserves respect. There was a bit too much attitude going on in that room for a place that served tuna melts, so I finished my drink, bought a can or two of tuna, and went home to spend time with my old pal. I thought about how I seldom eat tuna melts these days, as I eat my way through far-flung places that offer up dishes I have never tasted before, new flavor concoctions that...

May 16--COLUMBUS -- Ohio could snag the licenses of commercial fisherman who land more fish than their quota allows under a bill unanimously passed by the Senate yesterday. Hailed by supporters as a victory for the ecological balance of Lake Erie and the sport-fishing industry, the bill authorizes the state to yank the commercial fishing licenses of those who have been convicted of felonies and creates a three-strikes-and-out system for those convicted of first-degree misdemeanors. Hailed...

Hysmith said the lucky angler, Chad Richardson, proved a couple of points shared by largemouth bass fishing aficionados: Number one, small reservoirs and ponds produce big bass and number two, when fishing a new reservoir for the first time, if it has rock rip rap around bridges or on the dam fish these areas first.

Question: Tuna fish salad sandwiches used to taste very good, when one used oil-packed tuna and Hellman's mayo. Maybe the things haven't really changed that much, although with mass production, and even mass agriculture, things indeed have undergone some inevitable metamorphoses. Have you any suggestions or recipe for water-packed tuna salad with low-fat mayo? I'd be very appreciative and so would my husband who has adapted to no-salt without a murmur. What with low- or no-fat mayo and...
