A spicier, more complex version of the calamari appetizer's tomato sauce married the flavors of the fish. There was indeed risotto underneath the shellfish, though it was only made accessible after much digging. Layers of clothing were shed in the grueling process. A word of advice: it is an exercise in absurd and repetitive gluttony to order either mussels or calamari as an appetizer followed by this seafood risotto.

...also working with other researchers to develop long-acting local anesthetics from toxins found in some fish, shellfish and algae--the same toxins that cause poisoning victims to feel numb and weak all over. Berde is pursuing the toxins because they work for two or three days and seem free of the side effects of existing drugs, which occasionally cause convulsions or disturbances in heart rhythm...

Factory trawlers scare up schools by dragging heavy chains over the sea bottom, uprooting aquatic plants and killing coral and shellfish. Migrating fish, such as salmon, are caught before they can spawn, thus killing their progeny as well. This one-two punch has contributed to the endangerment of many species, even those that are not pursued for their food value. The good news?

Coral reefs are more than beautiful structures admired by snorkelers and scuba divers. Their stony ramparts serve as storm barriers that protect shorelines and provide ships with safe harbor. Their nooks and crannies accommodate fish and shellfish that are important sources of food and livelihood for millions of people. And like the tropical forests to which they are frequently compared, reefs are repositories of vast biological wealth as yet untapped for medicinal and industrial uses...

Along with the wastewater came a strain of cholera that found a home in huge algal blooms stimulated by unusually warm ocean waters and abundant pollution. The microbe then made its way into shellfish and humans. So far, the epidemic has infected over half a million people and killed at least...
