Breaking The Food Chain quest can be started in Boralus Harbor from [npc=136096] herbalism trainer.
I was able to take it after ~55-75 level of profession skill.

For this quest you need to kill 15 Freshwater Snapper in Tiragarde Sound.
Start from Hatherford and follow the river to the west.
/way Tiragarde Sound 64.99 21.19 Move west of Hatherford

Description

The extra riverbud you planted has helped, but it's not enough. Some of the local wildlife are consuming the riverbud before they mature. The more riverbud that is eaten, the less we have for our own needs. The largest group of young riverbud consumers are the turtles. If the riverbud becomes a threatened species, we'll need to regulate harvesting it. Instead, go thin the number of the turtles in the area. Do that and I'll teach you everything I know about riverbud.

Where to go

Pins are the quest’s own POI points from the current retail client, projected onto the in-game zone map. The game marks one blob as the quest’s turn-in; the rest are objective areas. Points that fall outside a map’s window are dropped rather than guessed at.
