Lanzón

Los lanzones son una fuente de alimento muy importante de aguas inglesas. Conforman una parte fundamental de la dieta de algunas aves marinas como los frailecillos, de otros peces como los jureles, e incluso de mamíferos marinos como la marsopa común. Los lanzones nadan en grandes bancos durante los meses de abril y septiembre, y pasan los meses de otoño e invierno enterrados en la arena, saliendo únicamente a desovar.

Debido a las crecientes temperaturas de los océanos, los científicos temen que la especie pueda estar en declive.  La franja de tiempo para la eclosión está limitada al momento del año en el que se pueden alimentar, además de que otras especies dependen de ésta. Esto hace que un desfase en el momento de eclosión de los lanzones tenga consecuencias mayores.

¿Hay algo que hayas notado que esté desfasado, o pase en otro momento del año, como, por ejemplo, cuándo salen las flores o las mariposas?

    I grew up near a large lake in Umbria, Italy (Lago Trasimeno, or Lake Trasimene in English) and eels were part of our diet. Quite a large part, actually. I know it might gross out some of you, but we used to eat pasta with small eels (“ceriole” in our dialect), cut into pieces and cooked in a tomato sauce, and for our New Year’s Eve dinner (“il cenone di San Silvestro”) we always had “capitone”, a very big eel which quite frankly looked like a large snake! It was nevertheless delicious, cut into large chunks, seasoned with bay leaves and spit-roasted. Nowadays the only eels I get to eat are the jellied variety. I recommend Margate and Herne Bay for the best jellied eels in the world! Have you ever eaten eels?
