My point is, if there is a (partly, at least) farmed source (oysters) for an element (calcium), why choose a questionable wildstock-only fishery of any form? Ex situ conservation via rearing of box turtles by hobbyists is not a reality when this is the opportunity cost. I hope you can understand this.
And for Ken, neat article. Good to know we're relying on species not yet recognized by science in such bulk for, uh, "tasty" food. I guess that answers that about how well-assessed any impacts on cuttlefish stocks are. How many of those animals' bones does it take to fill a 5 pound box?
