🤔Wondering ...
🦞How #seafood is produced?
🚢Where it comes from?
🌍Is it good for the people and planet?
@NeptunusProject have some of the answers

New evidences to help policies & consumers on the risks & benefits of #fish consumption. Fish provides protein & other nutrients important for health, but benefits & effects depend on overall diet, characteristics of consumers, & the fish that is consumed

Estamos à procura de candidatos para bolsa de investigação no @ipma_pt no projeto "CLEANFISH - Novas estratégias para a produção sustentável de peixe celular" para trabalhar com #LCA de impactos ambientais de peixe da pesca, aquacultura e laboratório

Já temos os primeiros filetes de robalo cultivados em laboratório! O próximo objetivo será testá-los por um painel de consumidores e quantificar seu custo ambiental com Avaliação de Ciclo de Vida (#LCA) no @ipma_pt

"A petinga é a prova da nossa impaciência e da nossa estupidez: temos pressa em comer um peixe de que não gostamos, para impedir de chegar à idade adulta o peixe de que mais gostamos."

Novas recomendações para o consumo de pescado em 🇵🇹 dizem que deve ser até 7x/semana. Mas isto é o máximo. Não me parece que seja sustentável reproduzir isto à escala global. O consenso geral é de pelo menos 2x/semana (com 1 peixe com elevado ómega-3).

"...interbreeding between farmed and wild fish produces offspring that mature faster and younger, undermining the ability of the species to reproduce in nature." Together with the sea lice, these factors contribute to the wild Atlantic salmon drop.

A final eu ate estava enganado. Eu pensava que o financiamento público em ciência se tinha mantido a níveis de 2009 mas a final esta abaixo do que era em 1991. Isto chegou a fundo e se juntamos vamos passar 2 anos sem financiamento de novos projetos da FCT.Como segurar o talento?
"empresas que empregam mão-de-obra uigur exportaram recentemente centenas de carregamentos de produtos do mar para + de 80 empresas europeias". O pescado que é processado na China precisa de maior transparência, a certificação ambiental não é suficiente.

New paper out covering the contribution of glass jar packaging to the environmental assessment of canned #seafood 🎇✌️ 1/3

🗨️Glass jars contribution was half compared with metal cans 🥫🐟
🗨️In climate change impact category, the production of ingredients was the life cycle phase with highest contribution in the 4 products followed by primary packaging 2/3
Despite everything, there is still some scrutiny in scientific publications, and it launches a good opportunity to raise scientific discussion about understudied topics!
🚨New post 🚨 Do you remember the headlines that claimed fishing had the same carbon emissions as all of airline travel? The paper they were based on was recently shown to be wildly inaccurate. Here's the story: sustainablefisheries-uw.org/…

This was taken in 2016 in the Arctic Ocean. I was inspired by eight million voices from around the world calling for Arctic protection.
Today is Earth Day and there's still an urgent need of help to support the work in the environmental movement.

"Os rios e oceanos são uma fonte alimentar valiosa, com organismos ricos em nutrientes e com menos impacto ambiental do que a maioria da carne criada em terra. Mas há formas de reforçar este recurso."

Voluntary certification or mandatory labelling? "CarbonCloud may come closest to a standardized method of assessing carbon emissions of our food, but ultimately the only thing that is really going to make a difference...is a climate label on the products."
