Eat Jellyfish To Save The Ocean? Experts Say That Eating Milkfish, Stinky Belly Fish And These Are More Delicious And Save More

Japan cannot catch saury, and the catch in North America, Europe, and Australia plummeted by 40%. In recent years, scientists have discovered that marine fish have been overfished, and marine resources have been depleted. Marine biologists in Australia put forward the suggestion of "eat jellyfish to save the ocean". Asking Chinese from all over the world to eat more jellyfish skin can also save the problem of the explosion in the number of jellyfish in various sea areas. Experts believe that jellyfish have limited nutrition, and eating algae such as kelp and seaweed, or algae-eating fish such as stinky belly and milkfish, is more delicious and nutritious, and saves more.

In recent years, many oceanographers have published that some jellyfish populations have been observed to grow rapidly in many sea areas, and some beaches have even been closed due to the explosion of jellyfish. Therefore, Dr Lisa-ann Gershwin, an independent marine biologist in Australia who specializes in the study of jellyfish, suggested that everyone should eat more jellyfish, thinking that it may be possible to relieve the dilemma of large-scale fishing of more than 90 endangered fish species in the world. However, Huang Zhiyang, associate professor of the Department of Aquaculture at Ocean University, believes that 95% of jellyfish are water and their nutrients are limited. It may be difficult for everyone to eat jellyfish instead of fish.

Jellyfish skin is low in calories and refreshing. It is a good choice for people who lose weight.

Jellyfish is also the "jellyfish skin" on Chinese dining tables. Jellyfish skin is one of the major dishes of Chinese New Year reunion dinners for Chinese around the world. And the jellyfish skin is low in calories, only 19 calories per 100 grams, and contains 4.4 grams of crude protein. After adding green vegetables such as cucumbers, celery segments, shredded carrots, and shredded onions, the taste is crisp and refreshing. It is suitable for many beautiful women. diet for weight lossmaterial.

Jellyfish skin is high in sodium, so don't eat it every day

Huang Zhiyang said that the increase in the number of jellyfish in various places shows many marine crises. For example, there are hidden concerns such as rising ocean temperature, marine nutrient composition or ecological imbalance, and nutrient optimization, while jellyfish grow rapidly, with short growth cycles and large size, which may indeed cause pressure on marine ecology. However, the people in the world who have the habit of eating jellyfish are mainly Chinese. It may be difficult for everyone to eat jellyfish to save the ocean. It should also be noted that the jellyfish skin is dried, has a high sodium content, and lacks lipids, various minerals and vitamins. The nutritional value is also limited. He believes that it is better not to eat it every day.

Eating algae is more environmentally friendly

He suggested that instead of eating "algae", it is more effective to save the marine ecology. Algae are creatures that look like plants and grow very fast. In addition to nostoc, eating too much will not cause a marine ecological crisis, and it can also improve the crisis of too many algal blooms.

Algae are rich in nutrients, high in dietary fiber and protein.

There are about 8 kinds of algae that Taiwanese people often eat, such as seaweed, wakame (kelp sprouts), kelp (kelp), sea velvet, and seaweed. In addition, there are also extracts of gelatin, such as coral grass commonly known as "sea bird's nest", stone cauliflower like aiyu, and agar that is processed into various products such as "cold sky" or "vegetable swallow". Because algae grow fast, and algae is rich in vitamins, contains 10 to 25 times the dietary fiber of brown rice, and is one of the few plants rich in protein, it is a source of plant-based omega 3. And it has a lot of trace elements, which is very suitable for vegetarians to supplement nutrition.

Changing to eat milkfish, stinky belly fish and other algae-eating fish

The only disadvantage of algae is that it contains high iodine content, and it is not suitable for those who have thyroid problems and are sensitive to iodine. These people may wish to choose "algal-eating fish", such as milkfish and elephant fish commonly known as "stinky belly fish" (called tree fish in Taiwanese). These two types of fish are algae as their main food. Whether they are caught or farmed in the sea, they are fish that can mature in a short period of time. Unlike general fish farming or fishing, which requires trash or small fish as bait, it is necessary to "exchange fish for fish". , is a more environmentally friendly way of eating, you can eat delicious food and love the earth.
