		<description>That's just plain cruel! I twisted the Passion Quilt meme just to make it look like I participated while achieving my own aim of trying to educate others more about Flickr, creative commons licenses and geotagging.  

Well I hope your satisfied the closest book is on Aquaculture and this is what it says:
"Unfortunately , there is no simple genetic formula or recipe that an aquaculturist can follow to enable the best management of the population's genes.  The programme that a farmer or hatchery manager needs is determined by his or her own specific goals:
Some farmers may want to improve productivity by selecting for larger or heavier animals."

Now I'm going to have to read the entire chapter since that last sentence is incredibly bad and really misguiding -- the most common cause of inbreeding and decreased productivity is because farmers don't know enough about genetics and end up selecting the largest or heavier animals without taking into account the animals history.  Often these animals are the small guys they keep chucking back - so they end up selecting the slow growers.  

See there is so much to farming fish :)</description>

		<description>This is funny - I saw the same meme passed to my wife except that it required the posting of 5 sentences (which for her book was almost a full page - George Elliot has a thing for compound sentences).</description>

		<description>Here is mine, which I kinda liked:

&lt;blockquote&gt;My frat brothers approved the idea but insisted that at Tolson's poetry reading all Omegas would have to wear tuxedos to set them apart from and above all others.  Reluctantly, I agreed. &lt;/blockquote&gt;

There is a huge hint in there to give away the subject, if not the book itself,.  I do love the tension in this passage, and the idea of moving ahead with what others "approve" reluctantly.  It reverberates widely.  I think I am going to kill my part of the meme in your comments, but don't for a second think it's because your not so cool, because you are and you know it!</description>

		<description>Right on! I love the rationale for not choosing a book more than I do the actual lines from the book in most cases. Thanks for indulging me. :-)</description>
