Dirty Jobs - Stripers

anyone see dirty jobs last night with the hybrid striper farm. not too sure I would have wanted the fact that tilapia are used to clean the water of solids (basically eat striper crap) and then be sold at the market put out like that if I were in charge of marketing tilapia and fish farming in general.

Aren't most talapia able to live in the equivilent of a septic system? I know that some waste water treatment plants use them in there fignal stages of treatment and that they thrive in drainage ponds, or anywhere that carp like it. Fortunatly, I don't think that these ones make it to the table
