Greetings from the headquarters of Sustainable Maritime Industries, Inc. We are an American Company operating a tilapia operation located in Hainan, a tropical Island in China.

Tilapia require tropical waters or they will perish. Perhaps your comment (Editor’s Column, Feb. 14) is directed to the sad state of global warming, when eventually we will be as warm as Hainan. In the interim, Tilapia will not survive here.
