    There are many layers of damage not mentioned here about the live bait industry and its effects on aquatic natural resources. Even if 100% of unused bait is disposed of by law, there will still be transmission of pathogens and many live fish will still escape and survive. The organisms trafficked by the bait industry alongside the fish themselves are just as problematic. You can already find reproducing populations of common baitfish in almost any waterbody in MN with a public access, including designated trout management lakes that explicitly outlaw use of live minnows. Even in the depth of the BWCA you can find Fathead minnows and rusty crawfish spawning at nearly every portage. You want change then make it illegal to use any live bait not sourced from the same watershed with strict monitoring and enforcement statewide. Economics will not settle on this model on its own it needs to be law. People have become accustomed to convenient live bait at the filling station but in reality it takes two people 30 minutes to seine a local creek with a $50 net and voila you get better bait without the negative effects. This would allow legacy users to still fish with live bait (with some added effort/cost) and allow for localized bait markets to exist. It will also shift true economic value onto habitats and baitfish populations that are chronically undervalued and underutilized statewide. Allowing the current system to persist and relying on end users to follow the rules will simply not produce any results.

    I have so many questions I want to ask this guy. I have a pet rock I found in a lake. It's covered in green algae, and I keep it in a dish of water on the windowsill above my kitchen sink. One time, I fed it a tiny crumb from an iron vitamin tablet, and the algae turned dark green. Another time, I gave it a crumb from a calcium pill, and the algae turned pale green and foamed up with bubbles. I want to know what is happening.

    • @goosenotmaverick1156
      @goosenotmaverick1156 4 місяці тому

      You're feeding it nutrients and it's up taking those and using them for their intended functions. In aquatic plants, which technically encompass this algae, iron and calcium are crucial nutrients, the calcium I believe is what helps build the frameworks and fuel physical growth, hence the lightening in color. It has excess growth and lacked nutrients to turn dark green like it did with the iron. Basically by altering nutrients you're altering the growth of it and it's condition. They make all in one aquarium fertilizers. You could try one of those that's light or empty of nitrogen as you don't want too much nitrogen or you'll get other algae and such growing in the dish. Keeping the nitrogen load low helps growth be slow but healthy and intentional. Basically what you seen as pale green was a nutrient deficient algae.

      Also try looking up things like hair algaes and such and see if you can identify it. It's likely a hair algae based off what you described as far as I can tell. It's a different kind of algae from the diatoms discussed here. You should find LOADS of help on aquarium type pages/groups. There are various types of algae aquarists have done well to identify each kind and why it occurs in aquaria (generally an imbalance of some sort by our standards of water quality) and have identified which things to cut out to get rid of it, thereby providing you with the information to do the opposite of, to make your algae flourish. Sorry for the multiple comments, I had afterthoughts, and it's also good for the algorithm/engagement, especially for smaller channels.

    First of all, it's NOT a mushroom. It's fungus. And where do you get this "1 in 10,000" claim? I'm in southern NH and I can't take a walk in the woods without finding the stuff. As far as whether or not it harms the tree is not known at all. It's also not known how it gets in there because it affects the heartwood, then eventually bursts through the bark, and is NOT known to enter through a wound in the tree. It is NOT proven to fight cancer. Russians were NOT the first to be known to use it. In fact, Otzli the ice man was found to have some in his possession. "OOH! Check around the tree!"...if you knew what you were talking about, you would know it only grows on the north face of trees. It's also NOT on just birch, just predominately birch trees. Chaga also generally grows fairly close to the ground. It's not that common to find it out of reach. I've also popped this stuff with a pocket knife. It's not that difficult to get off. It also absolutely DOES grow back, and if you take it all, you will expose the heartwood of the tree and that's basically a death sentence for the tree. The chaga protects the opening it created. You also don't need to grind it into a powder. Join any local foraging group anywhere with people that actually know what they are talking about, and you will discover that almost everything this guy says is almost completely incorrect. PBS, folks. Public-funded nonsense. STOP SPREADING FALSE INFORMATION!
