    Egypt's commercially important trawl fishery in the Gulf of Suez, the percentage of cuttlefish constitutes about 2.31% of the total catch during the fishing season 2014/2015. Few studies were made on the cuttlefish biology of Sepia savignyi Blainville, 1827. Ibrahim et al. (1993) investigated the age, length-weight relationship and theoretical growth of S. savignyi collected from the Gulf of Suez. . El-Gammal and Mehanna (2006) evaluated the cuttlefish fishery status in the Gulf of Suez using

    is measurable because oceans’ pH levels can be measured and monitored to collect data over time. Assuming that target 14.5 is referring to 10% of the entire world’s coastal and marine regions, it is measurable. Target 14.6 is measurable because fisheries subsidies are forms of government intervention that have economic value. Since financial transfers from the government are involved, they should be recorded. Since target 14.7 focuses on the economic benefit of Small Island Developing States and

    All of our Earth 's ecosystems are fragile. The transfer of energy and the interactions within them are kept in frail balance by nature, similar to a tightrope walker balancing themself at a height of a few hundred metres. What would happen if that tightrope walker lost his balance and fell? Similarly, what would happen if a species arrives at a foreign ecosystem? If a non-native species negatively affects its environment, then it is considered an invasive, or alien, species. The human society is

    Discussion Age is the critical information required for understanding the life history and population dynamics of cephalopods, especially considering that these animals have short life cycles and fast growth rates (Chung, et al., 2013). Mantle Length – body weight relationship have several applications, namely on fish biology, physiology, ecology, and fisheries assessment. It is an important item in the stock assessment models allow the estimation of biomass and fish condition from the

    located in the Southern Ocean, approximately 1,700 kilometers from the Antarctic continent and 4,100 kilometers south-west of Perth.

    2009). Unlike the Delaware Bay region where there is one large, intermixing horseshoe crab population (Swan, 2005; Smith et al. 2009), the New England region is made up of a series of coastal embayments that support populations with relatively limited movement between them (James-Pirri et al. 2005; Smith et al. 2009). Compared to horseshoe crabs in the mid-Atlantic states, Limulus polyphemus populations on New England appear to be more localized, move shorter distances and are not known to migrate

    According to the Climate Change report from the National Academy of Sciences and the Royal Society, the Sun’s “variations have played very little role in the climate changes observed in recent decades” (Society & Academy, n.d.). Moreover, data provided by the report shows that even during periods of low solar activity, the Earth’s average surface temperature has still increased. These findings discredit the argument put forth by John L. Casey. No evidence has shown that the Sun has had a substantial
