Humpday Noods!
Today's #UnsolicitedNoods are brought to you by #Broccoli.
'Broccoli! There's no way to make it look as pretty as other vegetables, but it's still great.'
#Nongshim Spicy Seafood #ramen with a bunch of broccoli, #kale, #radishes, #scallions, #cilantro, #sardines, and smoked #oysters. Startin' the day off correctly.
... was going to say "starting the day off right" but that sounds kinda fascist these days. Sigh.
Tweemaal een maatje te groot voor Oisterwijkse #Oysters https://www.oisterwijknieuws.nl/2025/03/tweemaal-een-maatje-te-groot-voor-oisterwijkse-oysters/?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=mastodon
#WeekendReading: Rivas et al., on an Early #Cretaceous volcaniclastic–carbonate ramp in southern Chile. An interesting aperture into the Cretaceous temperate #carbonates (lots of #oysters) and their interactions in #volcanoes
I constantly find myself comparing and contrasting with these Late Cretaceous volcanic #atolls I worked on.

Could oyster blood help fight superbugs?
From @PopularScience: "A protein found in the blood (or hemolymph) of the Sydney rock oyster appears to kill bacteria, while also increasing the effectiveness of some of the antibiotics."
With #oyster leases along Australia's east coast under threat from the deadly QX disease there's some good news. Scientists have discovered new species of oysters that thrive in warmer waters and could be resistant to QX. They also have the potential to revitalize coastal communities with sustainable aquaculture. #queensland #oysters
« Mother Of Pearl » is built around the idea that divinely orchestrated challenges lead individuals to their fullest expression, like irritants cause oysters to yield pearls…

The state's oyster harvesting season will open up with limited harvesting areas on Friday after a season of severe storms battered an already struggling industry.
Can walls of #oysters protect shores against #hurricanes? #DARPA wants to know.
#Tyndall Airforce base will test a new way to protect shorelines from intensified waves and storm surges: a 50m array, made up of three chevron-shaped structures each weighing about 46,000lbs, can take 70% of the oomph out of waves, according to tests. But this isn’t your grandaddy’s #seawall. It’s specifically designed to be colonized by oysters, some of nature’s most effective wave-killers.

During my trip to Prince Edward Island last week I learned that some restaurants don't sever the adductor muscles on oysters. Apparently they want customers to be confident that the oysters are actually from that shell. Not sure how widespread that practice is, but one person said it was a "French thing." #oysters #bivalve #mollusk #food #restaurant #pei #PrinceEdwardIsland
#Seagrass-#oyster facilitation at risk under future #ocean conditions

Shifting seagrass-oyster interactions alter species response to ocean #warming and #acidification: Katherine DuBois et al. https://besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/1365-2745.14406
"When grown in co-culture, #oysters and seagrass have may offset the negative effects of #climate related stressors on one another... Under future ocean conditions with higher temperatures & lower pH, oysters’ positive impact on #eelgrass growth disappear"
“It’s hard to imagine the scale of the reefs that were lost,” says Dominic McAfee, a marine ecologist at Australia’s University of Adelaide.
Worse still, McAfee adds that “with the loss of those reefs, there was social amnesia that they ever existed. Very quickly, people forgot about them.”

In preparation for trip to Prince Edward Island, I'm dutifully reading Anne of Green Gables. Kind of a slog so far (I'm more a sci-fan). Somebody also gave me some great articles on oyster parasites, so that should be fun. Then need to find something on the island's geology. Will probably end up purchasing "Island at the Centre of the World: The Geological Heritage of Prince Edward Island." #PrinceEdwardIsland #PEI #geology #oysters #travel
I was thinking of wearing one of my #pearl #pendants in my next #boudoir #selfies and suddenly wondered about how #ethical saltwater #pearls are.
#Farming is usually inherently #abusive, and "[a]ccording to PETA, only around 50% of #oysters survive... The insertion of the nucleus into the oyster can damage the oyster's body, and the oysters are often kept in crowded conditions that can lead to #disease."
That's pretty messed up.
