Scientists claim that astronauts could grow fish on the Moon using eggs transported from Earth and water that\u2019s on the lunar surface.Experts are simulating the impact of the vibrations caused by a rocket launch on fertilised fish eggs as part of a project called Lunar Hatch to fertilise farmed fish eggs on Earth that would hatch upon arrival at the lunar base.They found that eggs of two fish species \u2013 European sea bass (Dicentrarchus labrax) and meagre (Argyrosomus regius) \u2013 survived stressors replicating the launch of Russian Soyuz spacecraft.It is possible to set up a fish farm to help feed the lunar astronauts in the next couple of decades as fish eggs could feasibly be transported to the Moon, the scientists claim.Rearing fish on the Moon would provide astronauts with \u2018essential amino acids, omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids and vitamin B12\u2019 \u2013 and an alternative to unappetising freeze-dried products.fish farm moon lunar surface water astronauts<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
