Talk:Halibut

Farmed Halibut
There are now some halibut farming businesses in Scotland. I ate some yesterday and it was delicious. But I would like to know more about the pros and cons, including and unbiased ecological appraisal. See for example: - http://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2013/may/22/farmed-gigha-halibut-chefs-environment Okan 20:56, 12 November 2015 (UTC)


 * Wow, had no idea that was a thing. This is something the article should discuss, as well as more information in general about Atlantic halibut. Seems like a lot of this article is about Pacifc halibut, possibly because it is still actively fished and relatively plentiful. Beeblebrox (talk) 01:40, 13 November 2015 (UTC)

Hi Beeble, like you, I was rather confused. It turns out there are no less than four Articles already, on halibut! There are good scientific papers on the web, about farming Atlantic Halibut. A few of these could be abstracted and cited, but I shall not do any more work on this fishy subject for a few weeks - see if folks accept the rather quick and ad hoc changes that I have already made.

As a person randomly visiting this article...
... there's too much emphasis on fished and cooked flounder in the photos, and not enough of flounder swimming in their natural habitat, like most species' articles use. It's sort of weird. Like as if you went to the article on cows, and most of the pictures were either dead cows hanging on racks or people cooking steak. -- Rei (talk) 12:39, 22 October 2019 (UTC)
 * New talk page comments go to the bottom of the page. Wikipedia adds images for articles only from those deposited in Wikimedia Commons. I just checked, and there are no images of live halibut in the Commons galleries (btw, it's not a flounder, a different species - there are pictures of live flounder in that article). I get the point about how the images convey mainly a food concept, but the overall presentation of halibut images in the article is generally consistent with similar articles. --Zefr (talk) 15:21, 22 October 2019 (UTC)
 * It's possible USFWS or another agency may have such a file if one searches, and we could use that, but failing that there's basically no way for normal people to take a picture of a fish that lives at the bottom of the ocean. Beeblebrox (talk) 05:26, 23 October 2019 (UTC)
