to collect all of the water which had the pig waste and so the pond was created to clean the water and tilapia were brought in to convert the waste into EPA acceptable water        The management group had a young man (A SON OF ONE OF THE OWNERS) who had kept up with the current tilapia literature and knew that it was possible that the tilapia COULD help by consuming  algae blooming in the warm  pond water (kept warm at about 85 degrees f by mixing water from their hot spring with the run off water from the pig growing operation)       A decision was made to build several pond that were 100 feet long and 20 feet wide  They were dug near the hog raising boxcars and the effluent was plumbed to go into the ponds and warm water which would fuel the algae growth in the ponds  The tilaia would eat the algae and the water s  would be hopefully reach EPA emission standards       The ponds were dug in what turned out to be beautiful crystal white sand  The tiapia which were a cross between tilapia nilotica and tilapia Aurea were stocked and were soon breeding and producing thousands and thousands of gray tilapia  So began the creation of the Rocky mountain white strain     It seems that even though the pond were located a mile or so above sea level predatory birds soon found their way to the ponds and began to feast on the thousands of small tilapia that were in the pond  The birds were quite good at picking out the gray tilapia against the crystal white sand and after a year or two a new example of directed evolution was made    The tilapia all have the ability to exhibit melanin in the chromatophores located in the dermal layer (SKIN)  can be selected through evolution  The birds can see a gray fish against the crystalline white but not as well if the skin is a lighter color   So since the light color or white tilapia were able to avoid being eaten by the hungry birds only by becoming invisible against the white sand and very fast movement     After several years The average color of all of the fish became closer and closer to white until most of the fish exhibited a white appearance and The Rocky Mountain White was now a solid new gene lineTHIS IS AN HYBRID TILAPIA (PENNYFISH)  IT IS PRODUCED BY BREEDING THE FEMALE T MOSSAMBICA TILAPIA (from mossambique) WITH THE MALE T HORONORUM (from zanzibar)  THE HYBRID penntfish WERE up to 100 MALE AND THIS ONE IS ONE KILOGRAM AND REACHED A KILOGRAM IN 8 MONTHS IN 80 DEGREE WATER  THESE HYBRIDS PRODUCED 44 SKINLESS BONELESS FILLETS WHICH IS A WONDER FULL INCREASE COMPARED WITH THE FIRST HYBRIDS PRODUCED FROM THE FIRST BREEDERS I WORKED WITH THE FIRST YEAR WHICH WAS ONLY 25 SKINLESS BONELESS FILLET YIELD WHAT THIS MEANS IS THAT THE NEW PENNYFISH PRODUCED TWO AN A HALF POUNDS FROM TEN POUNDS OF WHOLE HYBRIDS WHEREAS THE NEW PENNYFISH HYBRID PRODUCES 44 POUNDS OF SKINLESS BONELESS FILLETS FOR EVERY TEN POUNDS OF WHOLE FISH HARVESTED  THIS IS BETTER THAN A 50 INCREASE IN YIELD DUE TO THE

HYBRID PENNYFISH NOW PRODUCE  50 OR MORE SKINLESS BONELESS FILLETSWHAT THIS SHOULD MEAN TO FARMERS: WHEN 1000 POUNDS OF FISH ARE BRED FED AND CARED FOR THE AMOUNT OF FILLET OBTAINED FROM THOSE  1000

                <media:description>This tilapia strain was created on a plateau in Colorado where the Wisebergs were raising hogs in railway boxcars that were parked on the plateau and we using hot water from a geothermal hot spring to supply the energy needed to keep the box cars warm in the cold environment  The hot water needed to be run through the boxcars and when it left it needed a pond to collect all of the water which had the pig waste and so the pond was created to clean the water and tilapia were brought in to convert the waste into EPA acceptable water        The management
