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 &…

Galaxiids generally breed in Autumn and their breeding and migratory patterns differ depending on the species (DOC, 2010). The adults of kōkopu species…

When people think of the most dangerous creature lurking the ocean depths they think of sharks. More specifically, they think of the largest predatory shark and most well-known species, the great white.

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…

The ‘Clever Buoy’ is the world’s first shark detection buoy, which uses advanced and specifically designed sonar and identification software to detect the sharks’ movements.

The Clever Buoy is as an innovation as it has used existing real-time communication technologies for a newly…
