Cymothoa exigua is slowly becoming a widely known crustacean-like parasite. Most people tend to refer to this parasite as the tongue-eating louse due to its evasion and reproduction mechanisms. This parasite is only attracted to fish but most importantly the snapper fish. Cymothoa exigua is known as protandric hermaphrodites because they begin as males and later in their life cycle they end up switching sexes. When Cymothoa exigua causes the fish to lose its tongue, it does not entirely affect the fish in any other way.
Life Cycle/ Reproduction
The life cycle of Cymothoa exigua is unknown but one thing for sure is that they undergo sexual reproduction. Scientists believe that when the juvenile parasite first attaches to the fish’s gills, they
The data for Pond 5 were taken first on August 5th, with a temperature of 85.5°F, and wind was headed in a northern direction. Since Pond 5 is quite deep, the group took a small boat out into the middle of the pond about 15 feet away from the shoreline where the water is clear. The data for Pond 3 were taken on August 10th, temperature at time of experimentation was approximately 79.3°F, and wind was northerly. The group walked through the pond to the north of island 1 (Figure 2) and obtained the samples.
Therefore , they obtain these insects by moving gravel , sand and rocks with their top lip that hangs over their bottom lip . They also sometimes resort to eating fish eggs even sometimes their own when they want to . These fish are also a vital part of the aquatic food chain because they give food for larger fish who prey on them . They have a lot of predators , but some of them are a Large Mouth Bass , Rock Bass , Lake Trout, etc .
At Beardsley Lake, my son Bob and I had a good day last Sunday, boating limits up to 14-inches. The elusive copepod parasite is showing up on the rainbows at an early stage where the few attached can be wiped off with a towel. They have no effect on the edibility as they only attach to the

Atwan and others who trenchantly talked about the position of the internet in al-Qaeda 's progression collects evidence of vast amounts of jihadist online activity to craft their case. Chat rooms, emails and Web sites all bristle with jihadist discussion, dissemination, and debate, providing resources vital to individuals studying al-Qaeda. However, the real centrality of such virtual movement to al-Qaeda and its acts of terrorism remains a relatively unexplored theory in these intellectual accounts of the internets
In the bitter cold air of the North Pole, at the very center, stands Chionothyella’s (she-unce-E-Allah) tall and beautiful castle filled with anything imaginable. Chionothyella is the goddess of all falling snow and blizzards. She travels from place to place making it snow beautiful, very different and dainty snowflakes. She creates blizzards in an attempt to be intimidating towards the other, more powerful gods for she is very envious of their power. She doesn’t enjoy the company of others; she likes to be by herself where she isn't bothered so she can focus more on working on her powers and snowflakes. She is first cousins with Poseidon and alliances with Boreas, god of winter and wind. She also has a vicious pet Cerberus that is only obedient to her. The dog is named Xena. She is a sinewy and mighty guard for her palace. Mostly to keep other gods away because Chionothyella wants to make the entire universe covered in her snow and eternal blizzards that she puts
Dallin Ashby, a graduated UF entomology master's student, normally spits crickets with his 11-year-old son Myles Ashby when they participate in BugFest. But this year, his 8-year-old daughter, Eliza Ashby, said she was going to try too.
The enchanting and comely sorceress Circe lived on the island of Aeaea. She welcomed Odysseus’ sailors to her feast, but when they became greedy and devoured everything, she turned them into pigs. They were treated like swine, placed in a pig pen and given fodder to eat. When Odysseus came to rescue his men, she tried to turn him also into a pig, but he would not succumb to her dark magic as he had been given a plant by Hermes to protect himself. Circe later went on to stay with Odysseus for several years, until he and his men pleaded with her to return home. While he was leaving, Circe told Odysseus only to descend to the Land of the Dead, and pay a visit to the blind prophet, Teiresias.
This experiment investigated the effects of changing temperate and salinity on the heart rate of Daphnia sp.. The hypothesis states that the heart rate of Daphnia sp. will be significantly higher at 20oC compared to 10oC. Results showed that the heart rate of Daphnia sp. at a higher temperature correlates with an increased heart rate.
As much as I would like to say it, transferring from a private school to a public school is honestly not a great deal. Trying to be picky with school selections was my first mistake as a rookie. In Omnia Paratus (GILMOIRE GIRLS), notice the dozens of attempts in repeating this three-worded line on the Opening Day for the heavily Scottish inspired school. Oh look, this revolutionised version of a primate fixated her physique, while the rolling stone gathers no moss. Nevertheless, Harambe had nothing on me. On rouge, I was taunted by the amount of people from primary school who transferred to private high schools. While, I was stricken to a state school. Subsequently. I figured that this aforementioned issue would result in no one attending mine.
Jellyfish are very simple creatures with being 98% water, so how would they get energy? Well jellyfish actually have mouths, that they use to eat other plankton, or bigger fish depending on the size. Jellyfish also probably wouldn’t be able to eat if they couldn’t paralzse their food, because it would just swim away. Because a fish swims into the jellyfish’s tentacles, they get zapped or poisoned and eaten by the jellyfish.
Evolution is the process of adaptation through mutation, which allows more desirable characteristics to be passed to the next generation. “Over time, organisms evolve more characteristics that are beneficial to their survival. For living organisms to adapt and change to environmental pressures, genetic variation must be present” (Hutchens et al., 2015). Dionaea muscipula also known, as the Venus flytrap is a carnivorous plant that ancestry has not been discovered and remain unknown based on research completed by Bayer et al. Carnivorous plant have emerged from 6 different ancestry, predominantly arthropods (Hutchens et al., 1996). These plants are autotrophs but obtain nutrients from insects. Many may believe that because the plant is obtaining
The Armillaria solidipes is also known as the honey mushroom and the Armillaria ostoyae. This fungus is found in the Blue Mountains of Oregon. It is about 3.5 miles across, which is around 2385 acres. It’s estimated age is around 2400 years old, but it could be as old as 8650 years.
Hydromyelia, also called syringomyelia, is fluid-filled cavity (cyst) that forms in the center of the spinal cord. This type of cyst is called a syrinx. The cyst is filled with a clear fluid that cushions and nourishes the spinal cord and brain (cerebrospinal fluid, CSF). The spinal cord is a network of nerve cells and nerve connections that carry messages back and forth from your body to your brain. As a cyst grows, it may block these messages and cause weakness and numbness.
