Larvae turning leftovers into profits and jobs

Larvae turning leftovers into profits and jobs | Sandy Beach Ecology & Management | Scoop.it
Flies naturally swarm to discarded food, and in feasting on it extract the nutrients and energy, leaving nothing to waste.Glen Courtright, president and founder of EnviroFlight, has developed a system for turning fly larvae into food for fish. The company breeds black soldier flies and the eggs are collected. The larvae grow eating pre-consumer food waste and are then harvested and made into feed for the aquaculture industry

Charlie Dare's curator insight, July 25, 2013 1:30 AM

Producing fish food is good to know as one of the biggest costs to aquaculture and Aquaponics is feed costs ~ Also type of feed affects the quality of fish and Tilapia has shown bad health outcomes from being fed cheap corn feed.Omega 6 not 3 the later the more desirable fish oil~

There have been an unusually high number of shark sightings by scuba divers at La Jolla Cove this spring, with soupfins and sevengills the most visible. In fact, even when visibility is extremely poor, fairly large sharks can be seen.

GENESIS - GENEralized Model for SImulating Shoreline Change

PIRatE Lab's insight:

GENESIS (GENEralized Model for SImulating Shoreline Change) - simulates the long-term platform evolution of the beach in response to imposed wave conditions, coastal structures, and other engineering activity (e.g., beach nourishment).

Climate change threatens 82% of native California fish

Climate change threatens 82% of native California fish | Sandy Beach Ecology & Management | Scoop.it
KQED (blog) Climate change threatens 82% of native California fish USA TODAY Of 121 native fish species, 82% will plummet in number or disappear because they need cool, flowing water yet climate change is boosting temperatures and lessening stream...
PIRatE Lab's insight:

This is for FRESHWATER fish, but the point is well made.  The issue here (as with most of these cases) is the degraded/destroyed habitats of these fish put them in a precarious position from the get go.  Layering climate change onto this makes things even sketcherier.  This is particulalry true for our anadramous fish who transit or speand a good amount of their lives in our coastal streams and waterways.

 

We could easily add several brackish or marine fish to this list (the ones in our coastal estuaries)....such as tidewater gobies.  But that is a separate debate.

 

Good to know that all our "weedy," non-nativ invasive species will probably doo fine!
