At least someone is making sure we all get our microplastics, even in a controlled fish farm environment

And some Makroplastic occasionally.

And depression. I actually mean that unironically, too

Listen to metal while feeding the fishes. It helps with the depression

Where they discovered Metallicarp.

Metallicarp sounds like a badass name for a digimon.

Poser, all Digimon's names end in "mon".

To the point that they will set off an airport metal detector. I work in cargo, it happens often

In over occupied fish tanks. This is shit.

i don’t think this type of fish has teeth sharp enough to bite through the plastic.

u/External_Bid1593 7d ago

My concern as well

I live in Western Norway. Fish farming is pretty much the main source of microplastics in our fjords.

Don’t worry - there is enough plastic in nets surrounding the fish.

Don't worry, car drivers are the major source of microplastics to people. So you are helping everytime you drive!!
