Seas the Day at This Underwater Pop-Up Bar - Nerdist Nov 29 2022 • 3:39 PM If you're a fan of the ocean and adventurous cocktails, here's something to add to your bucket list. Enjoy a gin and tonic cocktail underwater! Lucky people in Madrid got to do just that thanks to the recent underwater pop-up bar, Hendrick's Pubmarine. Party-goers got their dose of vitamin sea thanks to a bar set up at the bottom of an aquarium full of sharks, rays, and other fish. Some mermaids even swam by and the bartender wore one of those old timey copper diving suits to really set the scene.   [embedded content] It's a clever (and beautiful) publicity stunt, but this pulling of this functional underwater bar also took some real ingenuity. The scuba helmets allowed guests to breathe and drink underwater, something most recreational divers have never attempted. The cocktails come inside pressurized, watertight containers so they didn't mix...

Article body copy Imagine you've got a lobster in front of you, bright red and softly steaming. There's a fish in that picture, too, though you can't see it—the fish that was tucked into a trap to lure in the lobster that could end up on your dinner plate. There's no fish visible in the thick sausage Wally MacPhee lifts off the top of a half pallet of cardboard boxes either, even if it smells of the sea and has a piscine give to it when squeezed. But he's hoping lobsters won't know that—for the fishers' sake, and for the sake of the small silvery baitfish this partially frozen cylinder is meant to replace. In Canada's Atlantic provinces, fisheries for lobster and snow crab are booming; in 2022, lobster prices reached record highs, and fisheries managers increased the quota for snow crab in some places by 32 percent. But these fisheries are on precarious footing nonetheless. The small species that have traditionally been used as bait—namel...

STOCK IMAGE MANILA, Philippines — The country's fish supply has remained stable amid the onslaught of Tropical Storm Paeng (international name: Nalgae) and various agricultural groups said there is no need to flood the market with imported fish. The Taal Lake Aquaculture Alliance Inc. (TLAAI) and the Philippine Tilapia Stakeholders Association said the recent typhoon that made landfall in the Philippines did not hamper their production and they could still supply the country's fish requirement. ADVERTISEMENT "We want the government to know that our industry remains resilient regardless of the strong winds, rain, and flooding. Despite Tropical Storm Paeng affecting many fish producers, it did not hinder our production," TLAAI director Mario Balazon said. "We agree with the statement that Mario Balazon from TLAAI made. There is not much damage here in Pampanga. We are always prepared here in Minalin since we don't use nets. We use dykes, and we ...

Abby started its journey selling 120 or so of its "All-In-One Smart Hydroponic Grow Box" on Kickstarter, with a relatively modest $100,000 raised on the crowdfunding platform. The device promises to help you make growing your favorite plants more or less foolproof, especially if your "favorite plants" are marijuana. In its marketing, the company is careful to share that you can grow any plant you like, but realistically, there are not a lot of plants that need "replacement carbon filters delivered to your house every 3 months," and the website issues a "you must be 21 or older to enter this site" warning. The community is eager and ardent about its love for smokable plants. Let's just say that if you're going to spend $1,000 on a single-plant hydroponic box, you'd really have to love tomatoes for it to make sense; most of its users appear to be growing a more, er, valuable crop. Being based in California, where these things are l...

The next time you go for a swim, try this: Close your eyes, paddle in place, and imagine using the feeling of the water on your skin to map the shape of everything nearby—from the contours of the pool to the location of a hapless bug struggling on the surface. That's kind of what it's like to be a fish with a marvelous sensory apparatus known as the lateral line system. Composed of exquisitely sensitive skin-based cells and snaking nerves, lateral lines are as integral to a fish's perception as their sight or hearing. For a human, trying to wonder what it's like to have one is an exercise in transcending the boundaries of our own ümwelt , or notion of our place in the world. Doing so might also help us better understand what our gilled counterparts' lives are like, and how to better care for them, particularly in captive environments. Waves reflecting off aquarium walls could be a source of distress for animals with such a keen sensory system, while ...

If you just adopted or are looking to adopt some saltwater fish, you'll need to purchase a saltwater aquarium to house them — but how can you find the best tank for you and your fish's needs? The best saltwater aquarium kits, like the ones below, have powerful filtration systems to keep the water clean and clear and long-lasting LED lights to help your fish thrive and provide energy and oxygen to the plants and coral in the tank. What to look for in a saltwater aquarium kit A saltwater aquarium kit typically includes a tank plus other essentials, like a filter, lighting and sometimes a water heater. Some kits even come with some decorations, including gravel, rocks and plants. Kits are great, especially for beginners, because you'll get everything you need to start your tank but without the headache of having to figure it all out by yourself. But still, there are some things you'll want to keep an eye out for when shopping for saltwater aquarium kits. The filtration sys...

SASHA PAULSEN "I've been trying to get this for 20 years," Dr. Jessica Harris said in opening remarks at the Culinary Institute of America's 24th Worlds of Flavor Conference at the CIA at Copia in Napa.  The annual CIA conference has ventured from classical roots of haute cuisine with a new theme each year, exploring the foods of Japan, China, Scandinavia, Spain, the spice route across Asia, and the street foods of Central and South America. Harris, author, culinary historian and chairwoman of the CIA's African Cuisines Advisory Committee, finally achieved her objective when, over three days in November, the subject was "Africa and the World: Reclaiming the Past, Crafting the Future."  The conference was a "benchmark in my career as an irritant," said the 74-year-old Harris, professor emerita at Queens College in New York. She is the author of 12 books documenting the culture of Africa ...
