It's interesting. When the shellfish farmers were complaing about sudden die-offs I learned there had been a movement of cold water from the deep, and that may have been a factor in the mass farmed shellfish deaths.

Now we hear killer sponges have recently come up from the cold water deep.

What's interesting is they are staying. If they like the cold water, why are they staying? Is it the obvious answer? If it is then that also is worth considering the next time somebody starts in with that it could only be CO2 choked, acid oceans killing the little clams and oysters crap.

Water temperature, I learned, is one of the many factors that can be responsible for mass shellfish deaths. Not to mention a possible disruption in the food chain.

I've seen at lest four species of killer sponges lined up outside of the pogey office.
