Sea squirt blob
I've heard of this before, but it's getting bigger. On the seafloor somewhere south of Nova Scotia there's an agglomeration of sea squirts, or one big sea squirt, that's something like 200 sq km and getting bigger and is a threat to the local fishery. There's to be an item on GlobalTV's newscast tonight (Nov 25/06) so I'll try and stub it at least; sounds creepy, and more sign of weird changes in the oceans, like the "Dead Spot" in the North Pacific offshore from Oregon....Skookum1 00:13, 26 November 2006 (UTC)

"Blob" in oceanography = dead zones
Just watching a CBC Sunday Night item (today's May 31, 2009) where an oceanographer or marine biologist uses the term "blob" for dead zones in the ocean caused by fertilizer use - no oxygen, no life etc. Don't know where to cite that, or if there's already an article on that, but she seemed to be using it as if it were a regular usage in marine sciences....Skookum1 (talk) 01:38, 1 June 2009 (UTC) BLOBS BLOBS BLOBS —Preceding unsigned comment added by Thebomb.lucas (talk • contribs) 18:04, 8 June 2009 (UTC)

Blob/slug comparison
The linked article on slug claims a blob is 12 slugs, not 1/12 of a slug.
