TOP 10 MOST BEAUTIFUL JELLYFISH ON THE EARTH Jellyfish are placed in the animal group of Cnidaria. Jellyfish are considered as the most unusual and beautiful creatures of aquatic life. Jellyfish occupies almost all the oceanic water bodies of the world therefore it is really hard to predict the exact population which resides in water bodies. With above 350 various kinds of Jellyfish in the world, here is a list of the Top 10 most beautiful Jellyfish on Earth. 10. RHOPILEMA ESCULENTUM…

jellyfish-like animals called polyps, connect together to form colonies. These colonies host algae, that provide corals with food, as well as their vivid color, due to the process of photosynthesis. The combination of environmental disturbances such as global warming, pollution, overfishing, invasive species, overexposure to sunlight, and acidity can cause stress to corals, leading them to expel the symbiotic algae that they need to survive. The process called bleaching, which kills the corals…

Coral bleaching events endangers the sustainability of major coral reef ecosystems around the world, such as the Great Barrier Reef (GBR), the Florida Keys and the Coral Triangle Area. The loss of symbiotic algae and/or their pigment lead the bleaching of corals [2]. Moreover, the mass bleaching phenomena degrade the valuable ecosystem services of coral reefs, which are home to 25% of all known marine species and provide approximately $375 billion per year in goods and services around the world…

Proposal Background Duckweed also know as Lemna by her genus is a small plant, that is mostly found in sub-polar and tropics regions in ditches, ponds, lakes and slow flow-flowing rivers. Duckweed have the main function of remove waste of water, however the main problem is that grows fast (Moss et al.2012). Research Question Is the use of different concentrations of phosphates will affect the duckweed? Hypothesis The more phosphate use the more the plant will be affected. Aim To…

temperature and if the temperature increase then the zooxanthellae leaves their tissues making the coral unable to produce food on it's own, thus killing it. (5) If the temperature drops then a symbiotic algae present in the coral that helps it to get food lowers the amount of carbon transfer from the algae to the coral thus killing the coral.…

The Family Labridae is a massive family of fishes (trumped only by gobies). Some of these fishes, commonly known as wrasses, are amongst the perennial favorites in the marine aquarium industry. Chances are that if you remain involved with marine aquaria for any length of time, you will eventually come to own a wrasse. Here are the basics of this diverse and extraordinary family of fishes. Wrasses can be found throughout the Atlantic and the Indo-Pacific in both temperate and tropical seas. Many…

The environmental theme and consequent subject matter of my proposed project was initially inspired by David Attenborough’s three part documentary series The Great Barrier Reef, which addresses the deterioration of the coral reef. The artwork I plan takes further inspiration from artists including Margaret and Christine Wertheim, Bansky and Jenny Pollack. The Wertheims’ The Bleached Reef and Jenny Pollak’s One Degree of Separation, both of which are installations, reference the fragility of…

bone. When algae which corals have are lost we can see bones through corals’ transparent tissue. Stresses cause coral bleaching ―high or low temperature of seawater, strong light, ultraviolet rays, low density of salt, and so on. They prevent algae from photosynthesizing and a surplus of sunlight energy injures algae more. The effect is dying of algae, and corals die too because they get nutrients from algae. Anyway, acanthasters are famous as natural enemies. Actually, they do not eat algae of…

Coral reefs and how chemical substances can affect these living organisms is what I decided to base my investigation on. We tend to have a genuine love for coral reefs whenever we view someone’s scuba diving photos. You see the fishes swimming around those coral reefs, but many do not know their purpose. However, it comes down to learning the importance of coral reefs and how to protect these species that are very much a part of our ocean. A coral reef is very important, coral reefs have many…

The marine mammal that I selected is the Hawaiian Monk Seal. It’s Hawaiian name is ilio-holo-i-ka-uaua or na mea hulu (NOAA, n.d.). Also, the scientific name of the Hawaiian monk seal is Monachus schauinslandi (The Marine Mammal Center, n.d.). The Hawaiian monk seal is one of the most endangered marine mammal. Due to the fact that it’s endangered, they are now protected by the Marine mammal protection Act, the Endangered species Act, and also protected by Hawaii’s state law (The Marine Mammal…
