Parasites in Fish Are Exploding – Scientists Say It’s a Good Sign Deep in the oceans, something unexpected is happening with parasites. Tiny, thread-like worms that were once uncommon in many fish species are now showing up in numbers that would have floored researchers a few decades ago. Peer-reviewed studies have found certain species surging by hundreds of times since the 1970s. Scientists have traced this back to one thing: whales, seals, and sea lions are recovering.

Study shows in Global Change Biology finds Anisakis parasites in fish have surged roughly 283-fold since the 1970s. Researchers link the rise to recovering whale and seal populations completing the worms’ life cycle. Proper freezing keeps seafood safe. #MarineEcology #OceanRecovery #FoodSafety

These whales were hunted to 150 individuals. Now there are 50,000 of them Once hunted almost to extinction, the population of humpback whales currently migrating down Australia's east coast has bounced back and is now greater than before whaling.

In a recovery called a ‘near miracle’ ✨🐋, #EasternAustralia’s 🇦🇺population of #HumpbackWhales now surpasses pre-whaling numbers 🌊🎉. The population, rebuilt from just 150 survivors in the 1960s 💔➡️💪, may soon plateau as it reaches environmental limits 🌿⚖️.

🌱 The hope? Attenborough shows we are also the ocean: from the air we breathe to the food we eat. That connection may be the key. And he spotlights recovery: marine reserves in California and beyond are bouncing back. Life returns fast when given space. But only if we act.

Oceana’s 6-point cod recovery plan includes pausing capelin fishing, cutting quotas, and enforcing science-based thresholds. It’s time to stop managing for collapse and start managing for recovery. #FisheriesReform #CodCollapse #OceanaCanada #OceanRecovery

Spanish fishers in Galicia report ‘catastrophic’ collapse in shellfish stocks Climate crisis and pollution reported as possible reasons for dramatic fall in numbers of cockles, clams and mussels

🐚 This is what happens when we treat the ocean like an all-you-can-eat buffet without paying the bill. 💸 Time to stop acting #shellfish and bickering over small adjustments of regulation, and start talking about real #OceanRecovery.
