Hi Catherine. I completely understand your issue with slaughter - most women really struggle with this, including myself. Here is an account of my first tilapia "harvest" that just took place a couple weeks ago - http://theaquaponicsource.com/2011/07/10/aquaponic-tilapia-harvesting-the-deed-has-been-done/. The key? The first time do it with a good friend who has some experience, and some sensitivity to your feelings!
