More than 100 dolphins died in Brazil last week, and a local governor has declared a state of emergency as experts say additional deaths could be expected. The
Brazilian Amazon continues to grapple with a severe drought. Experts say the most likely cause of the deaths in the lakes were high water temperatures, as temperatures have exceeded 102 degrees Fahrenheit in the Tefe Lake region. The Mamiraua Institute, a research group of Brazil’s Ministry of Science, Technology and Innovation, said additional dolphins were found Monday. Local media has reported thousands of fish have also died at Tefe Lake, which is...

A new study reveals that Methuselah, the world’s oldest aquarium fish, might be much older than we previously thought, possibly even more than 100 years old. Methuselah
is a female Australian lungfish, and she lives at the Steinhart Aquarium in San Francisco, California. She’s been a resident of the aquarium since way back in 1938, when she, along with over 200 other fish from Fiji and Australia, was sent to the U.S. Nobody at the aquarium has ever been completely sure about Methuselah’s age. However, up until now, experts believed she was around 84 years old, making her the oldest...

Sept. 21 (UPI) -- Road crews in Washington were left with "quite the mess to clean up" when a semi truck rolled over on Interstate 5 and spilled its load of fish across all the northbound lanes. The
Washington State Patrol said the semi overturned near mile marker 205 in the Arlington area Thursday morning and spilled fish across the roadway. "[Crews] will have quite the mess to clean up," the Washington Department of Transportation said on social media. All northbound lanes were closed for clean-up, but vehicles were being allowed to pass the scene on the shoulder. The driver...

New intravenous lipid nutrition cuts pediatric hospitalizations and infections (Available fish oil formula not being used over cheaper soy)
|

| Sept. 6, 2023 | Sarah Avery / Krista L. Haines et al
A formulation for intravenous nutrition that includes four lipid sources, including fish oil, reduced hospitalizations and urinary tract infections among pediatric patients. The
new multi-component lipid with fish oil—given to young patients with cancer, bowel conditions and other illnesses that prevent them from eating—has not been as widely used as expected after FDA approval a few years ago. Prolonged use of the older formulation of pure soybean oil has been associated with an increased risk of liver dysfunction and impaired immune function, which can lead to infections and other serious complications. Pediatric patients who received the four-oil lipid with fish...

US Envoy Feasts on Fukushima Fish, Slams China Water 'Dumps'

The US envoy to Japan feasted on fish from Fukushima on Thursday (Aug 31), saying that water discharged from the crippled nuclear plant was safer than that "dumped" by Chinese atomic facilities. China
banned all seafood imports from its neighbour last week after Japan began releasing wastewater from Fukushima into the Pacific Ocean, accusing Tokyo of treating the ocean like a "sewer". "Japan over the decade has done exactly the right things in the right way. International scientific rigour, fully transparent, and inviting the international community to monitor their progress cleaning the water," Ambassador Rahm Emanuel said as he visited...

At Manne’s Bakery in Revere, their chewy, cheesy, Sicilian-style pizza slices are the most popular thing on the menu. A far cry from the frozen, square variety once served up in schools.

An Australian man has been rescued in the Pacific after surviving for two months on rainwater and raw fish in what has been likened to the film “Cast Away” — but his companion was a dog, not a hand-printed volleyball. Sydney
resident Tim Shaddock, a 51-year-old cancer survivor, and his pooch Bella set off from La Paz, Mexico, in April on a catamaran journey to French Polynesia, but their vessel was damaged in a storm several weeks later, Australia’s 9News reported. The pair survived by drinking rainwater and eating raw fish as they waited for a miracle while adrift in...

Redtail garra fish have siskin and olive green scales that abruptly transition to bright orange and red along the tail, making them easy to spot at the bottom of clear streams. Credit:
Tangjitjaroen et al. (2023). With just a few clicks of a mouse, you can purchase your very own redtail garra, a type of fish that feeds on algae. Information about the fish's biology, however, is much less easily obtained. That's because redtail garra, although popular in the aquarium trade since the early 2000s, has until now been unknown to science. Researchers were peripherally aware of the fish's existence,...

7,000-year old fish traps excavated in Norwegian mountain lake – a race against time as the water is coming in

English version of forskning.no ^
| June 14, 2023 | Ida Irene Bergstrom
The four fish traps discovered by mountain hiker Reidar Marstein last summer consist of long poles that have been driven into the seabed. They
form the pattern of a fence that has guided the fish into a chamber. From there, Stone Age folks could easily use a fishing net to catch the fish they needed.Each chamber consisted of around 40-50 poles, and the archaeologists have found remains that are as much as 80 centimetres long. They are so well preserved that they 'might as well have been cut last year', they write enthusiastically on KHM's Facebook page.In the Norwegian mountains,...

Michel de Nôtre -Dame, better known by the Latinised name of Nostradamus, was a French physician, seer, astrologer, philosopher, alchemist, and mathematician, born in 1503. Although
he wrote 22 books throughout his life, he is best known for Les Prophéties, which was published in 1555. This famous work is a collection of 942 poems, quatrains, united in ten sets of verses (‘Centuries’) of 100 quatrains each, allegedly predicting future events and disasters. His writings have long been the subject of study and analysis by those determined to interpret the meanings hidden in his cryptic prophecies. According to Sky History, among...

Fatty fish consumption found to increase cell membrane fluidity (Plant-based Omega-3 (ALA) does not help)
|
| |
Medical Xpress / University of Eastern Finland / Nutrition, Metabolism and Cardiovascular Diseases ^
| June 12, 2023 | Arja T. Lyytinen et al
Eating fatty fish decreased the lipophilic index in people with impaired glucose metabolism or coronary heart disease, according to a study. The
lipophilic index is considered a marker of cell membrane fluidity, and a low lipophilic index indicates better membrane fluidity. A low lipophilic index was further associated with larger mean HDL particle size and higher concentration of large HDL particles, which suggests cardiovascular benefit. Previous studies have suggested that long-chain omega-3 fatty acids in fish have a beneficial effect on cardiovascular risk. Camelina oil is rich in alpha-linolenic acid, which is an essential omega-3 fatty acid whose associations with...
