Sharky's Taiwan Seafood guide.
四面環海的寶島島民們，要怎樣慶祝世界海洋日呢?
當然是好好照顧我們的海洋，讓我們的海洋環境永續啦~
我們每一個人都做得到的，就是依照小白鯊的建議慎選海鮮，讓海裡年年有魚!

為甚麼不吃這些魚呢?

鯨鯊、曲紋唇魚（龍王鯛、蘇眉、拿破崙）隆頭鸚哥魚已列入保育物種，是禁止買賣的，如果發現在販售的商家，請通報118海巡署。
(^^^) 原則一:避免稀有種，選擇量相對較多的常見種。

鯊魚、旗魚和鮪魚是海洋生態系的上層掠食者，處於食物鏈的頂端。食用高等掠食性魚類的同時，也是把層層累積在魚肉的水銀或多氯聯苯累積到自己的體內。

攝取過多的汞會損害腦部的機能，胎兒神經系統的發育，和造成男性不孕。最近美國科學家更在鯊魚身上發顯一種毒素BMAA，一種與阿茲海默症有關的神經毒素。

曼波魚和龍膽石斑雖不是掠食性魚類，不過是大型的魚類。大型魚的壽命長、性成熟年齡晚、繁殖率低、族群恢復力慢，是最容易遭到人類的過度捕撈，最先成為瀕危的物種，因此也不建議食用。
(^^^) 原則二:避免長壽的大型魚
(^^^) 原則三:避免野生海洋捕撈魚，選擇養殖魚

珊瑚礁魚類則是扮演著維護珊瑚礁生態系平衡的角色。牠們啃食礁石表面的藻類，讓藻類不會生長過多，給珊瑚苗空間生長。另外珊瑚礁魚因為時用藻類，體內可能含有雪卡毒素(ciguatoxin )、刺尾魚毒素等(maitotoxin)毒素，人類吃到會引發強烈中毒反應。
(^^^) 原則四:避免食用色彩鮮豔的珊瑚礁魚類，選擇銀白色魚種。
(尤其是超過2.7公斤的珊瑚礁魚，中毒機會會增加；另，可能聚積大量毒素的部份，有魚肝、魚腸、魚卵和魚頭)

最後，避免吃仔魚。給幼魚長大，繁殖的機會，是永續的第一步。

那到底哪些魚可以吃呢?建議您參考中央研究院生物多樣性研究中心製做的台灣海鮮指南:

Here is a story about a true fighter 🐢Rainbow the green sea turtle was rescued from the Bream Hole in Lennox Head on New Years Day. You may remember the story about Rainbow, she had a close encounter with a shark and then needed her back right flipper amputated by the amazing team at the

This wasn’t the only issue Rainbow was facing. She also had a stomach full of plastic!!! Over a six week period Rainbow had passed the most amount of plastic we have ever seen a turtle in our care pass! It’s actually incredible that she is still with us. Just a few pieces of this plastic could severely impact her health.

Despite everything Rainbow has been through she is incredibly strong and has adapted well to having just 3 flippers.

This is a big reminder to please be mindful of your plastic usage and always dispose of rubbish correctly. Please share this around to spread the message of how harmful plastics are in our oceans!
