This week, we'll briefly discuss how to cook and store shellfish according to…

Threats and the future of Shellfishing Cape Cod has changed dramatically over the years, and because of these changes, there are serious impediments happening to the shellfish aquaculture expansion (Brennessel, 2008). The most important threat that is occurring presently is water quality. Years of increasing population with concomitant residential development, unaccompanied by wastewater infrastructure has resulted in nitrogen pollution (Ashworth, n.d.). On the cape, around 85% of the…

years. Shellfishing is a major contributor to Massachusetts economy, and Cape Cod’s coastal economy also relies on recreational and commercial shellfishing, as well as the tourist and seafood industries (Ensuring a Shellfish Future, Maggio, 2015). On Cape Cod, the commercial shellfish aquaculture supports 1,400 jobs, 17,000 recreational harvesters (Legere, 2015) is valued at $12.5 million annually, and the demand for oysters and clams is growing annually (Fishermen's Alliance, 2015). In fact,…

poisoning? Based on those symptoms, which dinoflagellate do you think is responsible for the outbreak? A bloom of dinoflagellates can change the water color colloquially known as red tide. Red tide can infect shellfish and cause shellfish poisoning if people eat the bad shellfish. Some symptoms of shellfish poisoning are nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea Explain how an HAB outbreak can have a devastating economic impact. There would be a bad impact on Recreation and Tourism, and the fisheries…

believes is, “what is dear to the gods is pious, what is not is impious,” which follows the constitutive belief (Plato 11). One who is in support of the evidential theory believes that God makes commands because they are right. Those who believe that shellfish and murder have the same moral status would support the constitutive belief and follow the commands solely because God says to, rather than having a good reason to such as protecting our safety and…

diarrhea, palpitations, and anxiety, and more severe reactions are rare but have been reported. In most healthy patients, the symptoms are self-limiting. Other forms of seafood poisoning are various types of shellfish poisoning such as Paralytic Shellfish Poisoning (PSP), Neurotoxic Shellfish Poisoning (NSP), Amnesic…

elsewhere is absorbed by our oceans. Ocean acidification is caused by just that, the quarter of carbon dioxide that still remains from our atmosphere being taken in by the ocean’s surface layer. When carbon dioxide that hits the ocean’s surface layer combines with seawater, some of the carbon dioxide reacts with the water to from carbonic acid. Carbonic acid separates into hydrogen ions and bicarbonate ions. Then, hydrogen ions combines with carbonate ions forming more bicarbonate ions which…

out how will this affect life in the ocean, and how to save it. Since Fukushima dumped the radiation in the ocean scientists have done many comprehensive studies on the marine life. Through these studies they found that many of the seals and shellfish are suffering from blood cancer. Infact since japan's plant spilled the radiation the amount of marine animals with blood cancer has doubled.…

TO DANGEROUS NEUROTOXINS IN SHELLFISH Thanks to global warming the whole earth, even the oceans are heating up. This is having many new and potentially life-threatening changes for both ocean life and humans. A mysterious, potentially deadly neurotoxin has been found in many new shellfish. Phytoplankton produces a natural acid called Domoic acids which in small doses it's harmless. However, when it is produced in excess it becomes poisonous to people. "The shellfish that eat these algae blooms…
