PETA & Chips or Should Aquariums Serve Their Exhibits Cousins As Food?

 This in itself strikes as total hypocrisy to an organisation that espouses the rights of animals and speaks for “all the fish in the sea” but then decided to kill other species in proxy of their rights.

The People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) is not adverse to running campaigns that do very little to further animal welfare or conservation. The most recent example can be found in a letter these self-publicists wrote to the U.K.'s National Marine Aquarium in Plymouth.  The story was picked up by the Plymouth Herald and under the headline: "Plymouth's National Marine Aquarium Defends Decision to Serve Fish in Restaurants after Complaints from Animal-Rights Campaigners" the newspaper reported PETA's complaint regarding the ethics of fish being served to customers in the aquariums cafe.

PETA’s Dawn Carr's letter on behalf of “all the fish in the sea [sic] stated:
“The National Marine Aquarium advertises itself as a place where people can cultivate an understanding of and admiration for sea animals. Yet after inviting people to look on these glorious, fascinating animals in awe, it's odd that your café then invites people to stick a fork in them..."
Further it claimed that:
“... the seafood in your cafés is made from living sea animals who treasured life and were needlessly subjected to pain and fear..."
The aquarium rightly pointed out that all the fish served in their food outlets come from  recognised sustainable sources. 

It further stated:

“All fish and seafood served in the aquarium cafe is ethically sourced and MSC compliant...We have a robust purchasing policy in place that is proactive in sustainable and seasonal fish, ensuring we maintain the highest levels of sustainable fish sourcing practices possible.”
Dr David Gibson the aquarium's Managing Director further added that the aquarium aims to educate consumers on how best to source and eat fish and seafood responsibly.
“We’ve also spearheaded a number of initiatives, including helping Plymouth to win the world’s first Fish2fork Blue Fish award and our current campaign for Plymouth to become a Sustainable Fish City.”
So should aquariums not feed their customers fish?  Data collected in 2012 found that 2% of those surveys in the UK identified themselves as vegetarian with less than 1% reported following a vegan diet – a lifestyle that is promoted by PETA. (Source: The Vegetarian Society).

Ironically, some of those who identify themselves of vegetarian also admit eating fish as part of their diet. Further the number of people identifying as vegetarian seem to have declined slightly over recent years.

One interesting demographic from 2007 found that the highest number of vegetarians/vegans (
7%) were found to be 16-29 year old females. Now while many of these people have sincere beliefs in being vegetarian (for reasons of health or ethics as regards the rearing and killing of animals) it does not necessarily follow that they would support some of the extreme positions of groups such as PETA - for example their opposition to animals in aquariums and other zoological collections. Nonetheless, these are exactly the people PETA pursue as they believe they are more easy to indoctrinate to accept this groups own brand of animal rights ideology.

Going back to the above-cited data it is clear that vegetarianism in the UK is not representative of the general population with the majority consuming animal proteins (fish and/or meat) as part of their diet. Therefore, it would seem that there should be no issue in aquariums serving fish (or other animal protein) in their restaurants any more than it would be for them to offer vegetarian options so to be inclusive to all their customers.

Moreover (and as pointed out by the aquarium themselves) it would appear that an aquarium could be an obvious place to educate the public on fishing which would include issues of overfishing and the use of sustainable fishing techniques.

However, those who follow the behaviour of groups such as PETA are fully aware that this organisation really does not have any commitment to real animal welfare or conservation.

As an organisation they have been found guilty of annually killing large numbers of unwanted pet animals that could have been re-homed. This in itself strikes as total hypocrisy to an organisation that espouses the rights of animals and speaks for “all the fish in the sea” but then decides to kill other species in proxy of their rights. Moreover this is an organisation that has huge amounts of capital that could be used to re-house animals that have been abandoned but chooses not to do this.


One final point to ponder is that PETA admit they are absolutely against animals being displayed in aquariums and zoos. Yet when they wish to target aquarium visitors to further their vegan agenda they engage in a rather bizarre argument were the 'beauty and fascination' of the animals exhibited in the aquarium is of positive benefit.  Which seems to suggest they metaphorically want both their fish and eat it.

Sailfish

 

The Life of Animals | Sailfish | Both species grow rapidly sailboats, reaching 1.2 to 1.5 m (3 ft. 10 in.-4 ft. 10 in.) in length in a single year, and feed on the surface or deep medium and small pelagic feed on squid. This tactic has also been observed during feeding, when a group of sailboat sails use "herd" a school of fish or squid.


Sailfish are highly prized game and fish are known for their incredible jumps and high speed. They can be displayed in a surprising variety of brown and gray subjects purple and silver, too. Sailfish can change their colors change almost instantaneously controlled by the nervous system. The yacht can quickly turn his body blue with yellow stripes when excited, confusing its prey and making capture easier, while signaling its intention to sail colleague Sailfish are two species of fish in the genus Istiophorus living in warmer sections of all the oceans of the world.

The queen angelfish feeds primarily on sponges, but also feeds on jellyfish, tunicates and corals and plankton and algae. Young people serve as "cleaners" and feed on the parasites of larger fish at cleaning stations. Despite having in home aquariums, aquarium made for the queen angelfish diet of meaty foods and algae queen angels inhabit the reef base and are often located near the Florida Keys and Florida in particular, the Bahamas and the Gulf of Mexico.


Pairs reproduce by rising water, the wombs. Freely anywhere from 25 to 75 thousand eggs each night and up to 10 million eggs per reproductive cycle Eggs are transparent, dynamic and pelagic, floating in the water column. The size of the yolk sac is absorbed after 48 hours, during which the larvae develop normal characteristics of free swimming fish. Larvae are in the water column and feed plankton. The queen angelfish harass other fish without discrimination, in particular, the new additions to the aquarium.

Lake Sturgeon

 

The Life of Animals | Lake Sturgeon | The lake sturgeon (Acipenser fulvescens) is a freshwater fish in North America hot, one of about 20 species of sturgeon. The fish uses its elongated nose, like a shovel to mix the sand and silt in the beds of rivers and lakes in the diet. The fish is remarkable in part because of its interference lake size can achieve a total weight exceeding 190 kg (396 pounds) and a length of more than 3 meters (9 feet) along its long life. This species is found in southern Mississippi River basin in Alabama and Mississippi. It occurs in the Great Lakes and east of the St. Lawrence River to the freshwater limit. In the west it joins Lake Winnipeg and the North and South Saskatchewan River. This distribution is logical that all these policy areas in the Great Lakes were formed when glaciers retreated from North America at the end of the last glaciation (eg, Lake Agassiz, Lake Iroquois).


Lake disturb buds on and around its barbels near its rubbery lips, gripping. Since there are a large species that survives by feeding on very small species, their feeding ecology in relation to that of large marine animals such as whales, living in filter feeding. It interferes with a valuable food fish gourmet, and even the validity of certain products such as caviar and isinglass. Few people reach extreme old age or size than previous generations often. Today, limiting the fishing season for sturgeon permitted in some areas, including some locations in Minnesota, Wisconsin and Michigan. Sturgeon fishing is allowed on Black Lake in Michigan, for example, but fishing is limited to five total fish taken each year, more than 36 inches (910 mm) and in the ice with spears.


Fishermen in Minnesota has the opportunity to harvest a lake interferes calendar year between 45 and 50 inches of Rainy River and Lake of the Woods, to the Canadian border.

Sunfish

 

The Life of Animals | Sunfish | The tail fin of the sunfish is replaced by a rounded clavus, cut the creation of the various bodies. The ribs are small, fan-shaped, while the dorsal fin and the anal fin are lengthened, which is often high to fish as long. Although the sunfish came from bony ancestors, the skeleton contains largely cartilaginous tissues, which are lighter than bone, so that you grow the sizes impractical for other bony fish. The sunfish lacks a swim bladder. Sunfish for adults ranges from brown to gray silver or white, with a variety of models, mottled skin, some of these models may be specific to the region. Mola mola also shows the ability of the skin color varies from light to dark, especially if they are attacked.


More than 40 species of parasites in the skin and are internally, motivating the fish to seek relief in a number of ways. In temperate regions, the fields of algae float harbor cleaner wrasses and other fish, visit the parasites from the skin to remove sunfish. In the tropics, the mola cleaning recruits the help of reef fish. By basking on its side at the surface, the sunfish also allows that the birds feed on skin parasites. Sunfish were injury, reported to clean the surface by more than three lengths, possibly as a further attempt to remove parasites. In the course of its evolution disappeared the caudal fin (tail) of the sunfish, by a lumpy pseudo-tail, which are replaced clavus.


Is without a queue for providing forward thrust for forward motion and with only small pectoral fins, Mola Mola is based on his long, thin dorsal and anal fins for propulsion, on the same forward these fins from side to side. Sunfish often swim near the surface and its prominent dorsal fins are sometimes mistaken for sharks. Sharks, like most fish swim by the side of the tail stops while the dorsal fin. The ocean sunfish, but can identify changes in the dorsal fin and anal fin function in rowing motion used Although research suggests that early sunfish pulled drift with ocean currents, especially, people were swimming are 26 km in one day, for a maximum speed of 3.2 kilometers per hour Sunfish pelagic and swim at depths of up to 600 meters (2,000 feet) .


Sunfish are usually found in hot water at 10 ° C (50 ° F) for long periods in a water temperature of 12 spent ° C (54 ° F) or lower, disorientation and death.  Sunfish are usually alone, but sometimes in pairs or in larger groups, while cleaning. Sea lions seem sunfish hunt for sport, breaking fins, move around your body, and then just let the fish still alive, but not at the bottom of the sea to die. The mating practices of the sunfish are poorly understood, but spawning areas have been proposed in the North Atlantic, South Atlantic, North Pacific, South Pacific and Indian Oceans. Sunfish eggs are released into the water and were fertilized by the sperm. Sunfish newly hatched larvae are only 2.5 mm (0.098 in) in length. Many millions of times their original size before reaching adult proportions Sunfish fry, atypical with large pectoral fins, a tail fin and body spines of adult sunfish, miniature pufferfish, resemble their close relatives. Young sunfish school for protection, but this behavior is abandoned as they grow.


Despite their size, ocean sunfish are docile, and pose no threat to human divers. Injuries from sunfish are rare, although there was a small risk sunfish great leap out of the water in a boat, in a case raised a child from his boat when a sunfish leaped upon him. All parts of the sunfish used in the kitchen, ground, around internal organs. When the body does not contain toxins, marketing and distribution of sunfish meat in the European Union in the framework of Regulation (EC) No prohibited. Sunfish but often accidentally in fishing with drift nets, which captured a share of almost 30% of the total catch of swordfish with driftnets in the world of work in California. The detection rate is even higher for the Mediterranean swordfish industry, with 71% and 90% of the total catch sunfish. Bycatch of fishing and the destruction of ocean sunfish are unregulated worldwide.  Many areas of sunfish biology remain poorly understood, and research efforts are varied, including aerial photographs of mola populations, satellite monitoring with pop-off satellite tags, the genetic analysis of tissue samples, and the collection of amateur sighting data. Recent studies show a decrease in sunfish populations that may be caused by more frequent bycatch and the increasing popularity of sunfish in the human diet,

Blue Marlin

 

The Life of Animals | Blue Marlin | Tropical Blue Marlin in the world and the ocean waters, occurring both in the Atlantic and Indo-Pacific. The warm currents such as the Gulf Stream in the western Atlantic and the Agulhas Current western Indian Ocean serve as roads ocean of blue marlin and migration have a strong influence on the seasonal distribution. Individuals have a greater tolerance to higher temperature, and blue marlin found the limits of their range tend to be big fish. Some blue marlin is located in the extreme south of the continent, even though parts of Atlantic-Pacific is questionable, especially since a tagged fish in the western Atlantic was re-captured the island of Mauritius in the Indian Ocean.


In Pacific Blue Marlin are seasonally found as far north as southern Japan and south of the Bay of Plenty in the North Island of New Zealand. The blue marlin in the eastern Pacific migrate northward to southern California and south to northern Peru. The southern limit of its range in the Indian Ocean east seem to Albany and Perth, Western Australia, and the western Indian Ocean blue marlin were taken south of Cape Town. In temperate waters, warm currents interact with these structures is essential background to create the environmental conditions for fishing for blue marlin and hot water to another. Temperature breaks created bodies of hot and cold water are pushed against each other as a less tangible which attracts bait and fishing, including blue marlin.


Catch the greatest in the sport fishing record is £ 1805 Pacific Blue Marlin caught by a group of fishermen in Oahu, Hawaii on the charter boat commanded by Captain Cornelius Choy Coreene C (this fish often referred to as "monster Choy '). Commercial fishermen began much larger samples. Largest blue marlin early market of Tsukiji in Tokyo presumably weighed 1.106 kg mass. At least 1,000 pounds (450 kg) of fish, a "great", has historically been considered by fishermen to fish for blue and black marlin truly exceptional. For most Billfish fishing, the fish represents 1,000 pounds of fish life.


Blue marlin feeding eclectic use of a wide range of prey species and sizes. The scientific analysis of stomach contents of blue marlin have organisms as small as miniature filefish. Of greater interest for fishermen is the upper range of prey size blue marlin. The 72-inch white marlin was recorded as being found in the stomach of a blue marlin caught 448 pounds in Walker Cay in the Bahamas, and, more recently, in 2005, White Marlin Open a white marlin on 70 pound class are in the stomach of one of the blue stripes. Spearfish marlin 30 to 40 pounds have been reported as part of Kona Blue Marlin fishing source. Tuna of 100 pounds or more were also found in the stomachs of large blue marlin. Scientists distinguish two species of blue marlin, Atlantic Blue Marlin (Makaira nigricans) and Pacific Blue Marlin (Makaira Mazara).


Exceptionally beautiful blue marlin is the largest of the Atlantic marlins and one of the world's largest fish. Women are much larger than males, can reach 14 feet (4.3 m) long and weigh more than 1,985 pounds (900 kg). Native to tropical and temperate waters of the Atlantic, Pacific and Indian Oceans, Blue Marlin are among the best known of all fish. Cobalt blue is below the top and silvery white, with a distinctive dorsal fin and a long and deadly, spear-shaped upper jaw. They are called blue-water fish spend most of their lives at sea.

Lion Fish

 

The Life of Animals | Lion Fish | Pterois range in size from 6.2 to 42.4 cm, with a typical adult measuring 38 cm and weighing an average of 480 g. Youth Lionfish have a tentacle above single sockets of his eyes, ranging in phenotype among species. According to a study of the decomposition of more than 1,400 lionfish stomachs from Bahamas to the waters of North Carolina involved, Pterois prey mainly on small fish, invertebrates and shellfish in large quantities, with a number of copies of the stomach of more than six different prey types. The amount of Lionfish prey in stomachs during the day suggest that the most active feeding lionfish 7:00 to 23:00, with reduced power during the afternoon.


The lionfish, then spread their large pectoral fins and swallows its prey in a move singe researchers also noted that the jets blowing lionfish, while the prey approaching, apparently next to disorient the subject case of larger lionfish engaged in cannibalism in smaller individuals, identified adult lionfish have few natural enemies. Morays (family Muraenidae) Bluespotted horn fish (Fistularia commersonii) and large groupers, such as tiger grouper (Mycteroperca tigris) and Nassau grouper (Epinephelus striatus) were observed preying on lionfish. It remains unknown, but the question of how often these predators prey on lionfish. Sharks are also believed trapped in lionfish, without damaging their spines.


Park officials Marine Park Roatan in Honduras attempted to train sharks to feed on Lionfish in 2011 in an attempt to weed populations in the Caribbean, the arrival. Predators of larvae and juvenile lionfish remains unknown, but may be the main factor limiting the lionfish population in its own range. Lionfish parasites are rarely seen and is believed to have been frequent. They include isopods and leeches Lionfish are known for their venomous spines, a feature that is unusual among marine fish on the reefs of the east coast. The lionfish is a predator of the Indo-Pacific. The aggressive prey, small fish and invertebrates. Lionfish usually have a hostile attitude and are territorial to other reef fish.


 Two of the nine species of Pterois, the red lionfish (P. volitans) and the common lionfish (P. miles) have established themselves as a major invasive species on the east coast of the United States and the Caribbean. Approximately 93% of the population is invasive P. volitans. The red lionfish is found on the east coast of the United States and the Caribbean Sea, and was likely first introduced off the Florida coast in the early and mid 1990. It is also believed that lionfish were purposely discarded by aquarists displeased. The first documented capture of Lionfish in the Atlantic occurred in Dania Beach, Florida. In 2001, NOAA documented sightings of lionfish off the coast of Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina and Bermuda and the Bahamas were discovered in 2004.


Pterois volitans and Pterois miles are tropical and subtropical regions of southern Japan and South Korea to the east coast of Australia, Indonesia, Micronesia, Polynesia and the South Pacific. Pterois are known to devour many other aquarium fish. Pterois are unusual in that they are among the few species that successfully established populations in open marine systems. Extreme temperatures have limited geographic distribution of aquatic species, indicating that the temperature tolerance plays a role in the reproductive survival lionfish, range and distribution.


Pterois extended along the entire east coast of the United States occupied and suitable thermal zones within ten years, although the timing of observations points to the east coast of Florida, as the original source of the invasion of the western Atlantic, the relationship of the United States East Coast and Bahamas lionfish invasion is uncertain


The population of the invasive lionfish is growing very rapidly, and efforts are underway in several areas of control. However, the lionfish completely eradicate their new habitat seems unlikely. A study in 2010 with the population models used data collected on the known life history of the lionfish inhabit the coral reefs of the Caribbean to determine the best means to eradicate. The study showed that the most effective way to even maintain current lion population at least 27% of adults should be killed invasive monthly. In November 2010, the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary began issuing licenses for divers to kill lionfish in the sanctuary.


Serious and repeated removal of water penetrating the lionfish will need to gain control of exponentially growing populations of conservation in many eastern U.S. are organizing hunts for Pterois. Community organizations formed around the country hoping to stop the growing population lionfish. Based on average kills per dive, a diver can easily kill Lionfish 3000-4000 per year (3 dives per day, six days a week, averaging 4 + kills per dive). Many people are wary of the idea of eating a poisonous fish, fish fillets properly but is perfectly healthy to eat. Encourage the consumption of lionfish not only help maintain a reasonable population density, but also provide an alternative source for other fish stocks overexploited, like grouper and snapper.


NOAA calls the lionfish a delicious flavor, delicate fish "texture for grouper. Many recipes for lionfish can be found in cookbooks from the coast, including some fried lionfish, lionfish ceviche, grilled jerky lionfish and lionfish. NOAA is also planning to continue his "Fish as Food Lion" campaign, as human hunting, fish is the only known form of the current control. NOAA also encourages people to report lionfish sightings to help spread a better record keeping Lionfish have successfully completed the coastal waters of the Atlantic, pioneered in less than ten years and are a major threat to ecological systems reefs in these areas. An environmental impact caused by Pterois could their impact on population numbers of prey by directly affecting the relations of the food chain.
