http://blog.worldfishcenter.org en-us © 2012 WorldFish To fish out, to find out, and discover. A podcast by Stephen Hall. WorldFish Expiscor: v. /ek.spi.skɔːr/ – The latin word expiscor means to fish out, to find out, or to discover. It seemed like an appropriate name for this podcast, which will offer my personal reflections on fisheries and aquaculture and how research can help improve their role in improving people’s lives. Aimed at both development professionals and the general listener, each podcast will tackle a current or controversial topic, that I hope will inform listeners and stimulate debate. Please feel free to provide feedback by visiting http://blog.worldfishcenter.org/. There will be about 10 podcasts per year – all of them written by me, narrated by me, and critiqued by one or more colleagues. I hope you enjoy them and perhaps even find them useful.

One of these is ocean acidification - it is not immediately obvious why we should care. Some of the threats posed by climate change can appear rather esoteric or abstract. One of these is ocean acidification - it is not immediately obvious why we should care. A recent paper by Sara Cooley and colleagues give a good example of why the threat of changing ocean chemistry matters. http://www.worldfishcenter.org/sites/default/files/expiscor_podcasts/expiscor-5-acidifying-oceans-and-the-future-ofmolluscs-implications-for-food-security.m4a Fri, 27 Apr 2012 08:30:00 GMT 7:09 mariculture,aquaculture,fish,research,development,fisheries,hunger,malnourished,poverty,stephen hall,worldfish,food security,molluscs Stephen Hall Is mariculture the solution to the world's growing demand for fish? Mariculture certainly holds promise as part of the solution to meeting our need and demand for fish, but it's not the obvious option that many people imagine. http://www.worldfishcenter.org/sites/default/files/expiscor_podcasts/expiscor-4-more-fish-surely-we-just-need-to-farm-the-sea.m4a Tue, 20 Mar 2012 01:00:00 GMT 7:20 mariculture,aquaculture,fish,research,development,fisheries,hunger,malnourished,poverty,stephen hall,worldfish Stephen Hall Is the scientific community aligned in its pessimism? How many of us have been told at some point in our lives “don’t worry…there’s plenty more fish in the sea”? This old proverb might comfort us for disappointment in love, but taken in its most literal sense, few people seem to believe it. http://www.worldfishcenter.org/sites/default/files/expiscor_podcasts/expiscor-3-plenty-of-fish-in-the-sea.m4a Fri, 3 Jan 2012 01:00:00 GMT 8:22 sustainability,sustainable,aquaculture,technology,technologies,aquatic resources,ocean,fish stocks,conservation,fisheries,fishery,small scale Stephen Hall 27 million tonnes of fish are used each year to feed animals, can we use these better? There is something circular about the idea of catching fish to use as feed for farmed fish, livestock, poultry and our pets. And with about one third of the global fish catch going in this direction, most of it destined for aquaculture, you might well ask whether growing the farmed fish to put in your supermarket has deprived a hungry or malnourished person of food. http://www.worldfishcenter.org/sites/default/files/expiscor_podcasts/expiscor-2-fish-making-a-meal-of-it.m4a Tue, 13 Dec 2011 01:00:00 GMT 10:01 health,nutrition,aquaculture,fish,resilience,research,development,fisheries,hunger,malnourished,poverty,stephen hall Stephen Hall How do we help the malnourished by choosing which fish is most nutritious? The idea that fish is a healthy diet choice is widespread, but fish differ in the benefits they offer, with implications for how we help the malnourished. http://www.worldfishcenter.org/sites/default/files/expiscor_podcasts/expiscor-1-fish-and-nutrition-not-all-fish-are-created-equal.m4a Tue, 1 Nov 2011 01:00:00 GMT 7:56 health,nutrition,aquaculture,fish,gender,research,development,fisheries,hunger,malnourished,poverty,stephen hall
