I have become a #tinnedFish person.

I've been buying sustainably caught #sardines at #Costco for a while now, but I recently picked up some #wildPlanet #whiteanchovies and they are delicious! Not salty at all, very mild flavor and nice texture.

Now I want to try #herring

“Of aal the fish there iss in the sea,” said Para Handy, “nothing bates the herrin’; it’s a providence they’re plentiful and them so cheap!”

Neil Munro (1863–1930) – journalist, novelist, short-story writer, & poet – was born #OTD, 3 June. Rigby’s Encyclopaedia of Herring discusses Munro’s PARA HANDY stories, as well as giving the full text of the tale “The Herring – A Gossip”

The southern extent of the migration range of Norwegian herring has contracted northward, with potential consequences for survival of young herring and for species that predate the herring. The cause appears to be size-selective fisheries that have removed larger older fish, thereby impairing the collective memory of migration patterns.

Turns out #herring #culture was disrupted by overfishing to such a degree that they spawned elsewhere. This shows how important the social lives of these animals are. Their intelligence and social complexity is criminally undervalued...

The herring run in Brewster, MA. We thought the fish would be running, but apparently we were a week or so too early. #CapeCod #BrewsterMA #herring #herringrun #nature #fish #Massachusetts

Herring rebound will be limited by marine mammals, says study:

The seabed disturbance from trenching and turbine foundations could destroy essential spawning grounds for herring and sand eels, further destabilising the fragile marine food web.
What more needs to be proved to move this project to safer ground and protect the future of these ecosystems?

Sounds like Mr. 🥒 has made up an imaginary #pickle or red #herring in the form of #congestionpricing which has not hurt him https://nyc.streetsblog.org/2025/03/10/chinatown-business-owners-who-drive-to-work-say-wrongly-that-congestion-pricing-hurts-them?utm_content=bufferf4ce5&utm_medium=social&utm_source=bufferapp.com&utm_campaign=buffer

For #WorldWhaleDay I have a photo of an orca and gulls enjoying the herring spawn on the east coast of Vancouver Island. I took this photo last year during a private photo tour.

I offer group photo tours and also private ones during the herring spawn. Contact me for details or check my website: https://www.catherinebabault.com/workshops

Juvenile Pacific Herring.

Of many photos, this is 1 of mine I have on my wall. I found myself staring at it while listening to the news. I realized there was moisture in my eyes.

Fleeing fish? Or fragility united?
A powerful force having survived exploitation, error, greed, and diminishment.

Marine metaphors offer so much. Know your way in the storm. Do not lapse into passivity. There's so much that depends on the good you carry into the world.

"Red Herring as Culture" (August 2024)
___

"Culture is a Red Herring, a Figment of the Human Imagination".... Posted to my other socials (including to Instagram, Cara, Mastodon, Threads, Bluesky, Tumblr et cetera) on August 24th last year.

One of the evergreen academic debates in the humanities is the debate on whether Culture exists inside of, or outside of, the human mind. You can ask your nearest humanities or social sciences student to find out where the debate is currently at, I guess. The "Red Herring" argument is an example of culture, too I think.

Also at the time of my drawing this I found out that what we call sardines are actually adolescent/"teen-age" herrings, like so herrings and sardines are actually the same fish species. Or that sardines are a type of herring but not all herrings are sardines? Or something like that I don't know I'm no marine biologist I don't know nothing about nothing.

Illustrated drawing, raw-sketch style, of a red fish / red herring floating in the air with light rays emanating from it; a pair of hands below the fish is raised up seeming as if the hands are magically levitating the fish, or are raised up in prayer towards the fish. A hand-written caption below the fish says, "Culture is a red herring; a figment of the human imagination…"

#Evolution of fast-growing fish-eating #herring in the #Baltic Sea

https://www.eurekalert.org/news-releases/1068905 #science #ecology

A subpopulation of herring in the Baltic Sea has evolved to consume other fish rather than plankton. This genomically distinct population is larger, fatter, and has lower tissue dioxin concentrations than planktivorous herring in the Baltic. These fish may be filling a niche that is occupied by mackerel and tuna in the Atlantic, but which are absent from the Baltic.
