Wild vs farmed salmon, an illustration 12 comments
snowbeast · 3 years ago
A carotenoid called astaxanthin causes the pinkish orange color, and is found in crustaceans and plankton. The color of salmon flesh changes depending on how much the fish consumed. Farmed salmon are fed astaxanthin, which results in healthier fish and pink flesh as consumers expect. So an unusually pale salmon is likely wild, with a non-crustacean diet or a genetic mutation which prevents the salmon from processing the astaxanthin.

Swedish map, 1691 (detail) 2 comments
snowbeast · 3 years ago
This is a detail from a map of Östergötland, Sweden. The maps were created in the late 1600s, and describe in exhaustive detail farms, manors and other significant dwellings of the time. I get completely fascinated by them, not least in trying to decipher the archaic Swedish and embellished writing. Many places are described according to their usage and worth, e.g. "here is a little bit of fish but not much else of use." This is one of my favorites - the area just north of the center of this map is labelled "oduglig backe" which in Swedish means "piece of crap hill."

Wow, not very considerate of our guest! I was thinking something like Open Season, The Great Outdoors or at least Paddington would be more appropriate... *snuggles bear*
