The biggest problem we may have, were are we going get the quantities of EPA we need? Over fishing the oceans?

I've mentioned that before here - API will be a problem if R-IT succeeds and millions start taking V - overfishing is already a serious problem and is starting to be regulated in some areas, putting quotas on fish harvesters.

Perhaps from another source, where do fish get their EPA supply?

From algae they eat - which also may be the long term solution to produce massive amounts of EPA needed, it's already being made in algae factories to produce DHA for infant formula. Big problem I see with that solution is that there may be significant biological differences between EPA derived from fish oils and that grown in a vat - the FDA may require entire new trials (might be small) to prove that both EPA sources produce identical activity in humans. OTC fish oil products could make matters even worse, if demand goes way up on news of R-IT results.
