    Gotta start introducing otters to get rid of them

  • @franklinjones4869
    @franklinjones4869 2 роки тому +5

    That’s been done in the past(crushing urchins) . Palos Verdes underwater project. What was found out it increases the urchin population. When crushed the urchins are able to reproduce (releasing sperm and eggs) thus increasing the population.

      It was my understanding that reproduction from crushing them was only viable during their "spawning" season. You can go to the ocean and see the "milky white" waters full of urchin sperm.

      That's what I was wondering about. Sea otters are voracious, and urchins are they're favorite food.

    Oh so now the harvest limit is 40 gallons instead of 35 individual urchins?

      Only for you're diving or snorkeling. If you're foraging (from shore) then it's 35 individuals. Late reply but hey, if it helps ...

    meanwhile, I watched a video two days ago about the horrible decline in sea urchin populations in some other areas because of disease and how terrible that was. Has anyone set up a tank to spawn some starfish?

    How can a native species be labeled an “invasive” species

    • @thesilentone4024
      @thesilentone4024 2 роки тому +1

      Because there killing its prediter faster then it can keep them in check so the purple ones are growing out of control.
      Also the fact they kill but don't eat them even though they have smell eggs/balls just eat them there edible.

    I will be asking biologist this week if smashing masses of them may release eggs and sperm of urchins to fertilize, which could increase the population explosion. I agree they need to be removed. But maybe we need to remove them without smashing them. Please hold off on smashing purple sea urchins until we know the best way to do it. Avoiding another serious unexpected consequence from the best of intentions is important. Yes. We will need help, but let's ensure that it will be a truly effective approach.

      They're edible, but not commercially attractive. Plus they ate all the kelp and are starving so there's effectively nothing in them for humans to eat. They can survive a long time without food.

      Purples don't produce the same amounts of uni (urchin roe), but yes; you can eat the "meat" (orange eggs) inside. Not sure of your supposed to check the biotoxin line, like with shellfish.

      If you were listening purple urchins don't supply much meat. The Red ones that are going extinct, are the ones that produce a larger amount. People don't want the purple ones.
