Sale of monkfish will pay for science to study them - Associated Press Sale of monkfish will pay for science to study them - Associated Press Posted: 19 Mar 2020 12:00 AM PDT BOSTON (AP) — An Arizona university will be able to use about money generated from the sale of monkfish to study the monster-like sea creatures. Monkfish are harvested as food off the East Coast, where they are brought to land in states such as Massachusetts, Rhode Island and Maine. The New England Fishery Management Council said a program called the "research set-aside" will allow Arizona State University to use new tagging technology to investigate the movements of the fish. The university will collaborate with the New England Aquarium on the project, which is valued at about $4.2 million. The research set-aside program generates money for science from the harvest and sale of fish that are "set aside" for this purpose. Another program will he

A lucky fish? - Blair Enterprise Publishing A lucky fish? - Blair Enterprise Publishing Posted: 31 Mar 2020 08:00 AM PDT The Asian arowana is a freshwater fish distributed geographically across Southwest Asia. There are several varieties of this fish in the wild that some consider as one species, while others differentiate into multiple species. It is not harmful or poisonous to humans, but it is a fierce predator dating back to the age of the dinosaurs. The fish is edible, but reported to be bony and very bland. Its big claim to fame comes from being an exotic and popular aquarium fish sought after by serious hobbyists. For the Asian elite, the Asian arowana has become a coveted status symbol and all-around obsession. It is prized for its large, metallic glimmering scales and sinuous body which undulates like the paper dragons you see in a Chinese New Year's parade. Certain varieties of the Asian arowana have become one of the w

Fox News linked fish tank cleaner to Trump's recommended coronavirus treatment. A man who drank it died. - Media Matters for America Fox News linked fish tank cleaner to Trump's recommended coronavirus treatment. A man who drank it died. - Media Matters for America Posted: 25 Mar 2020 12:48 PM PDT The Fox article hypes the spike in prices of fish tank cleaners containing chloroquine phosphate without clearly explaining that outside of its approved pharmaceutical form and dosage, chloroquine phosphate can be toxic and deadly -- though it does mention that it's not for "human consumption" at the end of the third paragraph. Considering most Americans don't read past the headline of an article, it is not only irresponsible but outright idiotic for Fox to imply such equivalence in the article title during a pandemic when people are desperate to find ways to protect themselves. The article also stated that "

CDC warns against using additive found in fish tank cleaner to treat COVID-19 - The Denver Channel CDC warns against using additive found in fish tank cleaner to treat COVID-19 - The Denver Channel Posted: 28 Mar 2020 10:33 AM PDT ATLANTA — The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) issued a health alert Saturday, warning against the use of non-pharmaceutical chloroquine phosphate to treat COVID-19. Chloroquine phosphate is a chemical for aquarium use because it kills algae. It's commercially available for purchase at stores and online. The national health alert comes after a Phoenix-area man died and his wife was hospitalized after taking the chemical they believed could help protect against coronavirus. Last Sunday, the couple, both in their 60s, took the aquarium-use chemical, and within 30 minutes, the two experienced severe side effects, requiring admittance to a nearby hospital. The man died, and his wife remains

These puppies got to frolic in a huge aquarium. The fish didn't seem to care - KMOV.com These puppies got to frolic in a huge aquarium. The fish didn't seem to care - KMOV.com Posted: 27 Mar 2020 08:28 AM PDT (CNN) -- The Georgia Aquarium is closed to the public because of coronavirus restrictions, so some adorable puppies had the run of the place for a spell. Carmel and Odie got to scamper around in the aquarium's underwater tunnel and explore the Ocean Voyager gallery, in a video posted on social media by the aquarium and the Atlanta Humane Society. The pups, who are siblings, are about 8 weeks old and are probably some sort of terrier mix, Christina Hill with the Atlanta Humane Society told CNN. "They are very cute and scruffy, aren't they?" she said. The puppies didn't seem too interested in the whale sharks, blackbar soldierfish, rays, bowmouth guitarfish or the other species

Birch Aquarium celebrates 'Turtleversary' of rescued sea turtle - The San Diego Union-Tribune Birch Aquarium celebrates 'Turtleversary' of rescued sea turtle - The San Diego Union-Tribune Posted: 13 Jan 2020 12:00 AM PST Two years after a ground-breaking veterinary intervention, a rescued loggerhead turtle at Birch Aquarium at Scripps Institution of Oceanography is celebrating her anniversary with the aquarium. The turtle made news two years ago when she received a custom-made, 3D printed implant to fill a crack in her shell that was stunting her spine. On Thursday, she glided around her tank, ignoring salmon offered by her keepers, but curiously examining dozens of visitors who gathered to watch her feeding. This weekend, she'll get even more attention as the aquarium hosts a "Turtleversary" to mark her 2015 debut. The female loggerhead sea turtle was found injured and sick in a power pl
