Tuna

Evidence for commercial fishing points to around 1,000 BCE. Off the coasts of Gadir, fishing was ideal. There were six foot bluefin tuna to be caught, leading to the creation of Fish Sauce which has appeared in recipes for thousands of years. Chapter 3: Fewer Fish in the Sea Even with all the technology in the world, fishing boats still operate at baseline. They are struggling more

The earliest records of the human race capturing marine animals, specifically fish, dates back over 40,000 years to the Upper Paleolithic time period (Endangered). Initially, fishing and harvesting aquatic animals was for the sole purpose of survival and means of finding food. Fast forward 40,000 years and fishing has shifted from a necessity to big business, wiping out the majority of oceanic resources and setting the marine apocalypse for the year 2048, when ecologists predict all species of fish

Labelling, as will be seen in this paper, have affected the relations between Mexico and United States of America in tuna exports, which is considered as an environmental issue because the supposed dolphin fishing by Mexican producers. Therefore, it will be pertinent to discuss the implications of what it will call eco-imperialism. For this purpose it has been chosen

Purchasing - Storing Seafood   “As of 2008, fish and shellfish were more likely to cause foodborne-illness than any other category of food product says Colorado farm to market.” There’s a vast world of food borne illness when it comes to seafood being both causes of and types of illness. That being, I find it important to further research the proper purchasing and practices for safe seafood. Throughout this paper I’ll discuss the best purchasing and handling for seafood to minimize risks

Sometimes, people try to keep something that means a lot to them, whether it is something as small as a ¨memoir¨, which is a token of friendship. In the novel The Young Man and the Sea by Rodman Philbrick, a little twelve year old boy named Samuel Beaman displays this throughout the book. The biggest conflict that he has is the fact that he needs to try and earn money himself because his father is too depressed and drunk since his wife (Samuel's mom) passed away. Since Skiff is stuck in a situation

Fish, one of the worlds’ leading food source in all regions of the world, but what if one day that food source was to deplete so drastically that one could no longer use it as a food source? What would happen to the people that rely solely on this source? What would happen to the people that relied on catching fish as a job? What would happen to the worlds’ economy? These are only a few questions that should be a concern in the result of Overfishing. The ocean is a big and mass world living among

This photo from the World Wildlife Fund is a part of a series of similar photos. In these other photos the bluefin tuna is wearing rhinoceros and gorilla masks. For some reason these pandas and other creatures are the “mainstream” endangered animals. People seem to care more about these animals even though the bluefin tuna is actually in more danger. But, why? Is it because they are cuter? Nicer? More known? This photo makes me angry. Not only are we the reason that these animals are going extinct

Mid-term Project: Ocean Activities Humans are killing the oceans, or are they? There are many opposing viewpoints to the controversial topic of human activities effects on the oceans and its ecosystem being displayed on social media. According to Louise Gerdes the author of Endangered Oceans: Opposing Viewpoints It is not difficult to find different opinions (9). There are many different outputs of media that have different points of view and it can be extraordinarily difficult in deciding which

The Spinner dolphin is a dolphin that is found in offshore tropical waters around the world. It is famous for its acrobatic displays in which it spins along its longitudinal axis as it leaps through the air. That is where the name “Spinner” comes from. It is a family member of the Delphinidae of toothed whales. There are 4 subspecies of the Spinner dolphin. But, the Gray’s Spinner dolphin is most common. Spinner dolphins are nocturnal, which means they hunt during the night. They do that so they
