So interesting. I studied dw squalids 20 years ago from the orange roughy trawl fisheries of SE Australia. What fisheries take dw sharks in Central America? Are they utilised or discarded? Thanks

ivalina.bsky.social•91 days ago

Increasingly utilized. Most of the fisheries target snappers and groupers, but there are a few small fisheries that go for the sharks. I think we may see a shift to the sharks as the fish become depleted and possibly as a side effect of cites protections of the Carcharhinids.

Comment image

biologycarly.bsky.social•98 days ago

I'm gonna need you to say more about this

greenleejw.bsky.social•98 days ago

Which part?

biologycarly.bsky.social•98 days ago

Yes.

greenleejw.bsky.social•98 days ago

Alright!

Eels were a big part of the diet in pre-modern England, & this affected the culture. People paid rent in eels; in 1200 there were more than 540,000 eels dues in rent every year. They show up in literature (Shakespeare mentions eels more than any other fish!), art, metaphor, toponyms, etc.

greenleejw.bsky.social•98 days ago

They were part of identity as well. The English thought of themselves as a people who ate eels, and there are eels & eel fishing equipment on personal coats of arms in England. You don't see that elsewhere in Europe; England had a particularly vibrant eel culture!

biologycarly.bsky.social•98 days ago

Are the blue cats preying on native suckers?

noahwithfish.bsky.social•98 days ago

Where they overlap, probably. Blue cats are opportunistic generalist predators so if they came across a sucker that could fit in their mouth, they would eat it. However, we didn’t find any suckers in our diet study, but we also didn’t find any suckers in that portion of the river where we sampled

foulharpy.bsky.social•98 days ago

Are snakehead tasty?

noahwithfish.bsky.social•98 days ago

They are some of the best tasting fish around! A firm, white, mild meat that is not fishy at all. The meat is just about as firm as fish gets, very similar to halibut! Because of that, it holds up every way you can possibly cook it, from smoked to ceviche to blackened to grilled to fried to curried!

Comment image

foulharpy.bsky.social•98 days ago

I read about them being renamed to Chesapeake Channa to make them sound more appetizing. It’s really cool that they at least taste good, I’ll try to eat all of them myself and save the water ways 🙂‍↕️

noahwithfish.bsky.social•98 days ago

Invasive blue catfish in the Chesapeake Bay Area, striped bass from the west coast, & lionfish from Florida/gulf coast are also tasty invasive species options that are the most sustainable of fishes. Better to take them out of the water than leave them in, & you can enjoy a good meal while doing so!

Hi Aria, I'm Jane. I searched on "sailboat" and your post popped up! I'm a liveaboard and solo sailor, currently on the hard for a while to paint the topsides and install a bunch of stuff ⛵

coastofbohemia.bsky.social•107 days ago

I'm on land for the time being too--how I miss liveaboard life! I'll be back. Not confident enough yet for solo, but eventually! What part of the world are you in? My longest stint aboard was in Boston, most affordable location in the city with a view, and I actually really love the winter there 😆

jane-anderson.bsky.social•107 days ago

I'm on the Chesapeake at the moment, so winter won't be *too* bad on the boat this year - a good thing since instead of a dock I've got a ladder to climb every day 🙃 I love liveaboard life too. Living aboard in Boston sounds great!

lwilliamsallen.bsky.social•108 days ago

Serious question: what is ocean planning? Mostly how humans interact with it via harbors, break walls, etc?

coastofbohemia.bsky.social•108 days ago

Yes, that, but also coastal zone + offshore mgmt--increasingly using a paradigm called marine spatial planning--includes uses like fishing, mining, oil + gas, shipping, protected areas, undersea cables, wind energy, aquaculture, military, recreation, and how all of these interact with each other.

lwilliamsallen.bsky.social•107 days ago

That is extremely cool. I grew up on the coast in the Santa Barbara area, so that stuff was always on our minds looking at the islands/oil rigs/harbors etc.

Any books you’d recommend that would be decipherable by a layperson? (Though I do have an undergrad degree in geology fwiw)

jennyrae.bsky.social•102 days ago

Hello! This is a bit strange to ask, but my 7 year old came home from school the other day, & told me all about how an octopus can squish into its beak to fit through small places. And then we watched videos of this. But how exactly is it doing this, in terms of a biological mechanism?

theoctopuslady.bsky.social•102 days ago

Sorry, I'm a little confused, because octopuses don't squish themselves INTO their beaks to fit through tiny holes. I'm not even sure how they would do that! But they CAN fit into any hole that is the same *size* as their beak. And this is because octopuses ain't got no bones! Or shells! (1/2)

theoctopuslady.bsky.social•102 days ago

The only hard part of their body is their beak. They also don't have big pockets of gas inside their bodies, either. They're basically just extremely squishy blobs of meat! That allows them to squeeze themselves into any hole or crevice, as long as it's big enough to fit their beak, too (2/2)

jennyrae.bsky.social•102 days ago

Thank you! I didn’t know that about the big pockets of gas, so the whole thing makes more sense now. And the clarification on what my kid was telling me. 🙂

Hi, everyone. I work in areas of program and technology development to reduce human-wildlife conflict. All projects I’m involved in incorporate aspects of environmental justice. I try to see the world from the wildlife point of view. Would love to connect.

cindyking.bsky.social•96 days ago

What do you think the world looks like to wildlife?

jpswaddle.bsky.social•95 days ago

Great question. It depends on the wildlife. As one example, many birds and lots of insects see down into ultraviolet wavelengths of light which means they see colors that are invisible to us.

cindyking.bsky.social•95 days ago

The human eye can distinguish more than 1,000 colors. Animals also see many different perspectives. I think it's really just black and white. It's just that different species see the world differently

That's so cool. I just found out about this thing called an electric reef. Where they put iron out and run a mild electric current through it. I wonder if perhaps you could make it modular, and self powered via tidal energy. I picture moving living sculptures made from rebar that self assemble.
