Basic Information: The Stenotomus chrysops, commonly known as Scup, are a heavily fished saltwater species. Despite their lean and flakey bone-filled flesh, the scup has been a part of the North American east coast diet since colonial times. In fact, the population of the scup was fished to the edge in the 1990s- but fully recovered its numbers 30-fold by 2009 thanks to seasonal restrictions. Like all other life forms on the planet, the scup is more than a fresh catch at the local fish market.…

The definition of Symbiosis is "the living together in an intimate association of two or more dissimilar organisms". Symbiosis is a crucial part of our existence and a reason for the beginning of life on this planet we call home. According to history of our planet, Earth was formed from absolute nothingness to tiny molecules of thick water vapor and many compounds of nitrogen, carbon dioxide, ammonia, and more. From these molecules, the disorder and order of the molecule reacted with each other,…

in order to fulfil this requirement. This creates an extra cost and unnecessary time and effort (Rozzi & Massardo). 2. Reason: Salmon farming harms the environment by cultivating parasites, releasing chemicals, allowing escapement, creating dead zones, and causing the death of marine…

The ocean is a place of slow, rolling tides, gently gliding above the horizon, a wide expanse of dense, thick, blue water, encompassing diverse organisms ranging from colorful fish to minuscule microbes. It is a calm and peaceful reserve. Murky and opaque, the ocean still conceals much from humanity; science has yet to find the true treasure buried deep within the massive depth of the ocean—its potential for medicine. Its potential lies within its stationary algae strapped to the floor, its…

As catches have gradually become smaller, so the mesh sizes used in fishing nets have decreased, allowing smaller and smaller fish to be caught. Many of these are too small to be used as food, so they are crushed to be made into either animal food or fertiliser. Fishing using nets is indiscriminate. Any fish which get in the way of the net will be caught in it if they are too big to get through the mesh. For every one tonne of prawns caught, three tonnes of other fish are killed and thrown away…

1. Introduction Ekofisk Oil Field is the North Sea’s first giant oil field which was discovered by Philips Petroleum in 1969 and approved for development in 1972. Ekofisk oil field is an oil field in block 2/4 which located at the Norwegian Continental Shelf of the North Sea (Figure 1.1). The total recoverable reserves of Ekofisk Oil field originally were 3, 324.2 million bbl oil, 156.1 bn ccm gas and 14.5 million tonnes of NGL. As of December 2012, the remaining recoverable reserves are…

leading to more commercial fishing accidents resulting in the injury or death of leatherbacks. Research from Carranza, A., Domingo, A., & Estrades, A. (2006) suggests that since the leatherback population declined so rapidly in the Pacific, that pelagic longline fisheries in the Atlantic should be closely monitored so that damage to leatherback turtles is minimized to the greatest extent possible. Additionally, during breeding periods research from Witt, M. J., Bonguno, E. A., Broderick, A. C.,…

As you consume bottled water, you are also taking the risk to get cancer and various reproductive damages. Human body need water, it is our biological needs. However, people choose to drink bottled water is just for them to meet their secondary needs. If you could choose between bottled water and drink water fresh out from the tap, I believe you would go for bottled water. No doubt that our body needs water to survive. In US, most of the people have the access to tap water, but there is a large…

The economic impact that fishing and hunting has in New York is easily seen in the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's 2006 National Survey of Fishing, Hunting and Wildlife-associated report. This report states that in 2006, a total of 1.2 million resident sportsmen in New York spent $5 million a day for an annual total of $1.8 billion. This amount of money definitely has an economic impact on the state of New York as well as an impact on many lives. The 1.2 million resident sportsmen in New York…
