Great Tom. Hammer those guys on where their pelletized feed is coming from. Chances are it comes from hoovering up the marine food chain - sardines, herring, anchovies, mackerel, capelin, etc. All foods fit for direct human consumption. (Why fatten carnivores with it?) Or more importantly, direct whale/seabird/dolphin/etc consumption, of course.

The case is the same for most aquacultured critters, unless it's tilapia or shellfish on the menu.
