Students test sea squirt mince that tastes almost like meat

Students at Kyrkskolan in Söderbärke sampled minced sea squirt as part of the school's sustainability efforts. Several pupils were skeptical before tasting. The product, made from ciona, is described as future food with a low climate footprint.

At Kyrkskolan in Söderbärke, located in Smedjebackens municipality, students tested mince made from the sea squirt ciona. This was part of the school's sustainability initiatives. Several pupils expressed skepticism ahead of the tasting. “It feels weird,” said Fanny Vernersson before trying it. The sea squirt occurs naturally along the west coasts of Sweden and Norway and is cultivated, among other places, in Stenungssund. Anders Kiessling, professor of aquaculture at SLU in Uppsala, stated: “This is part of future food, we must start cultivating in water.” He noted that the sea squirt has a low climate footprint as it requires no feed or farmland, while also cleaning the sea. “It contains healthy proteins and fats,” Kiessling added. The taste test took place in the school cafeteria, with a video capturing the students' reactions. No specific taste opinions from students are quoted beyond the initial skepticism.

Three students from Seattle's Bush School have developed MooBlue, a business idea using red seaweed to reduce methane emissions from cattle without altering beef production. Their pitch in a school entrepreneurship competition impressed judge Mitch Ratcliffe, leading to a podcast discussion on the concept's potential. The initiative targets harvesting invasive seaweed from the Mediterranean and creating an oil-based feed additive for farms.

Researchers at the Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology have revealed how squid and cuttlefish survived the Cretaceous-Paleogene mass extinction by retreating to oxygen-rich deep-sea refuges. Their analysis of newly sequenced genomes shows these cephalopods originated in the deep ocean over 100 million years ago, followed by rapid diversification into shallow waters. The findings, published in Nature Ecology & Evolution, provide the first comprehensive evolutionary tree for decapodiform cephalopods.
