Algae fuel

measured based on carapace width (CW), then placed into covered plastic aquaria containing about 0.5L of seawater at a salinity of 20psu. Each crab was used only once in an experiment. Algae, Ulva spp. and fucus distichus, were used as prey in each set up, except the control group which was made up of on the algae. Two Littorina littorea or periwinkle snails were used per experimental design. Their heights were recorded for each set up and it ranged between 9-12mm. Four different treatments were…

These polyps get 90% of their energy from small algae called zooxanthellae which also produces their colour. Bleaching occurs when the polyps get rid of the zooxanthellae which leaves the clear polyps on top of a coral skeleton (a calcium carbonate skeleton which is built underneath most corals). Without…

Not only is water one of the key parts of life but it is the home to many animals such as fish and crabs of course the ocean is home to alot more animals but the lakes and rivers are just as in portinten they are home to a lot of animals such as bluegill and catfish the lakes and rivers are 0.0081%of the earth's waters which is a really really really small small amount the oceans make 96.8%of the world's water which is really really big amounts of water the only bad thing about that is that it…

the colonies of photosynthetic algae that they rely on for growth. An increase in sea level can also hamper foraging and reproductive capabilities, stunting growth and…

effects on the world, but it especially has an impact on the ocean. Global temperature rise can affect many ecosystems, and the species within them. Coral Reefs Coral reefs are valuable resources for ocean life. Coral and algae have a symbiotic relationship, with the algae living in the coral and being the primary food source for the coral. As a consequence, this symbiotic relationship provides habitats for small fish and plants due to the abundance of food found in the coral. Many species…

3. Algae bloom process the microbes involved in Algae are a diverse group of photosynthetic microorganisms, which vary from small, single-celled microbes to complex multicellular forms. Though algae bloom is considered as natural phenomena, but nutrient pollution can increase their frequency, duration and intensity. After getting adequate nutrition, the algae can grow rapidly in warm and slow moving water. The rapid increase in number causes the bloom to turn water noticeably green, but other…

Emperor Angelfish (Pomacanthus imperator) Introduction: The Emperor Angelfish (Pomacanthus imperator), is a reef-associated marine angelfish and is also called the Imperator Angelfish or Imperial Angelfish. Because of their beautiful color and attractive shape, the species is among the most amazing underwater fish in the Red Sea or in the aquariums. It is possibly the most easily recognized fish in the Red Sea. The display which the species make is marvelous whether done in the wild or in…

Reefs are considered one of the true beauties of our world. The many organisms who live there thrive and flourish in an explosion of colors, as seen in figure 3. Over time, humans have been building fake islands on top of these ecosystems. But, yet our kind is destroying these ecosystems in order to build fake islands on top. The early steps in the process is dredging, where huge ships scoop up sand from the ocean floor and dump it on top. This has been shown to suffocate and kill every life…

From the title “Coral reefs: the beauteous home to marine life “, we can know that how beautiful coral reefs form to our marine life. The coral itself contain many colourful colour that make people amaze and want to discovery more about those coral reefs. Coral reefs are home to 25% of all marine life on the planet. It can be found generally in clear, tropical oceans. In this study case our group choose Perhentian Island to do this research. This research is focus on tourism sea activities that…

CORAL REEF DIVING IS AN ALL-TIME FAVORITE TO MOST SCUBA DIVERS. BUT LIKE IT OR NOT, SCUBA DIVERS ARE CAUSING SUBSTANTIAL DAMAGE TO THE WORLD’S CORAL REEFS. Scientific evidence shows that divers are directly and/or indirectly responsible for damaging the reef life with some of their thoughtless behaviors. Not to say that all divers are harming reef life intentionally. But due to some divers’ lack of proper training, it is done unknowingly at times. Coral reef diving possesses some unique…
