#european pilchard

[majorshatterandhare]

My brain always reads “Pilchard” as “Plick-urd” (because they don’t say it in the song; it took me far too long to realize the I and L are switched) so I looked it up and you really just say it exactly like it’s spelled.

Anyway, a pilchard is a fucking sardine! And apparently sardines are in the same family as herrings.

I can’t say the “I” adjective at the beginning of that song title, either. Ignominious. I just forget which letters are in it. It means “deserving or causing public disgrace or shame.”

@ofliminalities you need to eat better. [yuko to valvatorez if you're still accepting.]

A pensive humming can be heard from the shocked vampire, normally such an accusation could be taken personally yet he reasoned that it wouldn’t be done lightly. Sometimes people can offer insights that escape one’s views and offer valuable advice. ❝ You may be right, I should expand my repertoire. ❞ he acquiesced with a nod. ❝ I should look into finding more reliable supplies of more species of sardines! Only the European pilchard is considered the true sardine, but it includes a large array of species compressing of 21 species that fits the criteria. ❞ with a fluster of his cape, he must remark ❝ However! Sprats are often marketed as sardines, like the “brisling sardine”, that one is an impostor ! I shall have none of this nonsense ! ❞

sardines

Kingdom: Animalia Phylum: Chordata Class: Actinopterygii Order: Clupeiformes Family: Clupeidae Number of Species: 21

Sardines are a group of herring fishes that encompass five distinct genera and at least 21 unique species. One of the most common sardines used in cooking and food preparation is the Pacific Sardine, also known as Sardinops caeruleus.

Sardines are small fish that typically do not exceed 12 inches in length and can weigh as little as three ounces each. However, some larger herring varieties, such as the American Shad, can reach as much as seven pounds in weight.

European fisheries refer to these fish as pilchards. In fact, the UK and other European nations define them as juvenile pilchards that are less than 6 to 12 inches in length. Other varieties include the South American Pilchard, the Bali Sardinella and the Indian Oil Sardine.

These fish all have silvery scales and one small dorsal fin. They swim in large schools that can stretch for miles. They are found in almost every area of the world including the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, the Mediterranean Sea, the Dead Sea, the waters around Morocco and other nations.

European children back to school amidst virus fears

European children back to school amidst virus fears

[ad_1]

PARIS: French pupils go back to school Tuesday as schools across Europe open their doors to greet returning pupils this month, nearly six months after the coronavirus outbreak forced them to close and despite rising infection rates across the continent. Many teachers and parents are worried the reopening of schools will accelerate the spread of Covid-19, but governments have insisted it…

ok but if one were to try the mechs, where should they start 👀👀

oooo ok so they have four main albums:

the bifrost incident (norse mythology, on a train in space and told from the perspective of an inspector trying to piece together a story based on a bunch of corrupted security camera footage)

once upon a time in space (retelling of european fairytales but in space (space is a running theme) and sci fi)

high noon over camelot (arthurian legends but western and, u guessed it, in space)

ulysses dies at dawn (greek myths in a world pretty similar to cyberpunk)

any of these are great to start with, it mostly just comes down to personal preference!! if u don't want something as long or plot heavy as a full album id recommend the songs the ignominious demise of dr pilchard (just a cool and fun story that sums up the dynamic of the mechs characters pretty well) lucky sevens (the backstory of the character ashes plus the song Slaps) or holder of the GRAIL (from hnoc but also reads as a smaller story within a story and it's one of my favs)

alternatively if u would rather watch something than listen to it, this concert is my favorite and has a lot of funny lighthearted banter between the band members/characters:

https://youtu.be/9eYALygp32w

and last thing i promise lmao but if u want more info this post is really great at explaining the mechs!! 

https://gaybrielnohomo.tumblr.com/post/626175178966204416/so-youve-heard-about-the-mechanisms-but-have-no

i know i gave a lot of options fbkdhf but i hope this helps!! also if u do check them out feel free to hmu id love to hear what u think 👀👀

Osteoporosis and diet

Osteoporosis

Osteoporosis is a bone disorder that causes low bone mass and deterioration of bone structure, and occurs when bone reabsorption outpaces formation. This leads to an increased risk of fractures that can occur with minor stress or even spontaneously. After the bone heals, the person may experience chronic pain and/or have some physical disabilities that can cause a lower quality of life. Osteoporosis is the most common reason for broken bones in the elderly, effecting an estimated 200 million people worldwide and this number is growing due to the increasing elderly population. This number is expected to double by 2050, putting more stress on already stretched healthcare services. In the European Union alone, in 2000 the estimated cost from osteoporosis was €32 000 000 000.

What has this got to do with urine pH?

The blood has to be kept between pH 7.35-7.45. If it is tipped out of balance, it causes the individual to feel unwell, and can even lead to death. This balance is kept stable by using a buffering system, and calcium is a base type buffer so can be used to lower acidity in the blood. When the blood is more acidic, osteoclasts (cells that break down bone) are activated and when the blood pH is more alkaline, osteoblasts (cells that make bone) work better. This is so that calcium can be released into the blood to lower the acidity. It has been suggested that a more acidic diet (including more meat and fish) will increase rates of osteoporosis due to the use of calcium from the bones in this buffering system. Also, as the body ages the kidneys may start to work less well, and may filter less and less acid out of the blood. This could make osteoporosis more likely in people who are already vulnerable. As people are living longer, osteoporosis is likely to be even more of a problem in the future .

Diet?

“A healthy balanced diet will help you build healthy bones” (from NHS website).

So what helps you build healthy bones? An average adult needs around 700mg of calcium a day, as well as vitamin D to help absorb the calcium.

Good sources of calcium include:

milk, cheese and other dairy foods

green leafy vegetables, such as broccoli, cabbage and okra, but not spinach ( Spinach contains oxalic acid, which reduces calcium absorption,)

soya beans

tofu

nuts

bread and anything made with fortified flour

fish where you eat the bones, such as sardines and pilchards

Good sources of vitamin D:

oily fish, such as salmon, sardines and mackerel

eggs

fortified fat spreads

fortified breakfast cereals

some powdered milks

As well as these foods that include vitamin and calcium, there is the alkaline diet. This diet is said by some to combat disease and cancer, though there is no good long term evidence to back these claims. The alkaline diet is likely to improve health as it suggests more fruit and vegetables are consumed. This is good for providing many vitamins and also fibre. It has been suggested that it could also reduce blood acidity leading to decreased osteoporosis.

Acidic foods:

Meat

Poultry

Fish

Dairy

Eggs

Grains

Alcohol

Neutral foods:

Starches

Sugars

Neutral fats

Alkaline foods:

Fruits

Nuts

Legumes

Vegetables

It is likely that bone density, and the risk of osteoporosis in later life, is influenced by a great many things such as intake of vitamins and minerals, exercise, genetics and many other factors. But we know that acid will break down bone in vitro and some studies in humans suggest this may also happen inside the body. People are eating more meat now than in the past, and in the UK drinking more coffee, which will add to the acid intake. Maybe aiming to have a diet rich in fruit and vegetables is good for people in many ways but could also reduce the chance of osteoporosis in later life too.

FLY FISHING FOR EUROPEAN SEA BASS IN BRITTANY, FRANCE from Brittany Fly Fishing on Vimeo.

Philippe Dolivet, IGFA-certified Captain, European sea bass fly fishing specialist, welcomes you aboard his specialized fly fishing skiff to discover the magic of the pristine waters of the Bay of Morlaix and the Roadstead of Brest. The rocky estuaries and coastlines of the Finistère region of the north-easternmost portion of French Brittany are a haven for travelling anglers targeting sea bass (Dicentrarchus labrax) on fly. The shallow waters are perfect for fly fishing tactics, chasing this merciless predator and great game fish. The hundreds of acres of very productive water can be accessed with a specialized seaworthy fly fishing craft,
 come and discover the subtleties of sea bass fishing with fly gear, on your own or with friends. Sea bass are an outstanding game fish species in their own right and can be found in numbers along the protected
 coastline of the Finistère. It represents a unique concept with upscale service for an unforgettable experience. In saltwater, my guiding operations involve a “flat type” boat powered with a 40 hp 4-stroke outboard engine. The powerful trolling motor (80 lbs of thrust) allows for very discreet approaches. The flat-bottomed hull and the shallow draft allow great access to shallow water, every now and then home of big bass. My guiding activities are focused on the best tides for fly fishing (tidal coefficient, high tide/low tide hours and moon phase all coming together) from early June to late October. Fishing is possible earlier or later in the season, but the weather conditions are often a limiting factor to navigation and fly casting. Optimum fishing conditions match with a warming of surface water above 14°C (57,2°F) and an increase of saltiness, bringing massive schools of baitfish (pilchards, sardines, sand eels, mackerels, sand smelts, scads) in the bays and estuaries, followed by huge numbers of bass of all sizes.

The Ultimate List of Fish to Eat (Inc What to Avoid)

Fish can serve as a power food or an absolute toxic inflammatory nightmare to your body. Everything depends on the kind of fish you choose. The American Heart Association recommends that you eat fish twice a week to meet the RDA for omega 3 fatty acids. But how on earth do you know that the fish you’re eating is beneficial?

There are millions of fish species, but you can consider only a few as healthy choices. To choose which species to eat, first, find their fatty acid profile. Fish that live in dark, cold waters contain higher levels of Omega 3’s.  Salmon, sardines, rainbow trout, anchovies, bass, herring, and tuna are rich sources of omega 3 fatty acids.

Next, consider their source. There are two categories of sources: farmed or wild. Each method has its pros and cons. To help you make healthy seafood choices we’ve given you the ultimate list of fish to include and avoid.

Health benefits of eating fish

Highly nutritious. Fish is one of the healthiest foods on the planet. All kinds of fish are good for you. However, the fatty type of fish is the healthiest of all. Fatty fish such as salmon, sardines, trout, tuna, and mackerel are higher in fat based nutrients. One of the nutrients is fat-soluble vitamin D which acts as a steroid hormone in your body.

Fatty fish contain significant amounts of omega 3 fatty acids. They are necessary for the optimal functioning of your body and brain. It’s good that you include fatty fish at least once or twice a week.

Lowers risk of heart attack and stroke. A study of 49,000 women published in Hypertension: Journal of the American Heart Association says that women who consumed little to no fish had fifty percent more heart problems than who at least ate fish once per week.

Researchers also found that women who rarely ate fish had three-fold higher rate of risk of heart diseases. Higher consumption of fish rich in omega 3 fatty acids, slashes your blood fat levels and contributes to lower heart-disease risk.

Reduces Alzheimer’s risk. If you eat fish even once a week, it helps preserve your gray matter neurons. The part of your brain that links up with memory and cognition. Researchers say that people who eat baked or broiled fish but not fried have larger cells and larger brains in the areas of the brain responsible for memory and learning. Larger brain volume lowers the risk of cognitive decline and Alzheimer’s disease.

Eases depression. According to various research studies when you take fish along with anti-depression medications, the omega 3’s is more efficient in treating your depression than medication alone. Studies show that taking 300mg of omega 3 capsules during pregnancy can significantly reduce your risk of postpartum depression.

Boosts brain power. Fish is highly beneficial for kids because of its EFA omega 3 fatty acids. The EFA significantly optimizes the brain development of your children. According to scientists, omega 3 helps soothe the symptoms of ADHD.

Improve skin and hair. The biggest drawbacks of a low-fat diet are that it deprives your skin and hair of the healthy fat it needs leaving it dry. Healthy omega 3’s found in fish, keeps your skin nourished and your hair shiny. Omega 3 is also useful for treating conditions such as psoriasis.

Promotes vitamin D levels. Saltwater fish is an excellent source of vitamin D. According to scientists it wards off disease, prevents cognitive decline and improves bone health. Just one three-ounce serving of salmon contributes 75 percent RDA of this vitamin.

Fish improves sleep quality. Researchers say that vitamin D helps to improve sleep quality. A 6-month study of 95 middle-aged men found that a meal with salmon three times a week improved both sleep and daily functioning.

Mercury poisoning and other toxins in fish. Mercury is a metal found naturally in your environment. Activities like burning coal, farming and using mercury in manufacturing increase mercury cycling through water, air, and soil. Mercury changes its form in water and becomes methylmercury.

Fish tends to absorb this mercury, and when you consume fish, you too absorb the mercury. At higher levels, it could be harmful. To reduce the risk of mercury contamination, try to avoid shark, swordfish, tilefish and King Mackerel altogether.

Shellfish can also have toxins because they are scavengers. They feed on sewage, industrial deposits, and on the waste of other fish filtering through their bodies. Avoid lobsters, clams, oysters, scallops, and shrimps if you want to avoid excess toxins from shellfish.

If you eat fish that has contaminants such as mercury and other toxins, it results in high levels of mercury in your human body. It even damages the development of the brain and nervous system in the fetus and young kids. So, women who are pregnant, nursing or who are planning for a baby should completely avoid this kind of fish.

Check with local advisories whether the fish caught by your family and friends in your local lakes, rivers and coastal areas are safe to eat. If no advice is available, eat up to 170 g of fish per week, caught from local streams, but don’t eat any other fish, during that week.

Wild fish and farmed fish

Aquaculture or fish farming means fish gets raised in floating net pens near the ocean shore. This method is also known as “Ocean Raised.”

Pros of farmed fish. Farmed fish are more readily available and a lot cheaper than wild caught fish. Some farmed fish have more omega 3 fatty acids than wild fish because fish farmers control the diet of the fish. Fish farming involves the reduced danger of overfishing.

Cons of farmed fish. Usually, the farmed fish contain more contaminants. Farmers feed processed pellets made from sardines, anchovies, and other small fish. These fish are mostly caught in polluted waters closer to the shore.

As a result, farmed fish contain higher levels of chemical contaminants. These chemicals may cause memory problems, cancer and nonbehavioral changes in children. Farmed salmon contains more of dioxins, PCB’s and pesticides than wild salmon.

Farmed fish are more subject to disease. It spreads quickly through the entire pen. To control the disease farmers feed antibiotics to the fish. Farmers even feed enhanced diet to these fish. Still, they have lower levels of omega 3’s when compared to wild fish.

Wild fish

Wild caught fish live in open waters and eat a natural diet. Fishers catch these fish from open waters.

Pros

The wild fish taste much better than farmed fish. Wild salmon is naturally bright in color, while farmers must add dyes to bring color to farmed salmon. Wild fish are healthier and less contaminated than farm fish.

Cons of wild fish

Marine biologists fear that there will not be enough wild fish to meet the growing demand. Overfishing depletes certain species of fish and affects the ecosystem at large.

Fresh wild wish can be more expensive. Some fish travel thousands of miles to reach the grocery store near you. The shipping of fish all over the world pollutes the environment because it uses fossil fuels.

Preservatives in fish

You must be concerned about the chemicals that get sprayed onto the fish. Preservatives such as sulfites, polyphosphates, polytrisorbate and sodium benzoate are sprayed to control the growth of bacteria, yeast, and mold and to make fish more appetizing.

The FDA allows these preservatives. The long-term health concerns of consuming these chemicals are unknown. Warm water fish like Orange Roughly are more likely to have chemicals than cold water fish. It is better to use your judgment and know your supplier.

Healthy fish to eat

The best fish options come from sustainable fisheries. They are lower in contaminants and high in fatty acids. The Monterey Bay Aquarium’s Seafood Watch calls this the “Super Green List.”

Wild caught Alaskan salmon. Salmon is a great option for your overall diet. Not only is salmon rich in omega 3 fatty acids and proteins but it is also high in B vitamins. It is a good source of potassium and selenium.

 Black Cod (Alaska and Canadian Pacific) Cod is a great source of niacin, phosphorus and vitamin B12. The cold-water fish like cod is highly beneficial for people with atherosclerosis and diabetic heart disease. Cod is an excellent source of low-calorie protein. They provide between 100-250g per day in omega 3.

Herring (Atlantic and Pacific according to EDF Sea Food Selector)

Making Herring a part of your diet boosts the health of your red blood cells. It contains magnesium, calcium and phosphorous, and so comes packed with nutrients for your skeletal health. Herring even stimulates your nerve function.

Atlantic Mackerel. Mackerel contains Coenzyme that helps to eliminate harmful agents from the afflicted cells, and it significantly improves cellular health. The oily fish is also high in omega 3 fatty acids. Vendors sell this fish in tons of salt, so make sure to soak it and rinse well before cooking and eating to reduce the sodium levels.

Pacific sardines. The sardine nutrition serves as the highest omega 3 fatty acid sources on the planet. It’s a fish that’s lower on the food chain, so has low levels of contaminants.

How to make smarter seafood choices?

To conclude, finding safer seafood can lead you down a tangled, confusing web. So here are some ways to make smart food choices.

Get yourself a seafood guide app or list from Monterey Bay Aquarium’s Seafood Watch to know more about healthy fish options.

Choose to support restaurants and business that use more sustainable and healthy seafood.

To increase your EPA and DHA omega 3 fatty acid benefits, you can try using phytoplankton supplements. Phytoplankton are rich in amino acids, minerals, antioxidants and omega 3 fatty acids.

Opt for fish like Pacific Sardines; Wild-caught Alaskan salmon and Atlantic

You can sign up for news from Food and Water Watch. This non-profit seafood group keeps a close eye on the seafood

Keep our guidelines in mind when you shop for fish, you’ll reap the heart-healthy benefits of fish without the risks. You can also add at least one fermented food to your diet especially when you eat a serving of your favorite fish.
