https://padlet.com/2055905/ys79pirxgacxsuop July 21st 2018; Splatfest---In all non-game-related seriousness. Squid and octopus are somewhat popular sea food. Which is better for the environment and you're digestive health. en-us 2023-03-07 21:27:28 UTC 2025-10-29 22:58:06 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.net/icons/png/1f419.png 2055905 https://padlet.com/2055905/ys79pirxgacxsuop/wish/2510877351 This dish you're seeing is crispy squid. 
Squids are a type of mollusca. Swimming through the ocean doing their thing. But is farming and/or capturing these marine creatures worth it for the dish?]]> 2023-03-09 20:25:50 UTC https://padlet.com/2055905/ys79pirxgacxsuop/wish/2510877351 2055905 https://padlet.com/2055905/ys79pirxgacxsuop/wish/2510889051 This is a picture of chargrilled octopuses. Octopuses are also a type of Mollusca and are also captured and/or farmed for food. ]]> 2023-03-09 20:38:33 UTC https://padlet.com/2055905/ys79pirxgacxsuop/wish/2510889051 2055905 https://padlet.com/2055905/ys79pirxgacxsuop/wish/2510915606 The squid population is increasing. There's both positives and negatives to this. One positive is that there is more food for predators. One negative is more prey will have to fight for food. There's also an economic standpoint. Fish prices fluctuate wildly depending on the ecosystem bellow.]]> 2023-03-09 21:11:29 UTC https://padlet.com/2055905/ys79pirxgacxsuop/wish/2510915606 2055905 https://padlet.com/2055905/ys79pirxgacxsuop/wish/2510919662 AN: I used this source for the previous post too.
Octopus populations are also rising, although out of all the cephalopods, octopuses make up about 31% of the cephalopods. They may not be the majority, but the populations are still rising. What can be said here can also be said for the squids. Both negative and positives of the population boom.

Squid is well known for being cheap, versatile, and tasty. It's a good source of protein, vitamins, and cholesterol. One thing to note is seafood may contain mercury. Squid cuisine may also trigger shellfish allergies. So that's something to be aware of.]]> 2023-03-09 21:26:16 UTC https://padlet.com/2055905/ys79pirxgacxsuop/wish/2510925792 2055905 https://padlet.com/2055905/ys79pirxgacxsuop/wish/2510930665 Octopuses are (like squids) high in protein, vitamins, and other metals like iron, sodium and zinc. Octopus is quite squishy, so if you have sensory issues, it may not be an ideal choice. There's also the risk of octopuses having mercury and arsenic. They also count as shellfish, so if you have a shellfish allergy (like meee) it's best to decline. ]]> 2023-03-09 21:33:12 UTC https://padlet.com/2055905/ys79pirxgacxsuop/wish/2510930665 2055905 https://padlet.com/2055905/ys79pirxgacxsuop/wish/2516706843 This article discusses the booming population of squid. The most likely cause is global warming. With the information, it can be argued that squids are safe to form, at least in terms of sustainability. The population boom, however, may not be as structurally sound.  ]]> 2023-03-14 20:19:35 UTC https://padlet.com/2055905/ys79pirxgacxsuop/wish/2516706843 2055905 https://padlet.com/2055905/ys79pirxgacxsuop/wish/2516712871 Octopus populations have also experienced a population boom. However, it's causing trouble for the economy. Octopuses have been eating all the available shellfish. This doesn't just cause a problem with the market. Other species rely on those shellfish. Even tourist have spotted the eight-armed(?) swimmer. Too much of somethings results in too little of something else. ]]> 2023-03-14 20:26:00 UTC https://padlet.com/2055905/ys79pirxgacxsuop/wish/2516712871 2055905 https://padlet.com/2055905/ys79pirxgacxsuop/wish/2516721778 2023-03-14 20:36:49 UTC https://padlet.com/2055905/ys79pirxgacxsuop/wish/2516721778 2055905 https://padlet.com/2055905/ys79pirxgacxsuop/wish/2516725063 2023-03-14 20:41:10 UTC https://padlet.com/2055905/ys79pirxgacxsuop/wish/2516725063 2055905 https://padlet.com/2055905/ys79pirxgacxsuop/wish/2516731724 Some fun facts are:

Squids have three hearts.
The giant's squid's eyes are about the same size as basketballs.
The ink sack is connected to their *sshole.]]> 2023-03-14 20:49:33 UTC https://padlet.com/2055905/ys79pirxgacxsuop/wish/2516731724 2055905 https://padlet.com/2055905/ys79pirxgacxsuop/wish/2519910611 Some fun facts about octopuses.

Like squids, they have three hearts.
Both male and females die soon after mating.
~2/3 of their nerves are found in the "arms".]]> 2023-03-16 19:27:58 UTC https://padlet.com/2055905/ys79pirxgacxsuop/wish/2519910611 2055905 https://padlet.com/2055905/ys79pirxgacxsuop/wish/2519912584 2023-03-16 19:30:02 UTC https://padlet.com/2055905/ys79pirxgacxsuop/wish/2519912584 2055905 https://padlet.com/2055905/ys79pirxgacxsuop/wish/2519913744 2023-03-16 19:31:06 UTC https://padlet.com/2055905/ys79pirxgacxsuop/wish/2519913744 2055905 https://padlet.com/2055905/ys79pirxgacxsuop/wish/2519926798 As far as I know, squid populations aren't in any danger, they may be the safest to eat, at least for the ecosystem. There's always dangers in food, be it allergens, contamination, etc.
The most we can really do is just keep an eye out. It really depends on morals. ]]> 2023-03-16 19:42:52 UTC https://padlet.com/2055905/ys79pirxgacxsuop/wish/2519926798 2055905 https://padlet.com/2055905/ys79pirxgacxsuop/wish/2519932806 What can be said here can also be said for the squid. Although, seeing a recipe call for baby octopuses, it's morally questionable. 
I personally don't think they're the best option. Though it's it's your thing, you do you. 
The most that can be done is close monitoring. ]]> 2023-03-16 19:48:22 UTC https://padlet.com/2055905/ys79pirxgacxsuop/wish/2519932806 2055905 https://padlet.com/2055905/ys79pirxgacxsuop/wish/2519936421 There's no obvious winner. Again, it comes down to morals and taste. 
And yes, I did another game reference. ]]> 2023-03-16 19:51:26 UTC https://padlet.com/2055905/ys79pirxgacxsuop/wish/2519936421
