Surely still better than Soylent Green? Even so, I keep thinking that more effective population control would be easier than alternatives driven by desperation.

"VM-thawed samples retained higher levels of free amino acids, particularly those contributing to sweetness and umami, enhancing overall flavor complexity. However, bitterness also increased with extended thawing time and was the highest one among the thawing methods."

This should be a #penguin paradise ⚠️🐧
Chinstrap penguins - named after the thin black line under their chin - come to this area near Coronation Island to nest on the elevated ground. It’s where they raise their chicks, who stay warm and tucked away for about 30 days before waddling off to join a penguin daycare (yes, really), watched over by a few adults from the colony.

But raising chicks takes energy. And for that, they rely on one thing being close by: #krill❗

It’s their main food source - and they need a lot of it.
But now, they’re not the only ones hunting for it.👇
Industrial super trawlers are out here too, hauling up krill by the ton, day and night. Right where the penguins feed..

They can’t fight industrial fishing. But you can!

🔔 Tomorrow, we’re sharing a video update from the frontlines - showing something the krill industry would probably rather keep out of sight.

Watch it. Share it. Help us push for real protection!

Not even an hour in, and we’ve already got company! 🐬⛴️ #Dolphins showed up right after departure—almost like they knew we were heading south to track down the #krill industry stripping the ocean bare and came to wish us luck.

These beautiful creatures depend on a healthy ocean. And so do we. Will you stand with us to #StopThePlunder?

Losing #krill would send shockwaves through the #ecosystem—and beyond.
Here’s why: They’re not just essential food for #whales, #seals, and #penguins. They’re key to our climate. When wildlife feeds on krill, they help transfer carbon to the deep ocean, playing a vital role in stabilizing the climate.
👉 Overfishing krill threatens this balance. Protecting them means protecting life on Earth. 🌏
We’re heading back to protect this fragile ecosystem and take on these relentless trawlers when they least expect it. Your support fuels our mission. Let’s fight for #Antarctica’s future—join us today! https://seashe.ph/SavingAntarctica

Fishing boats spotted competing with #whales in Antarctica for #krill - news.mongabay.com/short-articl "two Norwegian ships and one Chinese vessel krill fishing in the region; the Chinese ship was near feeding humpback whales (Megaptera novaeangliae)." sickening human greed... #norway #china

Recent #whale #deaths highlight risks from Antarctica's booming #krill fishery.

The Associated Press has learned that two #humpback #whales were found dead and another seriously injured this year in huge nets used to collect krill for fishmeal and human dietary supplements near #Antarctica.

Antarktischer #Krill trägt durch seine sinkenden Kotpellets wesentlich zur #Kohlenstoffspeicherung bei, ähnlich wie #Küstenökosysteme wie #Salzwiesen oder #Mangroven. Jährlich speichern sie etwa 20 Millionen Tonnen #Kohlenstoff, was einem Wert von 4 bis 46 Milliarden US-Dollar entspricht. Angesichts der Bedrohung durch den #Klimawandel und die #Fischerei wird der Schutz dieser wichtigen #Kohlenstoffsenke immer dringlicher.

Booming demand for krill as fish meal and omega-3 fatty acid nutritional supplements, however, could leave whales without enough victuals to sustain even their diminished numbers.

A major cause of ozone loss is believed to be the amount of smoke from unprecedented Australian wildfires, which were fuelled by climate change.

“A hole in the ozone layer - the protective barrier of gas in the upper atmosphere - now lingers over the frozen continent for more of the year…

“There is also evidence that krill - the small and hugely abundant marine creatures that are the foundation of the Antarctic food chain - move deeper into the ocean to avoid UV rays, which could affect the whales, seals, penguins and other seabirds that feed on them.

"We also know that the phytoplankton that the krill feed on will have to make sunscreens in order to avoid damage, said Prof Robinson.”

Dear Friends of #Misskey, #mystery

As we know you can not #krill a #wer-lobster. They just #moult.

Somehow in a #strange #sequence of events I haz:

1. #Become a leg end in my own #lunch #box
2. Added #Firefox relay to my #emails
3. Joined some #characters even more dubious, #septical #spectres of the deep C's #ghosties
4. My only #hope is they will be #protecting mini me from pirates, bad goats and #Texans

In other words. In ways #beyond my level of #comprehension, I am able to post up to 65000 words (my goat gott, that is almost as much as a #micro-bot can manage). I am running a securish #penguin, with many #wonderful GNU programs. Soon I while be lost again, #wandering the hi ways and bye the ways ...
