Humans have been eating raw oysters for hundreds of thousands of years—164,000 to be exact, according to anthropologists who discovered a South African cave with evidence of shellfish and whale consumption. (The image above is a depiction of The Shell Mound People, or Kitchen-Middeners, a group of hunter gatherers who would create middens with discarded shellfish shells.) It's no different stateside, says Bethea. He tells us, "Indigenous people were not only eating oysters, but they were doing it in a sustainable way. They would build middens, which are basically piles of discarded oyster shells, by returning shellfish remains to the water. More oysters grew on those oyster shells as they put them back, which is a form of aquaculture that's called remote setting." (In case you're wondering, there are thousands upon thousands of middens still standing in coastal environments around the globe.) That said, Hughes reminds us that raw or undercooked shellfish can make ...

Indoor renovations modernize and upgrade the pandas' interior habitat and building infrastructure. Work is underway to install new climbing structures, water features and rockwork that encourage the bears to exercise and play. A new ventilation system provides improved air quality and temperature control, and an upgraded smoke evacuation network would keep the bears safer in the unlikely event of a dangerous situation.   Also included are upgrades to the Giant Panda Cam, made possible by a network of trained volunteers. 40 centrally operated cameras, as well as three console machines and the monitors in the Giant Panda Cam operating room, are being replaced with state-of-the-art technology.

I know what you're thinking. No, I won't insist you drag your mind out of the gutter, because frankly everyone thinks it. The geoduck, the animal that accounts for more of Puget Sound's biomass than any other organism, perhaps Washington's most idiosyncratic animal, is phallic. It looks like the eggplant emoji; a big ol' you-know-what. Let's all be snotty adolescents for a moment and get our snickers out now. Because compared to the Panopea generosa , we are exactly that, juveniles. Unlike the manila clam and the Pacific oyster and the farmed Atlantic salmon and the walleye and the catfish that live in Washington waters, the geoduck is as native as it comes. Even individually, they're longtimers—there are geoducks living in the sands of Puget Sound, right this moment, that were filter feeding through the Spanish American War. The name itself has Indigenous roots—the Nisqually word gweduc means "dig deep"—and they're not particularly ...

When thinking of seafood and cheddar bay biscuits, there is only one restaurant chain that comes to mind: Red Lobster. However, the company is having trouble staying above water these days; it has closed numerous locations and officially filed for bankruptcy on May 20.  This marks a significant fall from grace for a company that remains the largest seafood restaurant in the United States, according to Statista, with $2.3 billion in annual sales in 2021. But why is the once ubiquitous chain on the verge of collapse?  Some have said it is the result of the wide-scale promotions Red Lobster runs, such as their Endless Shrimp (which alone was responsible for around $20 million in losses for the company). However, while these types of deals were "financially ruining Red Lobster," according to Food & Wine, others have pointed to another, more common culprit: greed on Wall Street.   Subscribe to The Week Escape your echo chamber.

Cloudy aquarium water affects so many fish tanks. Here are some of the issues that cause it: New aquarium gravel The most common cause of cloudy aquarium water in new fish tanks is the gravel. When aquarium gravel and sand is brand new it will contain some dust. All new fish tank gravel and sand should be washed vigorously in a bucket, with tap water, until the water runs clear. If gravel isn't prewashed before being added to the tank, when you fill it with water, the water will go cloudy. The solution Always give aquarium and sand an extra long rinse when bought new. You'll rarely get it completely free of dust, but you can deflect water through a kitchen colander or onto a dish when you fill the tank, disturbance and cloudy fish tank water with be lessened. Plug the filter in after filling and water should clear of dust within 24 hours. Fine filtering materials like filter floss will aid mechanical filtration and speed up the clearing of the cloudy water. If it still ...

Jeremy Gay visits photographer Barry Cranwell â€" a reader with a passion for Discus and plants. Barry Cranwell sends us pictures of his fish from time to time and we bumped into him while on a London shoptour and at the Festival of Fishkeeping at Hayling Island. He first invited us to see his fish a while ago, but he sold his entire tank to friends who were so impressed with the set-up that they made him an offer he simply couldn't refuse. After a period of keeping just Discus and plants, Barry took the plunge into marines, but didn't do too well. So he was soon back to keeping what he knew and loved. When we visited him we got to see the latest tanks — a Juwel Vision 260 and Juwel Lido 120, both in black. These have the wow factor, and there was something about the décor and plant arrangement that put the two tanks straight into my list of favourites. By Barry's own admission the tanks are decorated in a jungle style, and I think he's got that theme ...

When the nearly 50-year store A World of Fish closed in Richfield last year, a group of former employees moved across the border to Minneapolis to continue the local fish-keeping tradition. They found a window-filled, airy space in Windom to open Rivershore Aquariums in November of 2022. Customers could find cheaper supplies and fish at big box pet stores, but the knowledgeable staff at Rivershore are passionate about fish-keeping. Plus customers are supporting  a locally-owned store with locally-grown fish. Some customers wander into Rivershore from Bachman's, which is across the street, for the plants and sometimes consider getting a fish. Wetmore said that he aims to serve the spectrum of people who walk through the doors from small breeders to plant people who are interested in trying fish. "That person needs to buy that stuff somewhere, but then there's another customer on the exact opposite side of the spectrum of interest. 'Hey, never done this before b...
