Why bodybuilding fish could meet the world's growing hunger for seafood. Researchers find that a simple exercise regime can help fish grow much faster and be more tolerant to disease.
Next you're going to tell me that chickens given the freedom to run around makes them healthier too?

Not that body builders don't do cardio, they do, but the fish are swimming. The fish equivalent of jogging.

"Seems shitty"
Wait till some bright lad gets the idea of electroshock gizmos to "encourage" their efforts. Hey, it'd add muscle even faster, right?

Turning fish ponds and tanks into river simulators... wouldn't that be energy intensive? I'm imagining millions of generators pumping water for these fish gyms...

I wonder if Douglas Adams ever heard about Al Capp's "Li'l Abner" Shmoos.
[snip]
Shmoos are delicious to eat, and are eager to be eaten. If a human looks at one hungrily, it will happily immolate itself—either by jumping into a frying pan, after which they taste like chicken, or on a grill, after which they taste like steak. When roasted they taste like pork, and when baked they taste like catfish. Raw, they taste like oysters on the half-shell.

In the same way that bodybuilding geese met the world's growing hunger for foie gras?
