Edward Scissorhands has a new home!

February 13, 2022 Canada, International News

Ripley’s Aquarium in Toronto has been making a habit out of rescuing lobsters lately, and their most recent rescue isn’t just a rare cool colour: he actually has three claws. They’ve named the lobster Edward Scissorhands, or just Edward for short. He has three claws, and they can all be controlled independently. The lobster comes to them from Lobster Hub Inc., which is actually a food wholesaler that Ripley’s has taken lobsters from before. Video, >click to read< 10:25

The New England groundfish debacle (Part III): who or what is at fault? Nils E. Stolpe/FishNet

It took me a while to decide how to most accurately describe the situation that has been visited upon the New England fishing communities that are and since colonial times have been dependent on the groundfish fisheries.

NILS STOLPE: The New England groundfish debacle (Part IV): Is cutting back harvest really the answer?

While it’s a fact that’s hardly ever acknowledged, the assumption in fisheries management is that if the population of a stock of fish isn’t at some arbitrary level, it’s because of too much fishing. Hence the term “overfished.” Hence the mandated knee jerk reaction of the fisheries managers to not enough fish; cut back on fishing. What of other factors? They don’t count. It’s all about fishing, because fishing is all that the managers can control; it’s their Maslow’s Hammer. When it comes to the oceans it seems as if it’s about all that the industry connected mega-foundations that support the anti-fishing ENGOs with hundreds of millions of dollars a year in “donations” are interested in controlling.
