More sections of the Gulf of Mexico are being opened to fishing as intense testing finds few hazards in samples checked so far. A chemist at a NOAA testing lab explains the process. One of the 1st tests they carry out is a smell test! Now what this tells the so-called experts i dont know, but then they go on to claim that the amount of crude oil found in the fish is below the recommended level!! So are we now to believe that there is a safe level of crude oil to be eating? This is just ridiculous, and whats worse is they are treating us like morons.

PUMPKINSEED SUNFISH (Lepomis gibbosus) The pumpkinseed is the most widely distributed and abundant sunfish in New York, occurring throughout the state including Long Island. They seem to prefer weedy, warmwater lakes and ponds, using weed patches, docks, and logs for cover and usually staying close to shore. They are present in the calm pools of most rivers. The average pumpkinseed is about 5 to 6 inches in length, although some may approach 10 inches. Pumpkinseeds bite voraciously on nearly any type of natural bait, providing it is small, and on a variety of small artificial lures; flies are especially effective. Their wide distribution, abundance, unhesitating tendency to bite on worms, and close proximity to shore have made them a favorite among youngsters. They make fine eating, but their small size limits their potential as sport fish. BALA SHARK, SILVER SHARK Also known as the Silver Shark, the Bala Shark is a growing favorite among tropical fish hobbyists. This tropical fish isn’t a shark at all though. It belongs in the Cyprinidae family. They are named sharks because of their appearance and the shape of their dorsal fin. These “sharks” require large tanks because of their potential adult size of 13 inches. They are mostly peaceful but may eat smaller fish such as neon tetras when they reach a large enough size. Also, be warned that Balas (Silver Sharks) are excellent jumpers. Have a hood on your aquarium to prevent your Silver Shark from leaping to its death …
