Aquaculture

care facilities” in 2015 was the second most “highest incidence rates’ of total nonfatal occupational injury and illness cases” (U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, U. S. Department of Labor, 2015). Surprisingly, Police protection came in third with aquaculture being the highest. The statistic was based on reported cases, as I feel in our profession, injury is well under reported. There have been numerous times myself, that I have tugged on a patient and felt the strain in my back without…

attempt to avoid the scrutiny that they are receiving. Do not be fooled by this, no matter the verbiage used on a meat label, know that it took massive amounts of environmental resources to raise the livestock that provided for it. For example, aquaculture, fish farming, is touted by environmentalist that are advocates for the meat industry. The practice is said to have a modest environmental impact, but it still leaves a hefty carbon footprint. According to Dalhousie professor, Peter Tyemers,…

When I first came to Arizona I never thought I would see such an engaged community involved with protecting a vital nutrient we human beings need, at least, half-gallon a day: WATER. It was the first time I heard about harvesting rainwater and compost toilets. My first impression was that if these people are willing to recycle their own poop they are really committed to the cause. And I then realized: this is THE place. I came to Tucson to study aquaponics, an integrated food production system…

In the Baja California coast of Mexico, shrimp ponds were reported to be affected by algal blooms and the responsible algae were the prasinophyte Nephroselmis sp., Cochlodinium polykrikoides, Prorocentrum rhathymum, P. minimum, and Heterocapsa triquetra (dinoflagellates) and Nitzschia sigma (diatom) (Gárate-Lizárraga et al., 1999; 2004; 2006; Sierra-Beltrán et al., 2005; Gárate- Lizárraga and Muñetón-Gómez, 2008). Severe losses in shrimp farming in Mexico caused by toxic dinoflagellates and…

Food Security in the South Pacific: An Annotated Bibliography Silke Groeneweg What are the effects of climate change and subsequent rising sea levels on food production and security of the inhabitants of islands in the South Pacific? In the past few decades, climate change has become a bigger concern for researchers and the public alike. For the inhabitants of small island nations in the South Pacific, there is no issue more pressing or potentially detrimental to their lives. Scientists,…

Environmental Flow Policies Environmental flows are the seasonally and annually varying water flows and levels that support ecosystems and human livelihoods while providing for other uses such as hydropower, irrigation, and water supply. Many governments and river-management agencies around the world have developed policies to protect environmental flows, and more are doing so all the time. Yet implementation of these policies remains weak. Policy change alone does not result in implementation…

To understand about the issue of fusion between Common Law and Equity it is very important to look back at the history of equity, where common law is widely discuss and debates, the same should also apply to equity.

So, why don’t we know a little bit about this activity, and let’s see if fishing becomes our new preferred…

around not to leave numerous creatures that will surprise in the middle of the ocean. By applying chemistry and biology knowledge that I am currently taking, into this field, researching the way to create environment to change the way of farming in aquaculture industry to less detrimental ways for marine organisms is my primary goal. Furthermore, in terms of entire biosphere, which is not limited to sea life community itself, I would like to research the way to prevent or restore marine…

causes major negative impact to the ecosystem and may constitute ecoside. About 10% Nigerian mangrove forests has been wiped out due to oil spill. The rainforest which was previously as large as 7,400 km² of land also had disappeared. The crops and aquacultures were destroyed through the contamination of the…
