This week, people have been discussing if eating #oysters conflicts with following a plant-based diet.
Today, we’re taking a look at the definition of sentience and #veganism—and at animal species that have been proven to be more sentient than humans used to think. 👇1/14

Although there is legal and scientific disagreement about #sentience, there are some standards that are broadly accepted.
According to @SentienceInst, sentience is simply the ability to have positive and negative experiences, including pain. 2/14

The concept of animal #sentience is important for ethical reasons.
If #animals are sentient beings capable of feeling pain, most humans would agree that it is morally wrong to cause unnecessary pain or suffering to them. 3/14

June 8 marks #WorldOceanDay.
We honor this day by highlighting the need to protect marine life from human #fishing activities—a step that has the potential to both tackle biodiversity loss and the ongoing climate crisis. @WorldOceansDay👇 1/10

Ocean ecosystems are vital since oceans:
🗺️ make up 70% of Earth’s surface
🫁 produce 80% of the oxygen we breathe
🐠 house 80% of all life on Earth
At the same time:
🎣98.5% of the #ocean is open to fishing fleets

Animals play a crucial role in maintaining a healthy #environment. For example:
- beaver dams prevent fires
- squirrels help trees take root
- #fish feces can lock carbon away for 600 years
- elephants create water sources for other species

毎年少なくとも5000万匹の #サメ が商業漁業で混獲として殺されています。 過去数十年でサメの90％が失われました。 シーフードを食べることは、サメや他の #sealife の殺害の一因となります。

🚨New in @PNASNews! We demonstrate that aquatic #biodiversity directly benefits humanity via nutritional benefits of #seafood.

@mioconnor and I bridge the gap between #biodiversity science and human nutrition science & demonstrate mechanistic links between aquatic #biodiversity and human nutritional well-being in the context of #AquaticFoods.
We answer one of the most pressing questions in ecology:
Does biodiversity per se (species richness and ecological functional diversity), distinct from the identities and abundance of species enhance human well-being?

THREAD - What happened at the Huanan #seafood market?
The @WHO report is quite clear on this point: #SARSCoV2 might have jumped from a wild animal sold in this market and maybe other markets in #Wuhan. But what do we know exactly? 1/15

After all this time, the Huanan seafood market still remains the main suspect for a simple reason: most of the early cases had visited at least one market in Wuhan city, and several of them visited the Huanan market. 2/15
According to the report, 10,000 people visited this place every day, making it a perfect setting for an #outbreak. One might argue: what about the cases without market exposure? Good question! 3/15

There has been much action lately around #seafood #traceability, and last weekend I was eating #BlueHarborFishCo Albacore #Tuna - and noticed the claim on the can that they could track all the way back to the boat, and had a @MSCecolabel on the can. #fishery 1/n
I was interested if a company could really go all the way back to the boat, so I looked on the blueharborfishco.com web site for fishing boat information. Here it discussed @MSCecolabel and that the trace back is "to a certified sustainable source and #fishing practice" 2/n
I was getting suspicious - #seafood #traceability back to the boat? I thought I would check the @MSCecolabel web site for information about this #Tuna #fishery - only 1 MSC web page has the MSC-C-54143 code, and that is a 279 page report that mentions this code 1 time 3/n
Canned #seafood #mercury concentration results from class experiment are in & were as expected. Hg in ppm, wet weight w (SD), n=3 cans for each:
Clams: 0.01 (0.001)
Salmon: 0.013 (0.001)
Chunk light tuna: 0.059 (0.017)
Albacore tuna: 0.28 (0.041)
So what does this mean?

We found what was expected based on recommended lists
Albacore levels similar to published studies, all of which typically show this fish w higher and much more variable Hg than FDA risk assessment and publication. ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/m/pubmed/15364…
