Comment on Is it wise to ‘mow’ our kelp forests??? by Save the snot eels! | Science-Life

[...] The reason these species (think seahorses, cat’s eyes and sea anemones) are not in the QMS is because they are not considered to be desirable as fishery targets. But as times change, so do appetites for the weird and wonderful. For example, the Ministry of Fisheries has recently entered giant kelp into the QMS, as there is potential for the kelp to be used as feed in paua farms and in the pharmaceutical industry. I have blogged on this contentious issue previously. [...]

Comment on Otago Harbour in a red frenzy by Brendan Moyle

To be honest I haven’t heard a lot of discussion about the possible drivers of the Munida aggregations. They are at the whim of the oceanographic conditions, so it is possible that changes in local currents, water temperature or nutrient conditions may be responsible. Perhaps it’s related to the El Nino Southern Ocean Oscillation? Does anyone else have any thoughts to add?
