    I have not found fish oil helpful for my bi-polar illness, nor PTSD. I do take cold water salmon oil, hoping it may help my over all general health.

    Your thought about the problem of overfishing is interesting. I hope the idea of using algea catches on with consumers. I intend to look into it, as I like to do my share in helping the envionment.

    I am always interested in research, so I find your post intriguing...
