Cattle ranchers in the west are subsidized by cheap grazing on public lands that doesn't come anywhere close to covering the costs of the
environmental degradation inflicted by their cattle.

I'd Take the Triggerfish
Since that was brought up.
When I was first introduced to Triggerfish, the comment was made that "a lot of people don't like them because they have a distinct taste".
I always liked them. They were plentiful, would bite on anything and were fun to catch.
Tough to clean, though. Since they were so plentiful, we used to take a friend's suggestion and just cut a square steak out of each side and feed the
rest to the birds. Recycling, so to speak.

Should have left them in the aquarium where they belong.
 Oreochromis mossambicus is native to the entire east coast of Africa which is
salt water.
The species was introduced to the U.S. by the aquarium and aquacultures trades and were released either accidentally or intentionally into waterways
of Texas, Florida and Alabama (Brown 1961, Courtney et al. 1974, Bruton and Bolt 1975, Whiteside 1975, Lee et al. 1980). Riedel and Costa-Pierce
(2005), describe the existence of a large southern California population of O. mossambicus within the Salton Sea and known locally as Salton Sea
tilapia.
Oreochromis niloticus, commonly known as Nile tilapia, has been deliberately or accidentally introduced to the wild in many different parts of the
world and can to be found on all continents except Antarctica. When farming tilapia it is important to prevent escapes and adhere to local
regulations, because the adaptable and productive Nile tilapia can easily turn into a problematic invasive species

what I read said the minimum survivability temp was 11 - 12 degrees C and 11C = 51.8F

preventing Escapes
Right ! Easier said than done.
As I said, The CVCWD "Guaranteed" that those critters would never escape from the Canal.
Which they did. Almost Immediately.
Something to remember (again) WHENEVER Government agencies "Guarantee" anything.
Like Health Care, for instance.
OR, Homeland Security.

Ceviche, Sushi and Such
THAT subject reminds me of a guy I knew in Baja once who would allow his fish to "cook" (without heat) in Lemon Juice.
It didn't matter WHAT the Fish was since it all tasted like Lemon when he finished.

Good point, Jesse. It is, after-all, just a rather tasteless white fish. Which sort of reminds me of my ex-in-laws, now that I think about it.

Ceviche is a terrible waste of quality fish. Will take my fish cooked(fried, broiled, smoked etc.), not soaked in lime, vinegar, onions, salt, garlic
and whatever else can be tossed in to make raw fish tase good.

Dittos to Ceviche AND Sushi
I once helped out some Mexicans with their "Dead" truck south of San Felipe in mid-July. They showed their appreciation by insisting we come by their
restaurant after following them into town where they showered us with serving after serving of Ceviche (and Superior). The MOST (and LAST) I've ever
eaten. The wife loves it, though. Every party we go to where there is some, she wolfs it down.
Sushi can be added to my list of "Things you do to get Laid".
I dated a (co-worker) girl at GTE with that goal in mind and her favorite restaurant was a Sushi spot in Palm Springs SO, of course, we went there.
As I poked at the mess of Raw Fish with Tasteless White Rice and she happily chattered over how great it was, I wondered IF it was worth it all.
It WAS (eventually), but I'm not sure that any other reason would have made the meal worthwhile.

Got sick from eating a batch of ceviche once. Not sure whether it was scombroid or ciguatera poisoning, but it was bad. Will take my fish cooked with
heat, not soaked in lime juice.

Ciguatoxin is very heat tolerant and is not destroyed by cooking, likewise scombrotoxic fish poisoning is not eliminated by cooking. The main danger
of eating raw fish is parasites.
