OffTopic: Something similar to fishing vessels,
Fishing vessels are spreading parasites at hyper-accelerated speeds. This happens when they clean the guts of infected fish at sea without prior treatment and when they discard untargeted fish in the same way; The parasites disperse exponentially, within a loop, when such parasitised food spreads through the trophic. This has already happened on a planetary level.
Also, to note, I think that if they start droping frozen guts into the sea as a treatment, our main defensive barrier at home (to froze fish some days before consumption) will eventually disappear when the parasites adapt (ie. not freezing them long enough until they die due neglect, would progressively disperse freeze-resistant strains in the wild).
- ponector 1y agoFirst time I hear someone is freezing fresh fish at home. Everyone I know tries to eat fresh never-frozen fish. I thought the main barier is to apply intense heat to the fish, not to freeze it.

- Thimothy 1y agoIn places where fish is eaten raw (or lightly pickled) you NEED to freeze it before preparing it. Anisakis is no joke. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anisakis https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anisakis
- taeric 1y agoThe first time we tried to pan sear some fresh salmon was about the last time we ever tried fresh salmon. Holy crap that is an eye opener. Took a long time to get over that feeling of seeing the parasites and learning that that is basically expected in wild fish.
- dzhiurgis 1y agoIn NZ if you do your own fishing you freeze guts and frames so you don't stink your rubbish bin and you drop it back to ocean on your next trip. Keeps chilly bin cold too.
