nonvegetable plankton might swim away from electric fields or towards light, having such an apparatus next to a filter would preferentially filer out vegetarian plankton, providing food.
a pump, a filter, and some lights could produce huge amounts of ethical food.

Ah, now there's a clue to behavioral motivation. |
|
|
Why is it more "ethical" to eat an alga than, say, a
juvenile crab? |
|
|
Or a juvenile delinquent ? |
|
|
The people who advocate these ideas are usually not those who have tried eating the contents of the experiment. From what I remember from Kon Tiki, the contents of the plankton net were viewed as good by two people, meh by two more, and abhorrent by the other two. |
|
|
Granted, there was unethical food in the mix, and no lights, pump or "filer" involved. |
|
|
I thatk a filer would have helped. A lot of those little
critters have got spates and spikes, which a good
filer
might have removed. Fiddly work, though. |
|
|
Is there enough file in the plankton gumbo? |
|
|
How do we know it isn't the unethical bits that make it
taste bad? Or good? |
|
|
I believe they do both. Many kinds of roe or tiny young critters taste good, but the Kon Tiki crew said a jellyfish in the batch would ruin a bite. |
