Are we being invaded
Submitted by dalaisc on Mon, 2013-02-25 08:34
I have been diving the Swan River and Cockburn Sound for years and have noticed over the past 12 months that we are being invaded. Not sure if it is an invasion or a resurgents of stocks.
Anyway the first invasion is those feathery looking leather jackets, particularly in the lower reaches of the Swan River. I remember almost a decade ago one was presented at SwanFish and took out the prize for most unusual fish. These days I see heaps of them when diving around the lower reaches of the Swan. Have also noticed them in Cockburn Sound.
Second invader is those Razor Shells in Cockburn Sound. I have come across fields of these things with thousands of them. Are these any good to eat?

Have the scallops recovered in the Sound ?
There have always been areas of razors in the sound even years ago but the real question is has the scallops recovered from the "minor" cyanide spill CSBP had a few years ago and what of the forests of introduced sea anenomies - haven't dived it for three years so would be very interested to hear your comments

Not sure if there are
Not sure if there are different varieties of razor's but theres quite a few videos on youtube on how to cook them..
I saw one family eating them on one and they didnt look too bad , even went back for seconds.

Some mates of mine go nuts
Some mates of mine go nuts for Razor backs in SA. Not as good as a scallop I reckon but worth eating for sure.
Burley it and they will come.
