1. Introduction The most recent research lines are based on understanding wild paralarvae behaviour and prey preferences, refining paralarval nutrition and rearing conditions for O. vulgaris welfare (Iglesias and Fuentes et al., 2014). In the culture of cephalopods, the paralarval life stage is a critical period, especially for octopuses. During this period, the paralarvae must initiate the consumption of a suitable diet to grow, requiring stable conditions for proper development (Iglesias &…

There are three I will share with you today. The reasons are the food chain, killing fish and ruining people's career, and hurting people and killing fish.…

Sea otters number in the wild life is declining rapidly due to two possible problems: environmental pollution and attacks by predators. While the reading passage supports the claim that the decreasement of the sea otters is caused by the pollution, especially by human activities, the lecture points out that the assaults by the predators are the actual problem. First of all, sea otters are vurnerable to be hunted, and they have their natural predators: the orcas. It is not caused by the…

The water was just as welcoming as it had been on the night when Rainsford had fallen off the yacht; not at all. However, he supposed wildly flailing in the deep murky blue of the ocean was better than being torn apart by the pack of hounds. Rainsford held his breath underwater, the salt stinging his eyes. “Clever one, that Rainsford fellow.” General Zaroff remarked, peering at the blustering waters. He lit one of his cigarettes. “What a shame, though. Death by drowning.” Confirming that…

For my endangered species project I chose the coluber constrictor foxii also know as the blue racer snake. I chose this endangered animal because there are very few of them and it is a beautiful species. One of the biggest reasons this animal is endangered is because they are a very docile snake that would rather flee then flight. There are many organizations trying to save this species and others like it. https://www.pinterest.ca/pin/556687203910425502/?lp=true The…

First, the theory that suggests that the strange noises were calls of ocra whales during a courtship ritual. The lecturer refutes this point by saying that this theory is highly unlikely, because the ocra whales lived near the surface of the ocean and the submarines cannot be able to detect in the deep ocean. So, what is state…
