Crustacean

populations are dependent on the plants that the island fox reseeds. The kelp forests surrounding the Channel Islands benefit from everything too as the plants prevent silty runoff. Healthy kelp forests provide safe zone for many important fish and crustacean species helpful for bald eagles and…

Biology Essay - Oran O'Sullivan One of the most dangerous and controversial contaminants today is tributyltin (TBT). Tributyltin is one of the most poisonous substances to be released to the aquatic environment today (Knutzen, 1995). The tributyltin compounds are a subgroup of the trialkyl organotin family of compounds (Extoxnet, 1996). The main use of Tributyltin is as a stabilizer in the manufacturing of plastic products, such as anti-yellowing agent in clear plastics and as a catalyst in poly…

not our only source of oxygen it is a major contributor. “Pesticides have begun to enter the flesh of penguins in the Antarctic and the brains of polar bears and the blubber of whales in the Arctic, all subsisting on plankton and plankton eating crustaceans and fish in areas far from cities and farmland” (page 347). By contaminating the ocean humans are effecting an entire ecosystem and if this continues the results will be catastrophic. “A dead ocean means a dead planet” (page 348). No life…

In ancient Egypt the two main staples of the diet were bread and beer. This was true for the priests and the labors. However the quality most likely would differ greatly between the two. The most common grain was emmer or farro. With this grain they would make breads, porridge, and beer bread. The ancient Egyptians also included protein in their diet. Some of the few examples would be hippos, gazelles, cranes, and other small species. They often preserved fish with salt to dry them out. In fact,…

the velocity of the creek affect the number critters? First we went out to the creek grabbed a sample rock. Then we counted the number of macroinvertebrates on it, such as Water Penny’s, Scud, and Pouch Snails. Some of the macroinvertebrates are crustaceans. Then we documented how many of each critter we found and what group they belong to. As shown in…

Drug discovery represents one of the most promising and highly visible outcomes of marine biotechnology research (Mishra, 2007).Bio-chemicals produced by marine invertebrates, algae and bacteria are very different than those from related terrestrial organisms and thus offer great potential as new classes of medicines. To date, examples of marine-derived drugs include an antibiotic from fungi, two closely related compounds from a sponge that treat cancer and the herpes virus, and a neurotoxin…

heroic and courageous characters that are not seen as a hero at first, but as readers continue, they see that they are actually caring, helpful, and even brave. For example in 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea he says, “Captain Nemo pointed to the hideous crustacean, and he immediately slew it with the butt of his gun.” This shows that Captain Nemo is a character who didn’t seem brave, because of his humble and hidden characteristics that throw off the…

1989). Nymphs feed on may-fly larvae, freshwater crustaceans, and sometimes small fish and tadpoles. Sympetrum derived from Latin means “with rock,” this is significant to their method of predation (citation). Adult Sympetrum bask on rocks to detect prey as it flies by. When prey flies by Sympetrum use their…

turtle are found in the atlantic, pacific, indian oceans, or any tropical waters. They are normally found near reefs rich with sponges. The Hawksbill turtle feeds on sponges and they are also omnivorous and will also eat mollusks, marine algae, crustaceans, sea urchins, fish, and jellyfish. Without them, sponges have the ability to overgrow corals and suffocate the reefs. Hawksbill are important inhabitants of coral reefs. It’s estimated that one turtle one turtle can consume 1,000 pounds of…

Peking duck that is high severity of consequences. In this time, the food poisoning case is result from two reasons. First, since lobster, sashimi and Peking duck are hazardous foods and maintain high protein. Those foods can classify as edible crustaceans, fish and poultry. Protein will breakdown into amino acid that is favour…
