Japanese Creating "Super Tuna"

motherpusbucket writes "The Telegraph reports that Japanese scientists hope to be breeding a so-called 'Super Tuna' within the next decade or so. They have about 60% of the genome mapped and expect to finish it in the next couple months. The new breed will grow faster, taste good, have resistance to disease and will totally kick your ass if you cross them."

    My grandpa told me how all through Long Beach harbors down to San Diego harbors was dredged to remove the kelp forest that took thousands of years to grow. With it removed, 400lb minimum-sized tuna lost habitat where they would mostly haunt from 100 yards off the surf to 5 miles out. Tuna once were plentiful, and then the NETTERS arrived. With hand-fishing, it'd take higher quality equipment of a modified winch from Penn Reals and a Fenwick Rod with not-less than 200-yards of 80lb-test line to pull in the largest in a 1.5 hour battle. None can convice me that hand-fishing caught-out all the fish. It was the NETTERS. The same NETTERS that were caught over in King's Canyon National Park that NETTED all the native trout. They are all the slant-eyed bastards that enjoy the writhing agony of little animals in their stomach acids.

    Of all the races of man ever to be discussed in the Holy Bible and even Nostradamus, there is only one that says to never trust: the yellow man.
