Another threat from climate change: bad-tasting shrimp
2014-12-22 23:26:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
LA Times: Some of the consequences of climate change are obvious -- shrinking polar ice caps, rising sea levels, more damaging floods -- and some are subtle. Among the latter, we can now add bad-tasting seafood. So concludes a team of researchers led by Sam Dupont of the University of Gothenburg, Sweden, recently published in the Journal of Shellfish Research. They tested shrimp raised for three weeks in seawater of average pH versus shrimp raised in acidic waters, similar to conditions that may prevail...

Want To Reduce Your Carbon Footprint? Choose Mackerel Over Shrimp
2014-07-29 23:07:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
National Public Radio: Small fatty fish like mackerel, herring, sardines and anchovies are high in omega-3s, vitamin D and low on the food chain. Those shining attributes have earned them plenty of nods from doctors and environmentalists alike, as we've reported. They're not among the most popular seafoods in the U.S., though, partly because of their fishy taste. But if you knew that eating these fish would mean shrinking your carbon footprint a wee bit, would that convince you to buy them over say, that bag of frozen...

Shrimp crash forces first fishery closure for 35 years

New Scientist: SOMETHING fishy is happening off the coast of Maine. Shrimp populations have collapsed. After recording alarmingly low stocks in its yearly survey, the Atlantic States Marine Fisheries Commission has now banned shrimp fishing in the region. It is the first time in 35 years that the Gulf of Maine fishery has been forced to close. Global warming is one of the suspects. What is so unusual about the latest survey is a decline in shrimp of all sizes. The fishery targets 4 and 5-year-old females,...

Shrimp Fishing Banned in Gulf of Maine Due to Ocean Warming
2013-12-09 15:57:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
EcoWatch: Warming ocean waters in New England have caused shrimp populations to fall so low that shrimp fishing in the Gulf of Maine has been banned for the 2014 season. That means the small Maine shrimp sold by stores and served by restaurants will get scarce or disappear entirely. Often called bay shrimp or pink shrimp, the small tails are typically used in salads. The shrimp are often sold frozen and are available across the U.S. and around the world. The Atlantic States Marine Fisheries Commissions...
Fishery Closure Puts New England's Shrimp Season On Ice

National Public Radio: New England chefs like Andrew Taylor and Mike Wiley are still coming to terms with the news: No more shrimp until further notice. This week, regulators shut down the New England fishery for Gulf of Maine shrimp for the first time in 35 years. The Atlantic States Marine Fisheries Commission judged the stocks of the popular shrimp, also known as northern shrimp, to be dangerously low. "Shrimp is just one of those treasures in the winter of Maine," says Taylor, who co-owns the upscale Hugo's Restaurant...
