If I'm not wrong Tropical Marine Science Institute on St. John Island might be providing the fish fry.

Sponsor eaquarist Posted September 3, 2004 Sponsor Share Posted September 3, 2004 Can anybody help by telling me specifically how to get to "Tropical Marine Science Institute on St. John Island."? Hi folks, looks like we have some keen interest here on research and even food fish, fast fish like promfets require highly oxygenated water and space to swim and can be difficult sometimes. Well, for those interested in visiting the facilities at Tropical Marine Science Institute (St John's), PM your particulars to us at E Aquarists' Place. We can arrange a private tour for you! Just been there a couple of months back, some interesting research on reef reproduction going on.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
