anymore. they just had enough, pamela. and that s where it led to. you know. yeah. and you lay out the concerns and why you and the other fishermen there were already pushed to the brink. and you had some serious concerns. the russian ambassador initially said your concerns were overblown, but let s look at this map showing where these exercises had been planned to take place. 240 kilometers, or 150 miles off the southwest irish coast. your organization worried these exercises could have damaged the celtic shelf. that is an area that s vital to your industry. so what kind of damage were you worried about exactly? well, you see, there s a lot of fish coming in there, spawning. if you re sending a shock wave through babies, baby fish, you re damage k the embryos inside them. and even if there is a perception that is happening, our scientists would take a precautionary approach. and they normally reduce the amount of fish that we get in the following years. so even if something did or
entice fish to come back to dead coral reeves. guess what. they did. they returned. i spoke with steve simpson, a marine biologist, about the significant of this research. we discovered probably nearly 20 years ago there coral reef fish, baby fish, three or four weeks old. they can hear the their way home and make the sounds the other animals make on the reef and gives them a powerful way to spend the rest of their lives and listen in to different habitats. unfortunately, the reef we were working on two cyclones back year after year and bleaching of the waters that cooked the corals. as a result, the animals and reef died and when we went back there it was ghostly quiet and a sad season we could see how
cycle. it begins with food stock. we spawn fish in captivity in a controlled environment. we hatch the eggs, cultivate live feed in order to feed the baby fish for the first 30 days of their life. what you re seeing here is the nursery section of open blue. you re looking at about 150,000 koeb yeah here between four tanks and they re 25 days old. and they re close to one gram on average right now. my name is stan and i m the hatchery manager for open blue farm. basically after three and a half weeks in the hatchery, the fish are transferred here and will spend about the next six weeks being grown to an appropriate size where we can then transfer them to the cages offshore. my goal and i think our goal here has been to create aqua culture in a more sustainable setting. when you talk about
