Fram raised or not farm raised!
I have read a that certain young bass have the out of sequence stripes because of the genetic abnormalities caused by the many years of PCB infusion into the adult fish. One person that spoke of this was Bob Pond. The uneven stripes was thought to be "possibly" the fishes body change to the PCB's. That being said, I find it hard to believe that the size of the fish in the picture, in the Globe Magazine, is the size fish that would turn a profit for a fish farmer. Farm raised farm do not have brilliant stripes or coloring I thought. The overall coloring is faded. A 12" fish just isn't profitable for anyone but a poacher.
