Early in February some volunteers in the United States posted dozens of     1     (photo) on the social media,     2     (show) that the physical condition of the giant panda Ya Ya in the Memphis Zoo was worrying. Having been hungry for     3     long time, it looked bony, weak and dirty. The poor condition soon caught worldwide concern.

From    4     we have learned so far, Ya Ya has serious skin disease and digestive system problems. The situation is not very optimistic,     5     makes people very sad. The American animal protection group “In Defense of Animals” (IDA) has released a video in which Ya Ya was seen circling around where she lived.     6     is reported that the panda now weighs     7     (little) than normal, eats little and shows obvious signs of stereotyped behavior and even self-harm.

Eating jellyfish could save endangered fish

According to the IUCN Red List 32,000 species are threatened with extinction — everything from birds and mammals. Despite national and international efforts being gathered to protect threatened species, we actively fish for many of them. For those of us who enjoy the odd fish and chips, this isn't great news,     1     the researchers have come up with an unusual way we can help while still enjoying seafood — and it involves eating jellyfish.

Between 2006 and 2014, 92 vulnerable or endangered species of seafood were being caught, recorded, and sold. When they are sold, it is rare that fish and invertebrate (无脊椎的) species     2     (require) to be labelled according to species, so consumers have no way of knowing     3     they're eating.

The research team stresses the fact     4     this is only a brief view of the real problem. "A lot of the seafood catch and import records are listed in groups like ‘marine fish'. Here we didn't look at those vague records, we only looked at records     5     the actual species was listed — so we've made a huge underestimate of the actual catch of endangered species."

There are some ways to untie the mess we're creating in the world's oceans, including     6     (expand) our idea of seafood to include jellyfish. That might sound a little off the theme, but it's not the first time scientists have suggested     7     as a food source. It makes a lot of sense because Jellyfish is considered a minor species of wild animals and scientists might think its number is increasing worldwide.

Of course, there are other ways to help keep endangered species     8     the menu. "We need to improve the labelling of seafood     9     the consumers can have all of the information to make an informed choice," UQ conservation scientist Carissa Klein told ScienceAlert.

And the informed choice, at least in some places, is     10     (easy) than you might imagine. In Australia, where the researchers are based, there's the Sustainable Seafood Guide to provide the best choices for seafood. There's also Seafood Watch in the US, which is run by the Monterey Bay Aquarium.
