Algae collected from Hoonah waters are shown under a microscope. Samples are collected and observed for Paralytic Shellfish Poisoning.

What kind of shellfish is that? Is it legal to show it to minors?

We started looking for oysters, heading out near the waterline to find palm-sized beauties with plump, creamy meat.

Some clam diggers found a half dozen or more after digging just one hole.

貝の付け出し。どの貝を知りませんけど。。。赤貝とかほっき貝のように見えます。

Shellfish tsukedashi - not sure which shell, it looks like either Hokkigai or Akagai.

Part of the seafood counter at Eataly.

Razor clams, scallops and langoustines in a Bordeaux market.

Steamed mussels that are then quickly tossed with smoking hot garlic, chili and paprika oil. Amazing.

CA SEA OTTERS: MONTEREY BAY

 

•Food & Foraging:

An otter must consume approximately 25% of its bodyweight in prey each day just to stay alive!

•A 75-pound otter can eat up to 1,500 sea urchins a day, or about 25 pounds of seafood (for a 75 pound kid, that would amount to eating 75 quarter pound hamburgers every day!).

•To meet its high energetic and thermoregulation demands, a sea otter’s metabolic rate is 2 to 3 times that of comparatively sized mammals.

•Sea otters consume a wide variety of benthic invertebrates. Prey items include sea urchins, abalone, crabs, mussels, clams, marine snails, marine worms, sea stars, and squid. In total, otters eat at least 50 species of benthic (bottom-dwelling) invertebrates, although individuals tend to specialize on only a few main prey types. Prey specialization and feeding preferences are passed on from mother to pup.

•The strong forelegs paws are used to locate and capture prey.

•Pockets of loose skin under each foreleg are used to store prey it has gathered on the seafloor for the ascent to the surface.

•Rocks are often used as tools to dislodge prey on the sea floor and to break open the hard outer shells of some prey items upon returning to the surface. Floating belly-up in the water, they place rocks on their chests and repeatedly pound hard-shelled prey against them to gain access the meat inside.

•While eating, an otter will roll repeatedly in the water to wash away food scraps from its chest.

•Unlike most other marine mammals, sea otters commonly drink seawater. Although most of the animal’s water needs are met through the consumption of prey, its large kidneys allow it to extract fresh water from seawater. Source: www.seaotters.com
