Seconded! MT @LisaGraumlich: Thank you Eddie Allison for adding ethics to #bevan13 in breathtakingly broad yet deeply thoughtful manner
#Bevan13 I admit it boggles my mind that *pet food* might have an impact on global food security
#Bevan13 Allison - in all countries where seafood exports increase, but so does local consumption, it's always supported by aquaculture
#Bevan13 Allison: Do seafood exports decrease supply of fish to consumers in low income countries? "Certainly not unequivocally negative"
#Bevan13 Allison mentions Darwin's Nightmare, a documentary by Huber Sauper about Nile perch http://bit.ly/WKHpJV
#Bevan13 Allison: "Food is much more than nutrition and calories. It is our culture and identity too"
#Bevan13 sidenote: it always amuses me that the acronym for Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids (PUFAs) is pronounced "pooh-fahs". Yum.
Which part of fish you eat greatly influences vitamin intake. For Bangladeshi mola, vitamin A is in eyes. #Bevan13 http://t.co/zPKZOr6uY5
#Bevan13 For more on wasted food resources, see @ensiamedia's "Spoiled: The Rotten World of Food Waste" http://bit.ly/WKGcCg
#Bevan13 Allison: 30% of fish produced goes to waste. In developing countries - spoilage. In developed countries - just thrown away
#Bevan13 Allison displaying 2009/2010 FAO data showing fisheries post-harvest loss (wastage) = 30%. Hope to hear more about that figure
#Bevan13 Allison: undernutrition is implicated in 60% of the deaths of 10 million children under the age of 5 each year.
#Bevan13 Allison cites Pelletier et al 2009 & Pelletier & Tyedmer 2010: "Global warming potential of farmed tilapia less than farmed salmon"
#Bevan13 Allison: Adequate production alone is not sufficient for food security, must also consider distribution (and waste)
#Bevan13 Allison: Even w rosy outlook for future aquaculture production, capture fisheries management essential esp for developing countries
#Bevan13 Allison shows results of model projecting fishmeal production in 2050. Overall slight increase. Peru is big loser (~28% decrease)
#Bevan13 resource: "Sustaining fish supplies for food security in a changing climate" by Allison & @NickDulvy http://bit.ly/WKECAo
#Bevan13 Allison begins w project by QuestFish http://bit.ly/WKEvEP asking, can anticipated seafood demand be met in a changing climate?
#Bevan13 Allison: Piscivore Dilemmas: good or bad for health? sustainable? socially responsible - deprives others, affects trade balance?
#Bevan13 Allison suggests no right or wrong choice for sustainable seafood guide (e.g. SeafoodWatch), but choose one w/transparent methods
#Bevan13 Allison highlights Chef Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall's campaign to end fish discards in UK http://bit.ly/WKDLzG
#Bevan13 Allison: Who do you trust for your seafood advice: Ray Hilborn? Daniel Pauly? Jane Lubchenco? Celebrities? Celebrity chefs?
Proud of the institutional change & scicomms leadership @UW_CoEnv. That's our Dean @LisaGraumlich livetweeting #Bevan13 next to me!
Very exciting! MT @LisaGraumlich: Delighted Dr. Eddie Allison has joined the SMEA faculty @CoENV. Already tapping his expertise at #bevan13

Great thanks to @TrevorABranch @iriskemp for outstanding organization of #Bevan13 (and 2012 & 2011). 2014: symposium on MagnussonStevens
Follow @RockyRohde for today's #Bevan13 lecture MT @RockyRohde: Are the omega-3's in fish really good for your heart? http://bit.ly/YETmht
Still thinking about dinner conversations with @UW_SAFS @TrevorABranch @pdegnbol. Best thing in world when small talk isn't small #Bevan13
Reminder: the #Bevan13 seminar series now has a YouTube channel - go ahead, binge on fisheries science talks: http://bit.ly/YapsAd
#Bevan13 - In Q&A, @UW_SAFs director Andre Punt opens with "Two questions: both of which are impossible to answer" #ilovescience
