The video taught me that humans don't like them because it is hard to remove the bones. So why not use them for animal feed and/or fertilizer? Fishing them with nets would create jobs.

It seems like you figured out how to resize your pictures. Looks much better.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the comment so that I can figure out how to do comments. Actually, I learned how to crop the pictures. I figured out that the camera takes a picture that is about 3 times larger than an X-Large picture.
