Planet Shrimp Analysis

The purpose of this lab was to answer the question, “Of the saline solutions of 0%, 0.5%, 1%, 1.5%, and 2% sodium chloride (NaCl), which solution will yield the highest hatching viability for the brine shrimp?” The hypothesis was that the saline solution most precise to the concentration of NaCl in seawater, which is approximately 3.5%, will yield the highest hatching viability. Therefore, the 2% NaCl solution will yield the highest hatching viability.

Reaching a length of up to 5.5 centimeters (or about 2 inches), the bigclaw snapping shrimp is the largest member of the family Alpheidae, which are also known as the pistol shrimp. It is found in water up to 30 meters (98 feet) deep from as far north as North Carolina’s Outer Banks to the Brazilian coast. It also is able to survive in areas of rapidly different salinity; A. heterochaelis has be found in environments that range from mesohaline (having a salinity of 5 to 18 parts per thousand) to hyperhaline (having a salinity of 40+ ppt). This means that it lives in environments that range from brackish to seawater of above average salinity. It is most commonly found in areas where cover can be easily found during the day, such as an oyster reef.

Plankton displays amateurish thinking by failing to stealing The Krabby Patty Formula with “Plan Z”. For example, when Plankton first discovered Plan Z, he did not realize that there even was a letter after “Y”. After reviewing all his failed plans, A-Y, Karen mentioned the letter Z. This shows his lack of knowledge for all the plans Plankton may have laying around. Another example could be when Plankton poorly framed Mr. Krabs with a note and a voicemail pretending to be the person who got the crown from Mr. Krabs to then gave to Shell City. Even though it worked out in his favor, he could of made it more believable. Plankton’s style of framing Mr. Krabs demonstrates elementary school thinking. Another example could be when his plans starts

“They see something, walk up to it, pick it up, and maybe beat the crap out of it,” says Justin Marshall, referring to a commonly unknown creature called the Mantis Shrimp. This species often goes overlooked and unnoticed by most of the world and not just because it only grows 2-7 inches (“Peacock Mantis Shrimp” 1). Since it is such an unknown animal, many people do not know what it is or what makes it remarkable. How can the small mantis shrimp, a crustacean whose appearance is more like that of a clown than a ferocious beast, be worth noting in the different fields of science? They are more interesting than they seem. Mantis shrimp possess a vast array of fascinating physical features that set them apart from other sea-dwelling animals: their clubs

Carl hurried through the streets of Boston, his Red Sox baseball cap pulled low over his eyes to cover his graying hair and his mail clutched tightly in his fist. He strode into his cramped apartment and paused in front of the pile of blank canvases leaning against the couch, collecting dust. Carl hadn’t worked in days. His profession wasn’t the kind to call and demand that he return to work. Though he loved the atmosphere of the city, he didn’t envy the life of suits and corporations and business meetings. He preferred to create and, luckily, he was not unsuccessful.

The Mantis Shrimp is a mid sized crustacean that can grow up to 3 to 18 centimeters in size. It is known for its bright colors of blues reds and greens, they are primarily green on the belly it has bright reds and oranges on its legs and spots on its framework, while a bright blue is on its eyes. Females are almost always more orange and red than males which are in more various colors. Their spears or clubs are what define this species, these clubs are what mantis shrimp use as a deadly weapon, they can accelerate these clubs at the speed of a bullet from a .22 caliber rifle. Their eyes can see 12 different color waves the most of any animal discovered on earth. They make their homes by burrowing into the ground or finding old burrows left

His family only trawls at day time and they must pick up the nets every ninety minutes in case of sea turtles, which is the law. One bad thing happening right now in the shrimping industry is the factories being monopolies. There are only three or four shrimp factories present that you can sell your shrimp to. All the factories come together to make their prices lower for the shrimp which makes the shrimper suffer the most. He said there is no regulations on the factories that say how low they can go on the prices which makes the shrimpers pay it because if they do not want to then the factories can just get imported shrimp for cheaper. It gets frustrating for the shrimpers because when this happens there is no money in shrimping and will make most of them stop shrimping. Shrimping is a dying industry. The government must do something about this if they want shrimping to stay around any longer. He also says that with the diversions being made all over the south that they are destroying the salt water industry with shrimping, fishing, and catching oysters. The water is getting too much fresh water mixed in and is killing all the oyster

Pierce Trudeau James White ENC 1102-064 17 March 2015 Lobsters are Animals too People rarely ever think about the food they eat. Recently a lot more people are starting to look at what is in the food they eat through nutritional facts like calories, sugar, sodium, fat content, and plenty more; but even health concerns shared by many people isn’t even the majority in the world today. When looking at how only a minority of people pay attention to what’s’ in the food they are eating, it’s not hard to conclude that a much smaller amount of people are even looking at what they are eating as a larger concept.

Started as an infographic project, Behind Your Plate is now an overfishing campaign. Targeting people who are not aware of this issue and want to learn and share the information. The research behind is based on articles and scientific reports from organizations such as World Wild Life, Greenpeace, and National Geographic. One of the main challenges was to show the juxtaposition between a restaurant style and the facts about overfishing, which are related to human consumption. Therefore, the goal of Behind Your Plate is to help the audience to have a greater understanding of the causes, consequences, and solutions related to overfishing.

(Wachirasiri et al., 2016) examined the effects of amino acid type, concentration and pH on yield, texture, and colour of both cooked and uncooked shrimp after a freeze-thaw cycle and Sensory evaluations of the treated cooked shrimps. This study reported amino acids were also improved yield of white shrimp (table 2). Compared to the control, shrimp treated with glycine, arginine, lysine and proline improved product yield. Treatment with NaCl could improve WHC by thawing yield and cooking yield of the fresh shrimp sample. Chloride ions were more strongly bound to the protein than the sodium ion, resulting to an increase of net negative charge of protein. The electrostatic repulsion and increased interfilamental spaces allowed more water molecules to be penetrated and adsorbed into.

The Berkeley prawn that has been an iconic structure since 1992 has been demolished, despite locals running a public campaign to preserve it.

Mantis shrimp, which is a varicolored creature living in the Indian and Pacific Oceans, is an extraordinary pet, for not only does it colorful body impresses the people but also its powerful appendages, which are a nightmare to crabs, gastropods, and almost all other animals in the sea. Due to its interesting feature, many people at the present favor this species. In addition, some people even want to adopt the mantis shrimps as their pets; nevertheless, there are many hardships coming along with this desire. As a growing infant who can mess up with everything within his or her reach, the mantis shrimp can eat up its neighboring organisms and some marine plants in the tank.

Since the beginning of the human race, the ocean has been a major source of food. People near the shores have been taking of advantage of the ocean’s rich and diverse source of nourishment for centuries, both as a source of food and a livelihood. However, since the dawn of the industrial age, humans have begun to take from the ocean more that it can give. As a result, the ocean can no longer provide the human race with the abundance that it once did. As technology rapidly advances, populations skyrocket, and global warming spreads havoc, the ocean’s biodiversity and once abundant supply of fish is dwindling, calling marine scientists and experts to race to find solutions that will restore the oceans health while battling world hunger.

Walmart has a large retail seafood business and it is always a challenge to reduce cost and promote sustainability. With upward trend for the demand of sea-food, depletion of the seafood supply is inevitable unless Walmart have a deep engagement of their supply chain. One strategy that Walmart wants to promote to their suppliers is for all of them to take up the Marine Stewardship Council’s certification program. This process will be time consuming, expensive and complex. The depletion of some fish poses a threat to Walmart and its seafood supply chain.

In today’s global economy sustainability is very important; from the biological aspect to the industries they all play a role on the marine environment. As world population increases the demand of fish rises causing overfishing. Certain laws have been placed to limit the amount of wild fishing to reduce the risk of endangerment. To meet the demand of the population, fish farms are introduced. Pollution and health related issues are part of the challenges of fish farming. Sustainability also affects social areas such as beaches.
