If there is..

If there is anything worth mentioning about this semester.. It will be the field trips that we're getting. I will be going on a field trip to a salmon farm at Wayatinah. This time round, not so much about the fish but rather the different systems used to culture it. Before I proceed with my rambling... Here are some photos of the trip down to Marine Research Centre (MRL) at Hobart.

Massive Artemia culture:


If you see carefully.. you will be able to see the phyllosoma (larval) stage of the lobster. They are transparent looking and look pretty much like a spider. NEAT!

Nah.. the picture is too small. You can't see it.. Hahaa.. Well imagine it then!

Juvenile Striped Trumpter.


Adult Striped Trumpter. Trumpters are considered as one of the top fish meat in Australia. Known for its excellent taste and texture and I totally agree with it. I had the opportunity to eat Fish and Chips made of Striped Trumpter during our Maria Island trip earlier this year. Excellent! Cost wise.. a bit pricey.. if not I will make it my staple protein source. Hahaa
