Ahem, I've owned aquariums. Fish attract parasites like po rn stars attract stalkers.  |

 So do land animals. The difference being the lack of antibiotics for fish. |

And who's fault is that? |

... Louis Pasteur?

...yours. Because you mers have not invented them. |

Know of many parasites that can be vaccinated against, do you?

Technically you can kill any parasite by raising your blood-alcohol level enough. |

Ah yes, the ocean, well known for being flooded with alcohol. Oh, no, wait, that's oil. Thanks, humanity.

So ferment something! Ferment kelp! If agave can make tequila, I'm sure kelp can make something strong. |

And how do you propose we store it, exactly? It took you how long to develop watertight containers, again?

We had no need for them. Necessity is the mother of invention. |

You absolutely had need of them. To hold your water, for example.

Untrue. We tend to drink said water before it evaporates. |

Or, you know, it dripped out of the thing because it wasn't waterproof.

...watertight doesn't mean the bottom can't hold water. Half a coconut shell. Gourds. An appropriately shaped rock. Or, moving past the cavemen and over to around 4000 BC, clay pots. |

Ah yes, all things that work as watertight storage. Especially underwater. You know, my point.

So introduce yourselves to human society and trade for some glass containers! |

Ah, glass, the most durable of materials. That'll totally survive the depths of the seas.

Glass handles pressure surprisingly well. Especially if we're talking the depth in which sunlight still penetrates. |

Which you know we aren't, considering you've never discovered our cities.
