Going through photographs, I came across the following specimens which I figured I’d post here. Over ten years ago I was privileged with a trip to the Philippines, and one of our hosts (a wonderful, kind-hearted man) drove us to some beautiful scenery. One of our stops was the Taal Volcano, and the following pics were snapped there.
The view was fantastic, except for the black splotches in the lake. When asked what they were, the reply was holding pens. This, and other such locations, are where our ‘farm-raised’ fish come from.
The point-n-shoot camera didn’t capture the full effect, as the waste trails were visible down-current of many more pens.
Hopefully, better practices have been implemented since then.
