@meerlala #Eel populations have collapsed so dramatically that conservationists are calling for a ban on consumption:

@meerlala Indeed! I wonder why the rich ceased to enjoy eating #eels in the #19thCentury - snobbery presumably?
& it is shocking how many foods then cheap enough for everyman have become #CriticallyEndangered.
🙏 @greenleejw for your fascinating insights into both history & ecological change - & your usual #GreatAltText!

Eel Remains High-Priced Luxury in Japan Despite Some Recovery in Supply
https://www.nippon.com/en/japan-data/h01725/
> Eel is a traditional summer food in Japan, but overfishing led to the Japanese eel being designated as endangered.

Dumaguete Day #1 is in the books and wow did we have some awesome critters to kick things off. The stars today were the ribbon eels (we saw 3 on the middle dive), the many species of shrimp, crabs, and anemonefish covering every anemone, and the two species of mantis shrimp we spotted on the last dive.

A first for me; this #GreyHeron landed in #VictoriaPark with an #eel for lunch. Probably caught in the adjacent #Connswater #river it played with the eel for a couple of minutes then swallowed it.
Great to watch!

I present to you the most terrifying #TruckStopSnack I’ve ever seen. Spotted at a truck stop in #SouthEastAsia, I’m not sure if it’s a #fish, #eel or #snake. While I can always use content for future episodes of #ChrisWhyWouldYouEatThat, I wouldn’t even know where to start with this.

The 6 main characters of my KAS Project series, getting close and intimate together! I love all these guys, and maybe someday I'll get around to telling their stories properly, but for now, you can still enjoy porn of them.

Posting some critters from recent #scuba dives. This dives was off Kona, Big Island #Hawaii. This is, I believe, a yellow margin moray #eel. I wasn't as close as the video appears.....4k video w/ cropping & zooming looks pretty good edited down to 1080. Half speed - it opens its mouth to breathe.

It's been a while since @PanScolipede is no longer here with us in this world. I'm sure in his spirit form is here with his hand on shoulders. We may not see him but he's here to say "everything will be okay" to ensure we are not alone as we are moving on and stay strong.
