  1. First time with tomato sauce…

    … and frankly, it was grubbin'. I picked this up at a Hispanic grocery store for maybe $4. I didn't look too hard at the label, but these are Portuguese. Only three in the tin because they were monster pilchards, as you can see. The taste was pretty salty, honestly, but that didn't both…

  2. 🎣 Did you kniw there was a sardine shortage going on!? 🎣

    I have a feeling we might be seeing more of this kind of shortage in our futures ...

    King Oscar sardines + other canned varieties are currently hard to find on shelves due to a broad global sardine shortage driven by climate shifts, reduced catch quotas, + rising production costs.

    - Elevated sea temperatures + shifting climate conditions have reduced plankton supplies + triggered an unusually high volume of juvenile fish in catches.

    - Fishing Suspensions: Fisheries + regulatory bodies have enforced strict quotas, early season closures, + fishing suspensions—particularly across major global supply regions—leading to some of the lowest allocations in a decade.

    -Surging Demand & Costs: Rising health-conscious consumer demand combined with escalating global processing, transport, + fuel costs have strained inventories + led to cancelled online orders + bare supermarket shelves

  3. 😢 A #MarineHeatWave caused seabird deaths off California. El Nino could worsen the die-off

    ‘We don’t know how bad this is going to get’

    SAN DIEGO (AP) — "Within minutes of walking on a #SanDiego beach, marine ornithologist Tammy Russell found the feathered carcasses — one after another.
    Some were mixed in with washed up kelp. Others were under rocks.

    "Each month, scientists and volunteers conduct surveys of dead #seabirds and find what Russell describes as a grim assessment of the impact of a massive marine HeatWave that has lingered for months off parts of the California coast.

    "The surveys that have been carried out by various organizations for decades help build a baseline of information on beached sea life to detect threats and their impact.

    "Many seabirds, including California #BrownPelicans, #loons and #grebes, starved to death in recent months as record-setting ocean temperatures decreased the band of cold, nutrient-rich surface water where #krill, #anchovies and #sardines thrive near the shore, said Russell, a postdoctoral scholar at the University of California, San Diego, Scripps Institution of Oceanography.

    "We’ve been seeing #cormorants walk to shore and then just die within the hour. I mean one time it happened within 15 minutes, and I’ve never seen that before,” Russell said. 'That has been heartbreaking for me and we’re seeing this happening across the whole coast.'

    "Scientists fear the die-off could worsen with the recently formed El Nino, the natural warming of parts of the central Pacific that alters weather worldwide and spikes global temperatures."

  4. #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."
