The 12-year-old hopes to find an aquarium for the rare lobster.  ISLANDER PHOTO BY ETHAN GENTER NORTHEAST HARBOR  — Elli Hamor has only been lobstering for three years now, but the 12-year-old middle schooler got the catch of her life when she pulled up an uber rare lobster last week.    Hamor was tending to her 50 traps in Northeast Harbor with her father, Ben Hamor, when she pulled up one trap and found "Ghosty," a 1.25-pound white lobster with shades of blue.     "I was shocked," said Elli.    Inside the trap with the rare crustacean were three other run-of-the-mill lobsters.

For centuries, humans have been captivated by the beauty of the betta. Their slender bodies and oversized fins, which hang like bolts of silk, come in a variety of vibrant colors seldom seen in nature. However, bettas, also known as the Siamese fighting fish, did not become living works of art on their own. The betta's elaborate colors and long, flowing fins are the product of a millennium of careful selective breeding. Or as Yi-Kai Tea, a doctoral candidate at the University of Sydney who studies the evolution and speciation of fishes, put it, "quite literally the fish equivalent of dog domestication." A new study, uploaded in April to the preprint service BioRxiv, shows through genome sequencing that humans began domesticating bettas at least 1,000 years ago. The millennium of careful selection gave rise to the stunning diversity of domestic betta fishes alive today, but also caused both wild and domestic betta fish to undergo vast genetic changes. By studying the genes

Art by Michael Stillwell With temperatures rising and summer on the horizon, it's time to start thinking about your lobster order again. Do you prefer your lobsters steamed, boiled, or grilled? When you order a lobster roll, do you go Connecticut style (with hot and buttered lobster meat) or Maine style (served cold, and the lobster meat tossed with mayonnaise and celery)? While you can dine out at any number of chef-approved restaurants specializing in the delicacy (Le Bernardin's Eric Ripert recommends Duryea's in Montauk, for example), it's now just as easy to order in and have lobster shipped directly to you. In some ways, we have the pandemic to thank for easier access to top-quality lobster at home. Luke's Lobster, which opened its first location in New York's East Village and now has 18 locations around the world, shut down all but its Portland, Maine resta

"W hat should her name be?" I ask my soon-to-be four-year-old daughter, Bianca. She and I had just picked out her first pet: a female betta fish. My daughter's favorite color (for now, anyway) is purple, so even though the pet store had a whole display full of bettas to choose from, she was immediately drawn a lavender-toned variety of the "elephant ear" or "Dumbo" phenotype, so named because of its particularly large pectoral fins that resemble the ears of elephants. "Sky," she answers confidently. "That's a beautiful name," I tell her. "A beautiful name for a beautiful fish." But my daughter is not satisfied; she feels the fish also needs a middle name. "Banana!" she declares without hesitation and with copious giggles. "Sky Banana it is," I say with a smile. Most betta owners are drawn to the fish because of their vibrant colors and ornate fins, but my husband and I settled on one for our family

They say goldfish grow to fit the size of their bowl — and when the bowl is a lake, things can get out of hand. Minnesota officials have issued a warning about dumping pet fish in local waterways, after several football-sized goldfish were recently found in a lake south of Minneapolis. Photos posted by the city of Burnsville last week show some truly massive goldfish that were pulled out the city's Keller Lake, where the former pets have grown into a major problem for the ecosystem.

If you don't want to restock your fish tank because the kids lost interest or your life is just too busy to maintain an aquarium, why not repurpose the tank into something useful? Upcycling is an incredibly popular hobby and can be a great way of giving an old, redundant object a new lease of life without consigning it to a landfill. Did you know that, in the U.S. alone, we throw away enough glass every week to fill a 1,350-foot building? Glass takes over 1 million years to fully degrade, so any glass you throw in the trash is going to be sitting in that landfill for a long, long time. With that in mind, here are three fun ideas to help you repurpose your old fish tank into something you can use right now. This article contains affiliate links. If you purchase an item through one of these links, we receive a small commission that helps fund our Recycling Directory. 1.
