Another great Lab practical today by Reuben Shipway looking at the functional morphology & internal anatomy of #crustaceans It was great to gain more knowledge, link features to their evolutionary context & practice our #dissection skills. #marine #biology


Could ‘Naked Clams’ soon be hitting our supermarket shelves and restaurants as a sustainable seafood?🌊🍽️ BES funded research led by David Willer & Reuben Shipway demonstrates the world’s first shipworm farming system, turning waste wood into food University of Plymouth Cambridge University 🧵


David Willer Reuben Shipway University of Plymouth Cambridge University 💬“Naked Clam aquaculture has never been attempted before. We’re growing them using wood that would otherwise go to landfill or be recycled, to produce food that’s high in protein ... with a really low impact on the environment” said David Willer
