A good start to the New Year
I sat down today and managed to complete the rest of my Open University coursework for the 'Life in the Oceans' short course. The section on fish farming turned out to be a lot easier than I expected.
I'm pleased to have that out of the way on the first day of the new year.
For those who are interested, it makes much better environmental sense to farm herbivorous species like carp then carnivores like tuna and salmon. The wild fish that have to be cauught to feed them would provide five times as much protein if eaten directly.
Now, I have to decide if I'm going to do another course. I'm currently looking at several options ranging from A-level chemistry to Open University oceanography. Or possibly nothing at all, if the tax bill turns out too high and the car needs replacing...
I enjoy study - it keeps the mind agile.
