Maine lobsterman shows off rare bi-colored lobster - Spectrum News

Image
It's not uncommon for a lobster fisherman to bring up a lobster with more than one color, but more than one sex – that's particularly rare. Jacob Knowles, a fifth-generation Maine lobsterman, posted videos to YouTube and Instagram last week showing off just that – a lobster that appears to be half-male, half-female. He said a fellow lobster fisherman caught it and gave it to him. "It's the coolest lobster I've ever seen," he said. In the videos, Knowles noted fans have nicknamed the lobster "Bowie," after the late singer/songwriter David Bowie. It's also half-blue, which itself is a rarity. Turning it over, the genitalia running along the tail are clearly half-male, half-female. Alex Ascher, who works as a post-doctoral investigator and marine biologist for the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, said an animal with both male and female genitalia is technically called a gynandromorph.   It occurs in many species with two identi

Multi-use of offshore wind farms with low-trophic aquaculture can ... - Nature.com

Abstract Multi-use of offshore wind farms with low-trophic aquaculture could provide sustainable energy, nutritious seafood, and restorative ecosystem services through nutrients and carbon capture and utilization. In a transition zone between marine and brackish seas, our model predicted that allocating 10% of projected wind farm areas to blue mussel and sugar kelp aquaculture in the North Sea - Baltic Sea transition zone could yield 18 t-fresh weight ha −1 yr −1 . Total carbon captured and harvested from seaweed biomass and mussel shells would equal 40% of the carbon dioxide emissions from the Danish agricultural sector. Furthermore, global aquaculture production is projected to increase by 132% compared to current production. With technological and regulatory challenges still to be addressed, these findings demonstrate a vast potential of multi-use in offshore areas, which can generate blue biomass with fewer user conflicts, while mitigating eutrophication and climate change, thereb
