Episode 112: Benefits from eating a problem species...and more

In lieu of an interview guest, this episode sees Craig reading four recently published articles with aquatic flavours: Establishing a commercial fishery to intentionally overfish an unwanted yet marketable species, like the Longspined Sea Urchin in Tasmanian waters, can be a sustainable option to protect marine ecosystems (sourced from the Institute for Marine and Antarctic Studies, University of Tasmania); an article from the ABC News website on how a 15-million-year-old fossil fish discovered in central NSW has revealed its colouration and diet; How a portable, containerised hydrochemistry laboratory (called "Hydrobox") has the potential to revolutionise ocean research (sourced from CSIRO); and an article from the Australian Institute of Marine Science on how small, hidden crabs may be the missing link influencing Crown of Thorns starfish populations on the Great Barrier Reef.
