Boarfish

Boarfish 

Boarfish (Capros aper) which also happen to have a super cool nickname "Zulu fish" are unusal creatures that can be found along the west and south cost of the United Kingdom. They can be found over mixed and muddy or sandy seabeds while avoiding very heavy or rocky soil. Boar fish generally avoid very shallow waters and can be found in approximately 100 metres deep.

Mufete

Mufete  This article is from a series of post on the topic of "What can the sea give us?".  Mufete is a dish of Angolan origin, more specifically, yes you guessed it, Luanda island. It is composed of grilled fish, banana bread, manioca, sweet potato and is accompanied palm oil bean. All those ingredients are from the island's natural resources and are therefore ethical and nonetheless incredibly delicious. Mufete is by the way one of my favourites dishes of the Angolan cuisine.  Author: Brenda Moita

Mussulo's Fauna

Mussulo's Fauna  Mussulo is an island (peninsula) on the southern coast of Luanda in Angola. Mussulo's fauna possess a immense biodiversity as a wide range of creatures have this island as their natural habitat. The mangroves forest in Mussulo provide the nests for several marine creatures such as leader back turtles, green turtles, the common dolphin, sharks, octopus, squid, jelly fish, green swordtail, tetra, etc. These animals migrate to other parts of the globe according to the season, their life and reproductive cycle. From my experience I have seem a variety of fish, birds, crabs which are yet to be reported and even pigs. I have no doubts that are many more animals living there.   Author: Brenda Moita

Crabs

Did you known that species like hermit crabs and horse crabs are not even crabs? If your answer is no to this question, be pleased to hear that neither did I, Hahahah.  Crabs are infraorder Brachyura decapod crustaceans that normally have a very small projection abdomen that is generally completely concealed under the thorax. They live in all the oceans of the world, in fresh water, and on land, are usually covered with a thick exoskeleton and have a pair of pinchers. Crabs are found in all oceans around the world whereas many crabs live in fresh water and on land, particularly in tropical regions. The size of crabs ranges from the pea crab, a few millimetres large, to the Japanese spider crab, up to 4 metres long. When I am at home I love seeing these beautiful creatures going about their lives on the mangroves and all over the beach.  Author: Brenda Moita
