Over the next few pages I plan to look into a few of the research sources that I’ve come across in the past month or so doing research for our Individual Endeavor. However, I am not writing to draw conclusions and create a thesis statement. Rather, I plan to dive deep into what makes each piece of writing what it is, from its audience, genre, situation and medium. The first source that I will be exploring in this essay comes from the Journal of Sustainable Tourism. The article, entitled “Integrating Indigenous values with capitalism through tourism: Alaskan experiences and outstanding issues” focuses on the relationship between the indigenous people of Barrow, Alaska and the tourism that sustains a sizeable part of their economy. The second source is a piece published in High Country News, an online news site catering to primarily outdoor concerns in the western part of the country. It is entitled “What 's killing the Yukon 's salmon? An ecological mystery in Alaska has scientists and fishermen baffled and alarmed.” This articles reports on the decline of Chinook or “King” salmon in the southeast region of the state and the state as a whole, and explores possible causes. I would like to first examine the situations of each source, specifically their authors, Kevin Hillmer-Pegram, who is a faculty member at the University of Alaska: Fairbanks, and Ben Goldfarb, who reports on a variety of topics for High Country News. Obivously, the situations of the authors are…

Determining phylogenetic relationships of marine invertebrate and vertebrate using variation in muscle proteins of different genera; Ostreidae , Teuthida, Pectinidae, Nephropidae, Caridea, Brachyura and Oncorhynchus. Introduction The fundamental core of all biology emanates from evolution, as the great evolutionary biologist Theodosius Dobzhansky once said "Nothing in biology makes sense except in the light of evolution"(1973). Therefore, studying the phylogenetic relationships of different…

Chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) is an ecologically and economically valuable species that is found along the Pacific coastlines of Asia and North America. Unfortunately, many Chinook populations have been steadily declining during the last century, primarily due to a variety of human activities. These threats include hydroelectric dams, chemical pollution from planes (Dietrich, et al., 2012), and sound pollution from industry (Halvorsen et al., 2012). North American governments and…

To create genetically modified salmon the salmons' DNA is altered using genetic engineering. In the genetically engineered salmon, there are the added growth genes from the Oncorhynchus tshawytscha or more commonly known as the pacific chinook salmon, and the switch-on gene from the Zoarces americanus, or more commonly known as the ocean pout. To input these genes from the pacific chinook salmon and the ocean pout into the salmon, recombinant DNA technology is used. The scientists first…

Hypoxia is a period in which a particular body of water has a low available oxygen content.{2} It is know that some species of Teleost fishes and turtles can undergo long periods of hypoxia in inland fresh cold waters, such as thirty minutes in Rainbow Trout Oncorhynchus mykiss all the way up to five and a half months in Crusian Carp Carassius carassius. However it is largely believed that hypoxia tolerance decrease as temperature increases. {2.B} The ability to withstand hypoxia is seen as…

AquaBounty Technologies engaged in the research, development, and commercialization of products using biotechnology to increase the productivity of aquaculture. In the late 1980s, AquaBounty Technologies developed first genetically modified animal, AquAdvantage salmon (Varela 2013, Greenberg 2014). AquAdvantage salmon defined as genetically-engineered Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) which have a rapid-growth phenotype. This salmon contain a single copy of the stably integrated α form of…

Gene flow can decrease when a species moves to a new environment and has low fitness. This causes maladaptation of the species in their new environment (Garant et. al 2007:437). This leads to many theories about gene flow in nature and is the logic of ecological speciation (Garant et. al 2007:437). For one, the rate of dispersal showed be higher than the rate of gene flow, which is the case among many groups. Examples of this have been seem among pea aphid Acyrthosiphon pisum and in sockeye…

scientist could identify which communities, pods, even the group of pods a killer whale belongs to. Killer whale could make more than sixty kinds of voice to communicate with other killer whales. Their voice could also be used to locate the fish, and make fishes act very differently. Distribution: Killer whales inhabited all oceans of the world (Sea world, 2016). They were more common found in cold water area. Killer whales were not common found in warm water or fresh water rivers, but they…
