"Understanding Aquaculture" Podcasts by Kaan Ugrasiz

The question we must ask ourselves to find the answer is how we can benefit from shellfish and use them effectively for our environment and our world. Shellfish operations is a new field that is gaining as much attention as that of finfish. Bivalves, which have a very wide working area in themselves, are also used in marine research and restorations, as well as being a very valuable food for human consumption. This product group has a serious market in Europe. Speaking for human consumption, the abundant, rapid and economical production of some species such as blue (common) mussel (Mytilus edulis) and clam looks very profitable in the medium-long term. Shellfish aquaculture, which can be implemented with different production methods according to the area and production budget, can find buyers in the countries of the near and far west. In this podcast, we cover the key issues regarding the advantages of shellfish farming, the aquaculture opportunities, and the future place of this aquaculture operation.

Although heavy metals, which are an integral component of the earth's crust, have existed in the world for hundreds of years in a unique cycle mechanism, their geochemical cycles and biochemical balances have changed drastically due to human activities increasing day by day. The ever-increasing industrial activities of the last century have also resulted in an increase in people's direct or indirect exposure to heavy metals. Mercury, Lead, Chromium, Cadmium and Arsenic are in the top five of the most common heavy metals that cause human poisoning. The sources that provide heavy metals are actually not as far away as we think, we are closer to some of them than we think; welding shops, paints, pesticides, fuels... When the members of this metal group enter the human body and begin to show negative effects there, they are defined as toxic and their name begins to turn into toxic metals. Pollution of water, air and soil with heavy/toxic metals is an environmental problem and hundreds of millions of people around the world are affected every day. Somehow, these metals, which are unexpectedly mixed with any part of nature, leach from industrial plants and acid rain, causing environmental pollution. There is no way to permanently get rid of these metals, which we define as toxic in our heavy bodies in nature, but if we can review and improve their mixing mechanisms in nature, we can minimize the impact they have on us and maybe even eliminate them completely. For this, people from all parts of the society should make a joint effort and legislators should put human life in the forefront and make laws in accordance with the recommendations made on the basis of the findings obtained in the light of scientific data. Getting to know heavy metals better is the starting point for regulating our relationship with these substances. This is the benchmark in the emergence of a small document containing clear information on metals that are alternately identified as heavy and toxic. The Relationship Between Seafood and Heavy Metals document, which focuses on heavy metals that are most common in nature, is presented as an easy content to anyone who wants to better understand toxic metals and learn how to avoid them.

While we can catch and grow up fish today, but much could change in the future of fisheries due to climate change. Will we be able to continue fishing and raising fish with traditional methods under changing climatic conditions? This is one of the most important questions we have to ask ourselves today and we are looking for the true answer to this important question.

Aquaculture tourism is only one of the best and innovative ways to describe what we do. Today, people are more concerned than ever before where the products they eat come from and what their origins are. They even feel responsible for the main and supporting materials used in the production of a product, the status and welfare of the workers and want to obtain information about these from open sources.

As the number and quality of attempts to increase seafood consumption increase, more and more people consume the seafood they consumed or have a positive feeling about consuming, primarily what they are fed with, where they come from, the conditions where they come from, and of course, the protein in the seafood that comes to their plate as a crop. They began to ask more and more questions about whether there was anything other than meat and other nutritious vitamins and minerals as a source of food. In order to ensure that the processes from farm to plate are shared with the end consumer in a clear and unambiguous manner, since the questions that are asked regularly and wondered for answers, can contain many non-transparent and open to abuse content, especially from species-based substitute products and from landing to hunting methods and the sustainability of these methods. Some initiatives started to be carried out on the basis of technology and operations. To read the article, please visit kaanugrasiz.com...

We have to create protection areas in order to ensure the continuation of the coasts and seas damaged as a result of human activities. Today, there are some serious problems affecting the coasts of Turkey, Europe and the whole world, and these problems damage the coasts by permanently deteriorating the physical, chemical and biological forms of the coasts. If it is necessary to list these problems under a few headings; human-based activities such as unconscious and uncontrolled agriculture and fishery activities, energy production works carried out with aggressive strategies, and tourism, which is carried out without environmental impact assessment or ignoring its effects on the environment, can be counted in the first place. At the first episode, we are talking about marine protected areas and coastal conservations. Please visit www.kaanugrasiz.com for more.
