Hi Mika,
Keep in mind the Japanese farm is probably talking about Blue Fin tuna, which have different feed consumption requirements than Big Eye. We expect to grow our Ahi to 100 pounds and are estimated the need for two pounds of feed for every pound of growth. Our current feed cost estimate is forty cents per pound, however we are looking to source our feed locally, which could change this equation.

We missed you at the 2009 Holiday Science & Tech Fair, at the Japanese Cultural Center last Tuesday!! Where were you and Dan? I had a GREAT time and made a lot of leads -- I was even interviewed for a potential position with OceanIt Laboratories!! :) WOW! I'm so excited!

Maybe we can meet up next time at another event.
