New study demonstrates effects of cocaine contamination on wild fish behaviour for the first time
Cocaine pollution is changing how juvenile Atlantic salmon move through their environment, making them swim farther and disperse more widely, a new study finds.
The study is the first to demonstrate the effects of cocaine contamination on fish behaviour in the wild, and can help better understand how chemical pollutants influence aquatic animal migration, according to researchers from Griffith University in Australia.
Cocaine and its metabolites are increasingly appearing in rivers and lakes around the world. They mainly enter waterways through wastewater systems that are not designed to fully remove these compounds.
We can’t be giving the Salmon aaallll the cocaine!!!
What happens when bears eat the salmon?
EDM festivals and same-sex experiences?
Someone needs to figure out how to filter this out of the water supply. You could market it as eco friendly cocaine.
This one salmon just kept talking and talking, sniffling with his eyes open even wider than normal! I swear he must have been on something!
It’s true, I just got cornered by a juvenile salmon yapping about MCP servers and trying to get me to subscribe to their podcast
Snowflame is simply spreading the word of his god. His god is cocaine!
