Shellfish Fail

Gulf seafood deformities alarm scientists - Features - Al Jazeera English

Quote:

Gulf of Mexico fishermen, scientists and seafood processors have told Al Jazeera they are finding disturbing numbers of mutated shrimp, crab and fish that they believe are deformed by chemicals released during BP's 2010 oil disaster.

Along with collapsing fisheries, signs of malignant impact on the regional ecosystem are ominous: horribly mutated shrimp, fish with oozing sores, underdeveloped blue crabs lacking claws, eyeless crabs and shrimp - and interviewees' fingers point towards BP's oil pollution disaster as being the cause.

Guess I'll be lowering my shrimp intake...

I imagine we (as Louisianians) will be feeling the impacts of the spill for years. So much of our local economy is dependent on the water-- at least shipping is back up & running, but reports of mutant seafood are bad news.

It is really sad what happens to animals when we have these " accidents" . If people would actually do time for these instead of buying their way out it would happen less .. What a shame !!

Ditto. We're supposed to have a mild hurricane season, at least. Fingers crossed.

Really? I don't doubt the seafood is probably contaminated for years to come but the news source is a freaking joke. Back in OIF those dicheads just so happen to be filming near every IED strike.
