WHY AREYALL DOING THIS
Weāre all having a midlife crisis leave us be
hey
fuck you LOL
So every year, my aquarium does a captive lobster hatchery project (hence all the loblings). The reason weāre doing it is because in the wild, loblings only have a 1 in 25,000 chance of surviving their larval phase. Theyāre plankton as babies and everything eats them. Additionally, as the Gulf of Maine warms, they are having even lower survival rates because the blooms of copepods they feed on as babies are happening earlier in the year, and theyāre missing it.
Obviously, the goal of this experiment is to grow the lobsters until theyāre big enough to settle to the seabed and then release them, because they have a much higher likelihood of surviving to adulthood when theyāre able to hide. Ideally, captive lobster hatcheries can boost the wild population and keep things stable, so we donāt have a major crash in a decade or two.
The first year we tried this was pretty bad. We had a lot of eggs, but very few babies. It turned out that the CO2 levels in the building spiked as more guests visited throughout the summer, and that settled into the water and threw off the pH and caused a chemical reaction that prevented a lot of the eggs from hatching. I think we ended up releasing three baby lobsters (which is still better than their wild survival rate but not great).
The second year was a little better. We added a de-gasser to the aquarium and got a ton of larval lobsters, but right as they were settling to the bottom we had a disease outbreak that killed most of them. We ended up releasing four babies at the end of the season.
But this year? Oh boy. We have so many lobsters that we had to release the first round early (usually we wait till September or October so guests can see them). We just released a total of FIVE HUNDRED AND TWENTY FIVE baby lobsters, and we still have over a hundred who havenāt settled to the bottom yet. I genuinely donāt even have words to explain how cool this is. OVER FIVE HUNDRED. We just added hundreds of lobsters to the wild population that wouldnāt have been there otherwise.
Conservation is so fucken sick
the same jacket he wore to the 2019 double or nothing press conference⦠lies down in the dirt.
unsure if anyone posted this here already, but a lot of folks have asked about the line, āafter all these years i can hear his words coming back to meā¦iām going to have to find something else to do.ā
the line, āyouāre going to have to find something else to doā is a callback to an interview Hangman did with Jim Ross in 2019, where, if you can see in the thumbnail, he is wearing the same black suit jacket and a white shirt.
the person who said these words to Hangman was his father, and it was during an anecdote about how his father told him he wasnāt going to stay in the tobacco business like the rest of his family. that he was going to have to find something else to do. it is another reference to Hangmanās new beginning.
a reminder that this was also right before his match against Chris Jericho at All Out to become the inaugural AEW menās world champion. months after he made the promise at the press conference that he would become the first world champion. it is a promise that he ultimately did not keep.
LOCK IN LOCK IN LOCK IN.
