A whole lotta shipments!

Damn, we’re moving a lot of fish!

Let’s see, we recently shipped lots and lots of scientific samples headed from the Azores to genetics labs in Italy and Denmark, including cetacean faeces, which is science lingo for “whale poo”.

Then we sent Octopus to Florida, Pelagia noctiluca and other captive bred jellies to California, cuttlefish eggs to Tennessee and also Denmark.

We also moved a bunch of captive bred Hippocampus hippocampus and cuttlefish eggs to the United Kingdom and Germany, captive bred Dasyatis americana to Ireland, and wild caught Zeugopterus punctatus to Lithuania.

Meanwhile, we have massive shipments under preparation to Holland, and German, with a ‘small’ 2000 km detour to northern Denmark, so we can pick up some captive bred Cyclopterus lumpus to friends in Eastern Spain.

And if that weren’t enough, we’re desperately hunting for a very large amount of Macroramphosus scolopax and Trachurus trachurus headed to the Middle East and our largest order ever for Scomber scombrus will depart to Spain in a few weeks.

In other words, while some folks use the summer to catch up on their reading, we can’t seem to be able to squeeze in a day at the beach, but this is what’s commonly referred to as ‘first world problems’, right?

Onwards and forwards!
