    I know fish poop feeds my herimt population.
    I think we know more about our oceans then our solar system. We can at least go to our oceans but yet to travel 1% of our solar system and scienctists can't even tell you what some stuff is yet alone what it is made of. Wouldn't belive everything you read. IMO it is like the best in the world everyone has it but the name alone says it is the best and not everyone can who is right no one knows.
