I'll repeat that: Fish dine on pieces of cow.
The fish in the picture looks like he'll eat whatever he damn well pleases.

Can we put a credit card in that fish's mouth and take another picture at an angle better suited to capture its fish-cleavage?

That picture explains why WC Fields used to say \"I never drink water because fish f*ck in it.\"
It seems like it would make more sense to repopulate the oceans with fish than to farm them since farming causes problems with toxicity.
Getting anyone to do this would be quite something else.
@bohemian: Public aquariums have scientific programs that do just that. Tuna raised for release account for more than half of the tuna currently in the wild. (They have a really hard time surviving when they're young)

Frankenstein food soybeans anyone?
That fish looks like a wolf eel - but something isn't quite right about it. I see wolf eels all the time - but that one is a bit \"off\"
@Jason Goodmanson: While pulling an abalone off a rock, I looked up and there was a wolf eel less than a foot from my face. Scared the crap out of me.
@Jason Goodmanson: it's the teeth. They're usually in better condition, from what I've seen. These all look fairly broken off.

@xredgambit: Then you get beef-fed fish. If you want chicken you get beef flavored chicken: [consumerist.com]
I'm waiting for a story about someone finding the spinal cord from a salmon in their pork chop (and then everyone going ape-shit in the comments because that's normal).

There are bigger problems with some of the farmed salmon coming out of Chile than the cows they use. Mostly poor breeding practices and the fish are too close together so they have to use exotic (see illegal in the US) antibiotics which are not safe for human consumption.

But are they leaving the Horse fed Horse alone??? I love that double horsed in goodness. But I like the Horse Pepsi.
I am writing to express my concern about a recent paper which appeared with a press release 15-June-2009 titled “Farmed fish may pose risk for mad cow disease.” According to the Canadian Food Inspection Agency, this article is sorely dated and fails to recognize that Canada introduced new feed controls in 2007 that ban the use of specified risk materials (SRM) in all animal feed. SRM are the parts of cattle where BSE can be found. For more information, please refer to the following:http://www.inspection.gc.ca/english/anima/heasan/disemala/bseesb/enhren/publie.shtmlhttp://www.inspection.gc.ca/english/anima/feebet/rumin/enhqueste.shtmlhttp://www.inspection.gc.ca/english/corpaffr/newcom/2007/20070712e.shtmlOur salmon farm feed companies do not use any SRM products in their feeds. As well, the idea the BSE could be transmitted by fish is acknowledged by the authors as highly speculative. There is absolutely no evidence presented that this could occur, only wild speculation that if a lot of highly speculative criteria were met, it might be possible. In Canada this is not the case. Again, we DO NOT use any SRM materials in our feed. Mary Ellen Walling BC Salmon Farmers Association

Okay, okay, so we can't feed the downer cows to people...we'll just feed them to fish that we feed to people. Whew! Problem solved, and it hardly cost us anything!
@TechnoDestructo: The same gets done with grains (corn) that's not meant for human consumption -- it gets fed to cows that humans eat. Never mind that cows aren't designed to eat corn. They also feed cows to cows. They used to include parts from downer cows in this as well but I believe they've stopped this part of it.
