While I don’t read any comment on Hacker News, I’m really pleased by the quality of exchanges on lobste.rs, also in private messages.

It seems that the invite-only mechanism and strong moderation to keep stuff on topic is working well. Thank you lobsterians…

PS: yes, I can invite you if you ask nicely and send me an email address. I can also invite you on the smaller and cozier tilde.news (where I would like to see more discussions).

#Lobsters have been on my mind for a while.

Why?

They were employed by #JordanPeterson to support his argument that hierarchies were natural and not socially constructed, and that human males were in need of a discourse that didn't pathologise their behavioural tendencies.

I am interested in his use of the lobster as a metaphorical role-model for human males.

Did you know that #France & #Brazil almost went to #war over #lobsters?

In the 1960s, the French had lost most of their colonies & started having trouble meeting fishing quotas. They turned to Brazilian waters.

France's interference in the Brazilian maritime space led to a diplomatic battle.

Then the two Navies got involved & soon, all mobilised for a true war.

The US & UN had to intervene & in December 1964, Brazil granted France lobster rights IF they shared profits.

They did.

This is an old black-and-white photo of the 'Lobster War'. It was taken off the coast of Brazil in 1963. The photo shows an aeroplane, a Brazilian Air Force Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress, flying over a French Navy escort vessel called Tartu. The plane is a medium-sized four-engine aircraft with a propeller at the front. It has a prominent "hump" at the back end of the plane. The colour appears light, probably white. The ship in the ocean is a large military vessel, with a narrow built horizontally and various things attached to the top. it is hard to tell what those things are but as it is a navy vessel, one can assume weapons and ammunition. The water is relatively calm looking with few waves.

During the 1700s lobsters were so plentiful that they used to wash ashore on Massachusetts beaches in piles up to 2 feet high. Lobsters were considered the “poor man’s chicken” and primarily used for fertilizer or fed to prisoners and slaves. Some indentures servants even revolted against being forced to eat the meat and the colony agreed that they would not be fed lobster meat more than three times a week. #lobsters

Sea urchins: A surprising delicacy for sharks phys.org/news/2024-10-sea-urch paper: frontiersin.org/journals/marin

"#Lobsters are widely accepted as the key predator of #SeaUrchins, and this information has informed management strategies to control exploding #SeaUrchin numbers that threaten temperate #reefs... In a new study, a camera was set up in a #lobster den and sea urchins were strategically placed in it. Surprisingly, the majority of the sea urchins were eaten—not by lobsters—but by #sharks."

104-year-old has been catching lobsters for more than 90 years: ‘I’m not going to retire’.

At 104 years old, Virginia Oliver plans to set sail and continue doing the job she’s loved for over 90 years: catching lobsters.

Oliver, known in Maine as the “Lobster Lady,” renewed her commercial lobster license just in time for lobster-catching season

Good Morning #Canada
#RoadTrip season has only just begun, and there are lots of freakishly large random objects to take a selfie with. This installment of #BigStuffInSmallTowns takes us to Shediac, New Brunswick, the Lobster Capitol of Canada. This means you won't be shocked to find a 90-ton lobster waiting patiently for a photo op. The sculpture is 11 metres long by 5 metres tall, and attracts 500,000 seafood loving tourists annually.

Scientists Find Pristine Ecosystems on High-Seas Seamounts
schmidtocean.org/scientists-fi

"scientists observed 160 species on the Salas y Gómez Ridge that had not yet been known in the region and suspect that at least 50 of them are new to science. These are #squid, #fish, #corals, #mollusks, #SeaStars, glass #sponges, #SeaUrchins, crabs, and squat #lobsters, amongst others. They set a record for sighting the deepest-known #photosynthesis-dependent animal in the world: #Leptoseris, a wrinkle #coral."
