Lunge For The Sponge Research

As far back as I can trace my memories I remember that as a child I always liked to be in the water. Swimming pools were my absolute favorite. Wherever I went, I would always ask if there was a swimming pool. However, things changed when my parents took me to Florida for the first time. When I looked out onto the ocean my parents told me that the first words that came out of my mouth were, “Look mom, dad it’s a huge swimming pool!” I bet anyone can guess what happened next; I took off on a mad dash right into the ocean. The thing is, it was nothing like a swimming pool, but it seemed so much better. Over time, I became fascinated with all of its characteristics and still, I am

It’s a beautiful day at the beach, the sun is shining down on you as you float and drift on top of the waves. As you lay there without a care in the world, you are suddenly interrupted by a massive swarm of jellyfish; also known as a bloom. Not only does this send you into sudden terror, it also causes a much bigger threat to the ecosystem below you. The excessive growth of jellyfish swarm drastically lowers the population of fish eggs in the ecosystem. Because of this, fishermen lose millions of dollars. People in local communities are figuring out ways to solve this mass production.

Over 25 years ago, a new species was discovered that completely shocked the world, a crayfish-like no other, named the marbled crayfish.As their name suggests, they include an alluring brown colored marbled pattern, which is identical from individual to individual. To this day, the marbled crayfish is more diverse than any other crayfish because it is able to clone itself without any involvement of a male, in a matter of hours. This crayfish is new mutant species which has generated immense concern as a potential invasive species. What really shocks the scientists is the fact that they can reproduce at extraordinary rates from 250 to 300 clones in a few months and are already spreading rapidly throughout the globe. This creature was never

You scratch Giant Crab 1 in the left first leg from behind, fracturing the chitin and bruising the fat!

Most people would not appreciate a stranger walking into their home unannounced, taking their food, and making themselves at home. That is exactly what lionfish are doing along the Florida coastline. Lionfish are an invasive species that need to be contained. The reefs that they consistently invade off of the coast of the Florida are not the lionfish's natural habitat. This invasive species takes shelter and resources out of the reef that other species need to survive, and they destroy the environment around them. Humans have complicated the balance of the ecosystem by introducing lionfish, and now they need to help rectify the situation.

In the modern world, the media plays a massive role in an individual’s life. Whether it be watching the news to gain knowledge about their surroundings or just watching daytime television for amusement, it is no question that watching television is one of the most popular pastimes. With a simple click of the remote, a million shows are available for the viewer to watch. Even though it is convenient, it contributes to a developing problem that only modern humans have come to face: the increasing number of aggressive attitudes and behavior found in children.

Imagine living at the bottom of the sea with little food to eat and you are suddenly caught. You realize you are coming up through the sea. You are pulled out from the water and you are having trouble breathing. The fishermen throw you onto the deck of the boat and you suddenly realize you have just lost everything but then after the picture is taken they throw you back into the sea. You swim back to the bottom of the sea and see your mate and babies. The blob fish was allowed to do this because they respond to the environment, reproduce, gets energy, exchanges gases, and

For the control, the time for trial three was 0.45 seconds, for trial four — 0.53 seconds, and for trial five — 0.36 seconds (Appendix A). Data for the 75% Water, 25% Cornstarch composition was as follows: the time for trial three was 0.38 seconds, for trial four — 0.46 seconds, and for trial five — 0.43 seconds (Appendix A). Next, trial three for the 50% Water and 50% Cornstarch mixture resulted in 0.6 seconds, the second longest time recorded in the experiment (Appendix A). Trial four for this composition was 0.35 seconds, and trial five resulted in 0.45 seconds (Appendix A). Finally, the 25% Water and 75% Cornstarch had the same results as the first two trials — the marble did not sink into the blue mixture in trials three, four, or

If you were a fan of DC Nation, you'd be forgiven for still being a little mad about how that whole mess ended up. From putting Green Lantern and Young Justice on an unexpected hiatus to eventually cancelling the entire lineup altogether, Cartoon Network could have hardly handled these shows any worse. To make matters worse, no official reasons for cancellation were ever given.

Krill, also known as “pink gold,” are tiny zooplankton that are found in the ocean. These small creatures have been living in the worlds oceans for many centuries. However, it is very difficult to answer when exactly the krill species was discovered because of the fact that krill have no fossil record. Instead, scientist compared the rDNA of krill to rDNA of krill ansestors. The estimated discovery of krill is about one hundred and thirty million years ago (Jarman par. 1). Krill are tiny shrimp like creatures that range from eight to sixty millimeters or two and a half inches. They have gills located on swimming legs and other legs that are used for feeding. Krill have huge black eyes and they are mostly transparent with a bright red shell.

Folks, this is good huntin', cookin' and eatin'. This is you pitted against the monster of the deep—with the added benefit of a convivial evening in good company with a congenial bunch of friends. The feeling of having braved your fears will make the subsequent relaxation and unwinding all the sweeter. I must warn you, however, that this is neither for the fain-hearted nor for the squeamish: this hunt will separate the men from the boys in the truest sense. The self-inflated macho braggart will be left by the wayside, for that breed is at heart a cowardly bully and no man at all.

In the experiment the first step would be creating a null hypothesis that allowed for any observed differences which could be caused by sampling or experimental error. A total of 66 isopods were used among the three trials conducted. The average dimensions of the sponges used was 5cm in length, 3cm in width, and 1cm in height. Using a 3 ml transfer pipette to moisten two of the sponges. Adding water to one side of each sponge and adding water to the other side in 3mL quantities. This would give us a total of 6 milliliters that the sponges absorbed. By taking the average dimensions of the 2 damp sponges they came out to be 5.75cm in length, 3.4cm in width, and 1.1 in height. Before you can start the next process make sure the lamp is 20cm above

What if a person could go swimming and be eco-friendly at the same time? With the creation of a new technology, Sponge Suit, which uses 3D printing and nano-scale clean-tech material, that question has an answer (Spongesuit). That answer is yes.

Seafloor sediments come from a variety of sources, including small living organisms from the overlying sea water, broken material from area transported to the sea by streams or wind, fiery remains of volcanoes, and chemical precipitates that comes directly from seawater. A space amount of it starts as dust from space. In other words, the particles found in silt on the ocean bottom change significantly in synthesis and record an intricate interchange of procedures that have acted to shape, transport, and protect them in Earth's piece.

In “Sponge erosion under acidification and warming scenarios: differential impacts on living and dead coral”, Amber Stubler, Bradley T. Furman, and Bradley J. Peterson acknowledges that climate change and ocean acidification will disproportionately impact the growth of calcifying organisms in coral reef ecosystems. Simultaneously, sponge bio-eroders, will be a growing threat as seawater pH level decreases. Stubler, Furman and Peterson emphasizes that while species vary in degree of vulnerability, the effect of acidification on coral health, calcification, survival, and reproduction has been revealed to be negative. Concurrent inflation of sea surface temperatures as result of elevated C02 will impact coral calcification and survival on reefs.
