Squid Blog
Wednesday, April 30, 2008
The colossal squid in New Zealand is being defrosted and studied right now, and the lab set up a blog:
While this squid is most fascinating, I can’t help but agree with this BBC dude that the catching of really weird deep-sea animals is a bad sign: it means fisherman are going further and further into the ocean to satisfy our ravenous fish-eating appetites. And I know I will be pissed if tuna steaks cease to exist.
And/or squid are having to venture farther afield to find food as we eat more of theirs!
i just ate a tuna steak with herbed aioli. it was spectacular. but i do worry a lot about declining populations. i love me some seafood and the idea of dead empty oceans makes me sad.
enough that i stopped eating swordfish.
