...schmichael Brine Shrimp lab 2013 9/10/13 Introduction Artemia salina or (Brine Shrimp) belong to the Anthropoda phylum. Brine Shrimp are found in a variety of different habitats, ranging from temporary ponds to estuaries, lakes and rivers. A Brine Shrimp’s ability to inhabit various environments can be attributed to their tolerance of a range of salinities. Brine Shrimp have been found to survive in salinities from 0% to 15%. When hatching Brine Shrimp the highest number of eggs will hatch at a salinity of 7.5%. The ability to adapt to new environments gives Brine Shrimp a distinct advantage among their aquatic community, and allows them to successfully reproduce and survive within their environment. Materials and Methods In determining the optimal salinity for hatching brine shrimp eggs, seven samples were made with salinities ranging from 0%, 3.5%, 5%, 7.5%, 10%, 12.5%, and 15%. Four trials were performed for each of the seven samples. The room temperature and the water used were both at 72°F. The salt used to create the samples was supplied by Carolina Biological Supply Company. The seven ranging salinities were prepared in 100 mL samples. Seven masses of salt were measured on a scale (0g, 3.5g, 5g, 7.5g, 10g, 12.5g, and 15g) and were corresponded to a beaker filled with 100 mL of distilled water. For each sample, four trials were replicated by filling 30 mL plastic vials with 25 mL of solution. 2400 cysts (one...

...The Effect of Calcium on Hatching Brine Shrimp Eggs science fair project will investigate how the addition of various amounts of calcium to brine shrimp eggs will affect their hatch rates. I was drawn to this area because I have an interest in how several outside factors can affect the nature of a process. My hypothesis for this lab is that the larger amount of calcium added into a petri dish will result with a faster hatching rate due to the extra nutrients. The independent variable of this lab is the concentrations of calcium, while the dependent variable is the brine shrimp eggs hatch rate. The constant is petri dish A that will have no calcium added. I plan on measuring this rate through observing the individual petri dishes every twelve hours under a magnifying glass and counting the number of eggs that hatch. The science of this lab can be traced back to the background...

...evolution and natural selection, and each play an important role in ecology. Robinson’s field study should alter variables of life span, growth rate, and body size to understand the evolution of the threespine stickleback species. Original Observations of Researchers The field study by Beren Robinson is a study to determine how the threespine stickleback species of fish have evolved. The threespine sticklebacks went through an increased era of time. Only two species of threespine sticklebacks inhabit in a lake. Original observations of researchers suggest that opposing selective pressures in open-water and shallow water are factors in the evolution of the threespine sticklebacks (Smith & Smith, 2009). Robinson’s study proves a different analysis and suggests natural selection is a key factor. The study by Beren Robinson and the department of Zoology at the University of Guelph starts with the sampling of a population of threespine sticklebacks. From the sampling Robinson observes the habitats of open-water and shallow water fluctuates morphologically. Therefore, Robinson’s hypothesis states the threespine sticklebacks diverse phenotypes are creation of natural selection supporting the discrepancy in the population. To test Robinson’s hypothesis he nurtures two forms...

...History The golden age of marine mycology occurred from 1960-1990 with the research and discovery of most of the roughly 500 species of obligate marine fungi. Much of said research was conducted from 1980-2000; this 30 year period saw the report of nearly half of the marine fungal species currently known (Jones et al. 2009; Jones, 2011). That being said, marine fungi are vastly understudied and under rated in comparison to marine plants, animals, and other microorganisms; frequently they are omitted or only briefly referenced in marine biodiversity and ecology text books (Jones and Pang, 2012). The cladistics of marine fungi is currently in a state of flux, with new taxa being discovered as molecular techniques such as DNA and RNA analysis via polymerase chain reactions, and gel electrophoresis are implemented (Ald et al 2005). Even though fungus-like organisms such as oomycetes are not fungi, marine mycologists often study them as they perform similar functions, and until recently most had been classified as fungi based on their morphological similarities (Jones, 2011). These fungus-like organisms are eukaryotic, heterotrophic, zoospores, have chitin containing cell walls, and similar life cycles to fungi (Neuhauser et al. 2012). Conventionally terrestrial or freshwater species are also included in the marine fungal group as facultative species; this is due to their active ecological role in the marine, and estuarine environment. Here is broad, but accepted definition for...

...CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION As the demand of Food Industry continues to upsurge at the present time, people as the consumers tend to explore for a unique food outlet which can offer products suitable to their taste and preferences. Since meals on the go are nothing new in the Food Service Industry, there is an outgrowing demand of people who are looking for healthy, “Home- Cooked Meals” and finding them outside their traditional way of eating. Food that is flavorful and healthy is making the grade, which explains why ethnic or native meals are among top home meal replacement preferences. Hence, Food chains are becoming popular already. Considering this fact, the proposed business is entitled “Harampangan ha Sinirangan”, this has the quickness of the service in fast-food chains and the convenience that most upscale restaurants gives to its customers and top it all with meals and delicacies that are inspired by purely Eastern Visayas Cuisine. The local residents and tourists as the major target beneficiaries, tend to discover a place where to gather, relax, enjoy and eat something new. Having these ideas, the proposed business would be a place that would cater with that needs and wants. It would be first Food Outlet that would offer purely native meals and delicacies. The proposed business would be situated at Real Street, Sagkahan Tacloban City. It is therefore accessible and is located near with the prospective target consumers. The proposed business would not only...

...A Review of Literature Related to Oil Spill Dispersants 1997-2008 for Prince William Sound Regional Citizens’ Advisory Council (PWSRCAC) Anchorage, Alaska by Merv Fingas Spill Science Edmonton, Alberta PWSRCAC Contract Number - 955.08.03 Disclaimer: The opinions expressed in this PWSRCAC-commissioned report are not necessarily those of PWSRCAC September, 2008 ii Abstract This report is a review of the literature on oil spill dispersants published from 1997 to August, 2008. The report identifies and focusses on recent advances in dispersant effectiveness, toxicity, and biodegradation. Other topics such as application, use, behaviour and fate are also covered. The prime motivation for using dispersants is to reduce the impact of oil on shorelines, thus the application must be successful and effectiveness high. As some oil would come ashore, discussion remains on what effectiveness is required to significantly reduce the shoreline impact. A major issue is the actual effectiveness during spills so that these values can be used in estimates for the future. The second motivation for using dispersants is to reduce the impact on birds and mammals on the water surface. The benefits of using dispersants to reduce impacts on wildlife still remain unknown. The third motivation for using dispersants is to promote the biodegradation of oil in the water column. The effect of dispersants on biodegradation is still a matter of dispute. Some papers state that dispersants inhibit...
