government of Canada studied the production trends of the fishing industry and the decline it has had over the span of four years. This studied showed that in 2004, the Maritime district of Canada had produced 60,789 tonnes of fish and by 2008 this number had dropped down to 40,485 tonnes of fish.

On average, males are 3.3 metres (10.8 ft) tall at the shoulder and 5.5 tonnes (12,130 lb) in weight, while females are much smaller at 2.5 metres (8.2 ft) tall and 3 tonnes (6,610 lb) in weight. The most characteristic features of African elephants are their very large ears, which they use to radiate excess heat, and their trunk, a nose and an extension of the upper lip…

Climate Change, a human cause “Climate change will displace millions…negatively impact yields of crops…increase of ill health in [people]… and cause conflict over resources.” (“Official prophecy of…”) Climate change is a predicted event, by scientists, that is happening right now and causing the Earth’s temperature to change drastically. The quote mentions only very few of the problems that will come with it, but where did climate change come from. We naturally look for others to blame for the…

(Englart, 2015) the Hazelwood coal power station, Victoria, Australia is one of the most polluting coal power stations in the world. Furthermore, (Milman, 2015) from the Guardian Australia, stated that yearly, the Hazelwood station, emits 15.5 million tonnes of greenhouse…

Nuclear power us one of the biggest and best power sources known today. Nuclear fusion and fission makes a lot of excess usable energy. It produces a lot more energy than wind, solar, coal, or fossil fuels do, and they actually are better for the environment than coal or fossil fuels, producing helium rather than carbon monoxide.In short, nuclear power is a good idea because we can take care of the nuclear waste, the reactors have better safety measures and protocols than normal factories, is…

Countries trade with each other when they lack in resources and also are inefficient to satisfy their own wants and needs. The production of goods and services in countries that need to trade is based on two fundamental principles, first analysed by Adam smith in late 18th century. Adam smith focused on only one factor of production i.e. labour. The other important principle is comparative advantage by David Riccardo, who also considered labour as the only unit of input. There are many advantage…

Communists first came to power in Russia in 1917 during the Bolshevik Revolution and in time were able to expand its empire and control in the form of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR), which by 1940 had control of over 110 million people spanning over fifteen countries. This union remained until the early nineties; however, the regime showed signs of cracking long before then with a rapidly declining economy which was unable to compete with its capitalist competitors. This caused…

To some extent, his rule was beneficial to Soviet Union, but overall, it was majorly devastating, particularly to the wellbeing of the Russian people. During his time as leader, Stalin implemented many significant changes within the Soviet Union, such as his program of rapid industrialization and modernization, which achieved huge increases in Soviet productivity and economic growth,…

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 &…
