paradox Posted January 15, 2010 (edited) i don't think anyone meant to jump on you chiral. just pointing out that the oceans in general are vast nutrient banks that are tapped by a great deal of terrestrial organisms & those nutrients invariably filter out through the ecosystem. fish are just another form of natural compost & nutrients cycled from aquatic environments do actually play an important & integral role in the health of terrestrial forests & other ecosystems, so it's perhaps not as un-natural as it seems ...& just to clarify.. i never worked at bunnings lol Edited January 15, 2010 by xodarap Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tripsis Posted January 16, 2010 sure enough a bear might drop a fish here or there...strange that they would leave anything, would have thought they eat the whole fish More often than not, bears will only eat the head and ovaries if given the choice, leaving the body to rot on the forest floor or riverbed. The head is of the highest calorific value and seeing as it's a race against time for bears to fatten up before the winter, they try only to eat the parts which will help them to do that in the shortest amount of time possible.

WoodDragon Posted January 16, 2010 Fish and other sea life are made pretty much of the same elements as land-based organisms, with perhaps a few more trace elements present. After all, the building blocks for cells, whether marine or terrestrial, are the same, and the elements of the oceans are simply those washed down by rivers over time. Plants can benefit just as much as bears, eagles, and humans from a seafood meal. Don't take anyone's word for it though - do the experiment. Even a pile on fish heads or guts left to degrade on a patch of lawn will prove it in a few weeks! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tripsis Posted January 16, 2010 Yep, the same 22 basic amino acids are found in all living organisms. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
