Three Species Of Orca

Not one.

See SciAm: Orcas are more than one species, gene study shows

This reminds me of something I saw on television recently that showed Orca's had somehow learned that if they could launch a surprise attack on a Great White Shark and then hold it upside down for 15 minutes then they could have their way with it. It was amazing.

An Easier Way To Pick Seafood

GOOD has a new transparency up: Which Fish to Eat?

The easiest thing to remember is first look for U.S. Farmed, then these species: Arctic Char, Barmundi, Catfish, Cobia, Tilapia, Rainbow Trout, Striped Bass (not ill tempered), Clams, Bay Scallops, Mussels, Oysters, and Spiny Lobsters.

They are not listed, but Crawfish are good and sustainable option too.
