monitoring using mussels was established in North America coastline and estuarine. It’s followed by other countries like Australia, Japan, France, Taiwan, India, and Mediterranean (Goldberg, 1975) in (Widdows and Donkin, 1992). The environmental tolerance ability, abundance, population stability, contaminant metabolism ability and living behavior are the advantages of using mussels in pollution monitoring (Widdows and Donkin, 1992). 3.4. Other (Virus removal) The bivalve ability to absorb and store organic and inorganic compound is widely known. The founding of several viruses in bivalve tissue leads the researchers to observe the potential bivalve to reduce the viral transmission. C. Faust et.al (2009) conducted a study to explore the bivalve (clam) ability in removing the avian influenza virus (AI). In his experiment, he uses wood ducks (Aix sponsa) as the subjects. The duck was exposed by filtered contaminated water and original water. The result indicated that different response of the ducks to the AI. While exposed duck with original water cannot survive, the ducks that are exposed to filtered water remain alive.…

The moray eel is a large species of eel found in warm and temperate waters all around the world. Although they have a snake like appearance, moray eels are in fact fish and not reptiles. The moray eel family, also known as Muraenidae, is extremely diverse. There are around two hundred different species of Muraenidae, many with different color patterns and sizes. Five species of the Muraenidae family are Echidna nebulosa (Snowflake moray), Gymnothorax javanicus (Giant moray), Gymnomuraena zebra…

Advantage Between Invasive and Native Clams and Their Adaptive Feeding Techniques INTRODUCTION An invasive species is an unknown species that disturbs the normal function or structure of an ecosystem. The Asiatic clam (Corbicula fluminea) is an invasive species found in the waterways of the Shenandoah Valley (Yoder 2017). Corbicula fluminea is an r-selected species. This means it yields a lot of offspring which grow quickly and have somewhat short life spans. This gives them an advantage over…

Twenty kids one answer, who will figure it out. Everyone has been given the task to find the mystery mixture. At first they all had different clams. But now it is getting narrowed down. But there are some people that had different opinions. Everyone have been given water, a well tray, and a vial, along with other chemicals. I will explain how the class had gotten answer they did. And how they think it is right. The claim that will be explaining will be citric acid and baking soda. One of the…

Clam Dissection Have you ever gone to a restaurant, ordered clams, oysters, scallops, or mussels and wondered what exactly it was that you were eating? Dissecting a clam (Bivalvia) can be a difficult process to undertake if a science laboratory is not readily available; nevertheless, if following standard lab procedures and with the proper materials, the average amateur scientist will be able to complete it within two hours and maybe even have time to make some of their own explorations. Before…

indicates that the reality of perfect femininity is completing domestic and sexual tasks with equal fervor. In addition to an interesting use of form, Jamaica Kincaid’s use of identity, or rather the lack of identity, is a crucial part in developing the work. The girl in the story is never named; neither is her mother. The setting of the work is Antigua, where the author is from. However, there are only brief details in the story that allude to this such as the accusation of the girl singing…

For my TED Talk critique, I watched Mei Lin Neo’s, “The Fascinating Secret Lives of Giant Clams.” In order to hook the audience, Mei Lin Neo starts by sharing some of the many nicknames she is called due to her constant discussion of giant clams. Beginning the talk this way is intriguing because even just speaking of her nicknames you can tell she is truly passionate about her work. Also, that she understands that her passion can lead to her talking non-stop about a topic that others may not…

I watched the Ted talk video, “The fascinating secret lives of giant clams” by Mei Lin Neo. This speech essentially entails information regarding giant clams, such as their basic size or growth status and most importantly how important/essential they are to their aquatic environment/ecosystem. While this speech was well presented and very informative, there are a few points in which Mei Lin Neo falls short on. Starting with her good points first, she was very confident regarding her topic, which…

Basis-For my science experiment I will be using live clams to filter water and I will use tap water. I was inspired by a previous science fair project where someone tested filters against a clams. In my project, however, I will test if clams filter out vitamins, and then use that water, and tap water, to see which is more healthy to the plant life. If possible, this discovery will help farming by bringing out the nutrients in waste.in the end I will see of my tap water is more effective than the…

in jail but the other prisoner has to clam up. The person that clams up however will get 20 years in prison or if they both clam up and get 1 year each. Now they are really only only thinking about themselves. So the prisoners best idea would be to minus the cost as much as possible by ratting on the other and hoping the other clams up. Therefore they would get zero years. The smart idea is to both stay quiet because then they get 1 year each however. Its harder to decide because they don't know…
