How can we catch less, but eat more fish are seafood? ft.com/content/d670f37a-2f66… @MECCambridge @BBSRC @Cambridge_Uni #fish #seafood #NakedClams #salmon #food #sustainable

To save the oceans, start eating ‘naked clams’

People (and fish) need to consume this seafood rather than wiping out stocks of the ‘big five’

Still getting plenty of media interest in our #NakedClam paper 🪱🪵🌊 in Nature #sustainableagriculture. Check out my recent interview 📻 with @rte Radio, Ireland: rte.ie/radio/radio1/clips/22…
Are Naked Clams the seafood of the future?

Wow 😯. Our paper on the impact of ChatGPT 🤖 on academia 🎓 officially has 500 citations. We published it on the 13th of March 2023 (302 days ago) - so that's 1.65 citations per day 🚀. Excited to see how many it will get in 2024.

🎉🎉OGL's very own Rosie Poulin gave an amazing talk at SPNHC, about one of our most recent papers. She talked about how decreasing the acidity of the DNA preservative EDTA can improve the quality of DNA recovered. Watch here! youtube.com/watch?v=-Qq9S2WN… #DNA #Northeastern #SPNHC

“These animals destroyed [Christopher] Columbus’ fleet on his third voyage to the Americas, so they’ve literally changed the course of humanity” - @ReubenShipway More on the critters destroying timber pilings at the ports. northjersey.com/story/news/t…

Shipworms ravaged wooden sailing ships for eons. Now they're destroying NJ, NY wharves

The bivalve has returned to Newark Bay and New York Harbor thanks to cleaner water. The Port Authority is spending $180 million on repairs.

Could ‘Naked Clams’ soon be hitting our supermarket shelves and restaurants as a sustainable seafood?🌊🍽️   BES funded research led by @dwiller_1 & @ReubenShipway demonstrates the world’s first shipworm farming system, turning waste wood into food   @PlymUni @Cambridge_Uni 🧵

💬“Naked Clam aquaculture has never been attempted before. We’re growing them using wood that would otherwise go to landfill or be recycled, to produce food that’s high in protein ... with a really low impact on the environment” said @dwiller_1

Amazing work on using Teredinids (or naked clams) as a food source.
