The researchers noted that Bathynomus species have recently become a delicacy in Vietnam, often compared to lobster. The local demand has turned these sea bugs into an expensive staple of the live-seafood market, leading to increased fishing pressures in the region.
Wasn’t my first thought but I guess.
Humans: Find new species in the ocean
Also humans: Fishes the species into extinction.
Classy.
It’s weird bc I’ve heard they have the texture but the taste isn’t good. Same for a lot of the other larger isopods.
I wonder… they always say proteins are largely flavored by what they consume… think corn fed beef. I wonder if they taste bad because they consume a large amount of detritus?
So corn fed isopods would be delicious? This merits further study.
I mean… there’s potential? I would be curious to see how it pans out…no pun intended.
I wonder what if we fed them updog?
The Facebook memes are real?!? 🤮
