my Armadillo officinalis “Spain” colony is thriving, although they are very slow-growing. one of the few isopods that spends much of its time conglobated and not clinging to cover objects
Conglobated, conglobated, conglobated!
Conglobated, conglobated, conglobated!
Certified pest and proud about it.
Important: This fishy boy is a sturgeon ^^^ please help save them, there are twenty-five species and most of them are critically endangered. Look up what you can do to help your local sturgeon today! They are lovely and can live up to sixty years. They are as old as the dinosaurs.
The dinosaurs died because of heat from an asteroid, and now millions of autistic and ADHD children must live their lives starved of meaning. Do not let history repeat itself, friends.

Sturgeon post (Acipenseridae)
Hello people and welcome to Fish Freak Friday, this time on Monday. This is a sturgeon:
Fossils of these lil lads first appear in rocks which date back to the middle Jurassic, being related to the paddlefish. The family of surgeons has around 29 species, native to the northern hemisphere.
Not only do they look goddamn amazing and stunning, they are also anadromous, which means they travel from salt to fresh water in spring, spawning upriver from the ocean, similar to salmon.
Now get this; They live up to 60 years in the wild, only starting to spawn at 20!
And yet, they are being readily overfished, regardless of the length of their life cycle, which means that restoration of a declining population would be hard to achieve if the overfishing continues.
Please, as a fish freak calling out to all other fis freaks, help save the sturgeon, because by Cthulhu we have no right to wipe them out after all they've survived to get to the twenty-first century.

Obligatory salmon fanboy post
Lads, chads, brads and bernaddettes,
Once again I have come to remind you that fish farming is not automatically better than wild-caught fish.
Letters sent to two accreditation schemes say pollution is contributing to the extinction of a critically endangered fish species
To summarise, in this specific harbour, salmon farming is causing pollution which is harmful to the Maugean skate, the population of which has dropped by nearly half. And since I know my fellow fish freaks love the ancient archaic wondrously amazing Maugean skate as much as I do, have a picture:

Of course, other issues such as rising harbour temperatures and blockage of natural river flow contribute as well, but when eating/buying farmed fish, please be aware of what the ecological consequences may be. Now, this is not to say that wild-caught fish is a great idea either. Wild-caught fish are terrible for a host of reasons, such as trawling, bycatch, pollution, overfishing and so on; and it is worth keeping in mind that a lot of wild fish is used in the fish feed of farmed fish.
TL;DR
Farmed fish and wild-caught fish can be two sides of the same coin, always do research before trusting sustainability accreditations.
Some things you could do, if interested:
Look out for related petitions to sign.
Go to protests, if it's safe to do so where you live.
Inform those around you, and ask them to be more conscientious.
Consider limiting your food choices away from fish.
Sorry I just don't think celebrating anyones death is a decent thing to do. You all want compassion and empathy when it suits you but are out here literally salivating over someone dying.
I don't care care who they are, what they did etc. it's inhumane to celebrate someone's death.
We are meant to be an advanced civilisation, give it a rest.
Again from the top
