Hermit crab

A long time ago crabs used to walk straight and forward. They lived in an oasis by a desert. They were happy there, they had all that they needed, food, water, shelter and entertainment in a paradise. The oasis was sacred to Poseidon, and he blessed them so they would never have any problems under the oasis boundaries. He did also say that danger lurks out of the perimeters, and to never go outside at night. The crabs were happy with life and listened to him, because why not? They had all that they

Case Study: Red Lobster 1. Why do you think Red Lobster relies on so much on Internet surveys to track customer opinions, preferences, and criticism? What are the advantages of online questionnaires versus traditional surveys conducted over the phone or through the mail? ( Gideon Quarcoo) Red Lobster relies on internet survey for the following reasons: (source: Introduction to Marketing, by McDaniel, Lamb & Hair. Pg 284.) The internet is a phenomenon technological

Red king crabs were collected for stomach analysis and abundance estimates by using a specially designed beam trawl, previously used in surveys for stock assessment by the Institute of Marine Research (IMR). The crab trawl is 6 m wide, 1 m high, and is equipped with a 135 mm mesh size polyethylene net (Sundet & Berenboim 2008). The hauling speed was approximately 1.65 kn. It was not possible to use a fixed standardized trawling distance because of the changing and rocky bottom topography. Four hauls

author puts forth is that horseshoe crabs have evolved over the eras. That they’re not “living fossils”. Horseshoe crabs have “rounded cephalic shields, that were like the extinct trilobites, and an arrangement of legs and gills”, no wonder people think they are living fossils. This is the beginning to how these historic animals have evolved. Three years ago, the author took a trip to Delaware. As his family was walking on the beach they came across some horseshoe crabs mating. He wondered how they have

Diversity and abundance of scavenger species in seagrass beds in comparison to intertidal flat zonations in estuarine environments. Introduction Scavenger species that live in estuarine environments, are organisms that niche in the trophic structure just before detritivores. The energy and nutrients broken down, is then passed back into the ecosystem, where the detritivores further complete the breakdown process of organic matter. They are opportunists when it comes to their diet, scrounging

The present study monitored the direct and indirect Impacts of seismic surveys on fauna of the mangrove using Birds Insects, Crabs, Reptiles and fishes as representative taxa. During the 3D seismic survey, tools, labour and machineries were used inside the mangrove forests. Major sources of faunal impacts observed during the seismic survey operations were from, 1) Physical presence and movement of the labour and machinery within the forest and 2) Noise and vibration generated from shooting (underground

Imagine a place where you can sit on the beach as the waves roll in; the smell of the sea and fresh fish cooking in the distance at a nearby restaurant. A place where you can experience a thrill of blasting over the sand dunes at high speeds in a buggy, visit aquariums, and see wildlife up close. Imagine a place of relaxation, watching the whales migrate across the ocean. A place like this can only be one of a kind, the Oregon coast. The Oregon coast would be a great place to spend a vacation,

“Come on little crabby, come into my pot. Ill slather you in butter, I'll eat you up a lot…”, I sang to my mother as she slowly pulled the crab pot up with her thick, black rubber gloves to protect against the deep red jellyfish that strike with their long tentacles without notice. She pulled the line gently, making sure not to disrupt the structure of the pot and release the delicious bottom feeders we captured that morning. As the pot neared the surface, my siblings and I reached our little heads

In this case, Ron Birch, product manager for the new pasteurized king crab of Phillips Foods, needs to make a decision for the phase II of launch of king crab. He planned to continue the magazine strategy used in phase I, but Cherry Stockworth, vice-president of marketing of Phillips Foods, recommended him to use the budget to support half of cost of International Boston Seafood Show. According to the information given in this case, I don’t think this is an either-or choice, and my recommendation

Yamashiro Restaurant Dave Thomas an American restaurateur and a philanthropist once said, “It all comes back to the basic. Serve customers the best-tasting food at a good value in a clean, comfortable restaurant, and they'll keep coming back.” (thomas). Everyone can agree on Dave Thomas, but I have a couple more criteria to add to his idea of a great successful restaurant. If I go out to eat I might as well pick a place that, though may be expensive, has scrumptious food because why bother going
