1. Wikipedia – check if correct or not. Pacu

   Discoveries in the United States have been reported in Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Georgia, Iowa, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Missouri, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Texas, Utah, Washington, Wisconsin, and Wyoming. State wildlife authorities typically advise home aquarists who wish to get rid of overgrown pacu to cut the heads off the fish and dispose of them as garbage.
   Aquaculture and aquaponics may relieve the overfishing crisis, as well as improve food security by boosting fish supplies. Various species of pacu are increasingly being used for warm-water farm fishing round the world. Pacu are considered ideal for their tolerance of the low-oxygen water in farm ponds. They also don’t require a lot of expensive protein in their diet, and can be raised year-round in warm or temperature-controlled environments.

   Research shows that the “flavor of [farmed] pacu is comparable to that of hybrid striped bass, tilapia, and rainbow trout, and superior to catfish.” In South America, pacu are prized for their sweet, mild flavor.

   Wikipedia says the reference to “eating men’s testicles” is false. But it is a good story!
