  6. Pesticide spray drift from intensive horticulture on the the mid-north coast NSW -
    Discontent in the region.

    Home owners, dairy and beef producers among those concerned about how pesticide use affects their land as well as water quality on the mid-north coast

    “Between 2001 and 2016 blueberry farming expanded 400% – mainly around the Coffs Harbour region.”

    “This monitoring showed the continued detection of pesticides in most waterways sampled, highlighting the need for ongoing monitoring in the region.”

    “Monitoring in the Nambucca valley by the EPA has detected three different pesticides in low levels in three creeks, suggesting water quality in the area is not being impacted by excessive amounts of pesticides.”

  7. #Christmas charcuterie lunch and the closest thing we could find to actual #prawns (these are just "big shrimp" in the US). They were not bad at all, but we are spoiled by Mooloolaba prawns in Oz.

  8. How to make sustainable seafood choices this Christmas to ease the pressure on Australia’s oceans

    "Last year the market traded about 350 tonnes of seafood over the Christmas period, with 120t of prawns and 70,000 dozen oysters among the top sellers...Australian Marine Conservation Society’s GoodFish guide aims to showcase the most environmentally friendly seafood sources."

    'Sustainable Fishing' is a Lie
    "Fishing sustainability is based on a pseudoscientific theory that justifies taking the most marine life for maximum profit. Sustainable fishing is a deception, a myth motivated by the ideology that life on Earth belongs to humankind."

    Adaptation in the Anthropocene: How behavioural choice and colour change enables chameleon #prawns to camouflage on non-native #seaweeds besjournals.onlinelibrary.wile

    "Depending on the algae they are in, they can turn red, green, brown or transparent... The new results also show that they can camouflage themselves in algae from other oceans with which they did not evolve together."

  11. I got more free #prawns gifted to me this week. Cooked some up with simple, traditional, salt n pepper with garlic. Eating it with some steamed Asian greens & jasmine rice.

  12. #ResearchVessel provides comprehensive assessment of the changing Central #Arctic Ocean phys.org/news/2024-10-vessel-c

    "Luminescent #sardines from the genus Benthosema were omnipresent in the Central #ArcticOcean... These #fish, less than 10 centimeters long, and the #prawns and #squids we found, indicate that the ecosystem surrounding the #NorthPole is more biodiverse than previously assumed."

  13. CW: Food

    #SeafoodBakedRice is a #CantoWestern dish which locks into everything that I love about #MacNCheese and is yet delightfully different. It’s even better as #leftovers - I make mine with #prawns and #CrabStick

  14. I just have to say that #Cocktail sauce is #Perfect for #Shrimps and #Prawns. I can't think of anything else to go with that...

  15. After my peaceful solitude time yesterday, I swung by a farmer & fisherman friend's place, near Sidney, to drop off a book & some homemade jasmine chamomile tea gifts. He gifted me a free range processed #chicken, some #prawns he caught on the weekend & fresh #broccoli. I used the #food gifts to cook #dinner.
    We had these dishes with steamed jasmine rice.

  17. #adulteration, or dilution, is among the most common forms of #food #fraud, a problem on the rise worldwide - and in #Australia. From #prawns plumped up with gel to #wine watered down with fruit juice, food fraud is a growing problem that costs producers billions.
