...“Fish Tank” by Andrea Arnolds “Fish Tank” is a film directed by Andrea Arnold and starring newcomer Katie Jarvis and Michael Fassbender. It chronicles teenage angst in poverty-stricken Britain. Anytime I watch movie I always go by the rule that first 10 minutes of a film must do something to draw me into the story. If I think of going to the bathroom or being hungry, chances are I will not enjoy it. I bring this up because in Mia's world, things were taking such and immediate turn from the start that I no time to think about anything else because I became genuinely interested in what the will happen to this girl. The film is loaded with amazingly memorable characters. The film stars eighteen-year-old Katie Jarvis as fifteen-year-old hip-hop dance enthusiast Mia Williams. Mia is a girl who is so fed-up with the world around her she's at war with it. She's friendless, has a younger sister whom I'm quite certain is possessed by Satan, and a mother who's a drunk, a hussy, and would just as soon slap Mia as look at her. She's a volatile girl in a volatile world. Within the first two minutes we learn a ton about Mia as a person. She makes a phone call to her friend -- a friend we find out quickly - Mia has lost to a falling out because she can't control her temper. After the phone call, she jogs to the same friend's house, and throws rocks at the girl's dad to ensure he leaves a message for his daughter. Immediately after this, Mia gets into a fight with a group...

...Stinging Catfish, Heteropneustes fossilis (Bloch, 1792) Md. Jobaer Alam 1, Md. Ghulam Mustafa 1, Md. Abdul Khaleque 2. 1 2 Department of Fisheries, University of Dhaka, Dhaka-1000, Bangladesh Institute of Food Science and Technology, BCSIR, Dr. Kudrat-E-Khuda road, Dhaka-1205 Abstract: To evaluate the effects of Vitamin C of formulated feed on growth performance, feed utilization efficiency and body composition of shing fish, Heteropneustes fossilis (Bloch, 1792) an experiment was conducted for sixty days in nine plastic tanks. During the rearing and feeding trial in the laboratory condition, the change in growth and feed utilization by the shing fish fed on three different Vitamin C level have been assessed by the determination of condition factor (K), survival rate (SR), specific growth rate (SGR%), feed conversion ratio (FCR), feed efficiency and average daily gain (ADG) and protein efficiency ratio (PER). All the water quality parameters specifically- Temperature (0C), Dissolved oxygen (DO), Carbon dioxide (CO2) and pH in the plastic tanks were highly monitored and maintained. The highest FCR was found in the control while the lowest was measured in treatment 2. The values of PER for treatment 2 was higher than control and treatment 1. The condition factor was highest in treatment 2 but not significantly mentionable with others. The feed efficiency is higher in control and declined gradually between treatment 1 and treatment 2. The value of Average daily gain (ADG)...

...INNOVATIONS WATER SUPPLY ANALYSIS COMMUNITY FEEDBACK ON WATER WATER QUALITY ANALYSIS TECHNOLOGY REVIEW RECOMMENDATIONS FURTHER WORKS ADDITIONAL INNOVATIVE OPTIONS FOR CONSIDERATION WASTE WATER TREATMENT ANALYSIS EDUCATIONAL SUPPORT MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENTS TECHNOLOGY REVIEW RECOMMENDATIONS All households in Devikulam use water from the village tank for drinking and cooking. Households in the village have their own taps linked to the village supply, however households in the colony are not directly linked to the village supply, they use a common tap to attain suitable drinking water. Access to the village tap for drinking water is only available for one hour in the morning and one hour in the evening, thus water is collected in large vessels for daily use. Households in the colony also have common taps, linked to the water tank in the colony, however due to the quality of this water it is not suitable for drinking and is used only for washing and cleaning. Water Supply Analysis The development of a safe and reliable water supply system has vast economic, social and environmental benefits to the Devikulum community. Currently, the community water is supplied from three different bores, one of which has been identified as ‘saline’ by those living in the colony. Water from this bore is not used for human consumption but for other purposes such as washing, flushing and cleaning. The two other bores along with a 30 000 litre storage tank and a thorough distribution...

...fingerlings and juveniles were studied under natural photoperiods of 12/12 h light/dark cycle using a complete random design. Triplicate group of 10 fish with an initial mean weight of 8.5 ± 0.1 g and 34.3 ± 0.1 g respectively per tank (measuring 52 x 33.5 x 21 cm). A commercial feed (COPPENS) with crude protein of 42% and ether extract 12% was fed for 8 weeks over four feeding frequencies studied (once, twice, thrice and four times). Mean weight gain, relative growth rate and the specific growth rate were all significantly different (P < 0.05) across feeding levels except at thrice and four times feeding levels. The feed conversion ratio was lowest on three times a day feeding level both for the juvenile and fingerling (0.66 and 0.73, respectively). Although net profit value, in both juvenile and fingerling group are not significantly different, the investment cost analysis and the gross profit between fish fed thrice and four times are equally not significantly (P > 0.05) different. The results of this experiment, both at the juvenile and fingerling stages indicate that fish could be fed three times a day with maximum growth and profit. Key words: Feeding frequency, feed utilization, growth, economic viability, Clarias gariepinus.

...to continue. Based on the information obtained from lab, most animals cannot sustain anaerobic glycolysis and intense exercise for a long period of time because there is a limit in carbohydrate fuels and end products accumulate. The goal of this experiment was to use blood lactate concentrations as an indicator of the amount of anaerobic metabolism used. Also, this experiment is conducted to observe the speed of recovery after the use of anaerobic metabolism. Materials and Methods Blood samples were collected from 63 individuals of the species Fundulus grandis. The fish were subject to different levels of rest and exercise. Some had very minimal handling from an aerated tank, while others were exercised for five minutes, had sixty minutes of recovery after exercise and one hundred and eighty minutes for recovery. From each tank, a fish was obtained by each group and placed in a bowl of MS-222 until the fish lay belly up in the solution. Immediately following, blood samples from a total of 15, 17, 15 and 16 individuals were collected and added to perchloric acid to stop metabolic reactions...

...As a result, these fishes have become excellent candidates for aquaculture, especially in tropical and subtropical regions. Tilapias live in freshwater ecosystems, but can also tolerate water that contains low levels of salt. They are most often grown in ponds, cages and rice fields. Tilapias prefer a warmer water temperature that is why it’s the second most cultured fish in the Philippines. White bean nutrition facts show a complete nutrition source that has significant amounts of essential amino acids, as well as an abundance of unsaturated fat, minerals, vitamins, and protein. Also, it contains no cholesterol and is a great source of plant protein that can substitute for meat, poultry, or other meats. For this reason, white bean is a good source of protein. Due to the high cost of commercial feeds, the researchers thought of utilizing white bean, which is a good source of protein, as main ingredient for an alternative supplemental feeds. Small quantities of fish feed can be made quite easily in the laboratory, classroom or at home, with common ingredients and simple kitchen or laboratory equipment. Fish farmers, hobbyists and anyone interested in aquaculture will not only save money but they will also ensure consistent quality of their fishes. Statement of the Problem The main concern of this research study is to determine if the white bean-based pellets are effective as supplemental feed for the growth of baby tilapia. Furthermore, the researchers will also answer...

...Food Deserts Chris Richardson Eng/147 3/16/2015 Myrene Magabo Food Deserts Have you ever considered not having access to good healthy food? There are large amounts of people who don’t have access at all especially in deteriorated urban settings which suffer from a form of food deprivation called food deserts. Cities such as Detroit, have areas where mini- marts and fast food restaurants are their easiest, if not only access to food. In some cities people are becoming creative in solving this problem with a community driven “grow your own” approach that improves local health and economy simultaneously. Education is the First Step to Healthy Food Choices “Low quality food is resulting in diabetes, obesity, and sickness from processed food” (Bybee 2009). Bybee (p15) paraphrases Will Allen with the ideas that if people are not educated about good food choices, it makes a difference in what they choose to eat. Moreira and Padrão (2004) found lower economic classes may not have education on food nutrition decreasing the occurrence of healthy food choices. By being aware of best food choices when variety and fresh produce is available food dependent sickness is almost entirely eliminated. Once educated, access to better food choices depends on local availability. When there are few local grocery stores it takes time, transportation and money to gain access to healthy food, let alone any food. After the great recession in which grocery stores went...

Owners of aquariums take pride in their masterpeices and many consider them as one of the main decorative elements in their home. With this line of Sea~sonal decor, your fish and tank can change with the seasons and celebrate the holidays with the rest of the family. The Christmas line would consist of little bubble blowing fireplaces complete with stockings for the fish, Christmas Tree shaped faux plant life, and peel decals of snowflakes, garland,etc. Halloween would have little fish sized tombstones and spooky trees along side the haunted house and full moon back drop. The possibilities are endless. Industry and Market Feasibility While a large industry of aquarium decor is available and there are many suppliers, I think that what makes this product line even more feasable is the specialization of holiday decor, which is unchartered water (pun intended) and not something that is really available. There are plenty of suppliers of the materials used to make these things and the customers are definately looking for products that are differentiated. The niche market...

...concept of producing ornamental fish that had glowed fluorescence color throughout their bodies. Dr. Pruchansky had previously developed the genetic modification that was needed to produce these fluorescent fish. Because of this development, Blake and Crockett were not able to patent this idea therefore they changed their business strategy from development to one of licensing to use existing technology in hopes of packaging and reselling. Although Dr. Pruchansky gave Blake and Crockett a good faith agreement to license his patents for the genetically altered fish, he later withdrew from this agreement and decided to pursue actions that would make it difficult for Yorktown Technologies to be successful. Dr. Pruchansky worked tirelessly to convince regulators that Yorktown Technologies’ products were a threat to the environment. It is believed that Dr. Pruchansky’s motives for making these statements were questionable because he insisted his own fluorescent fish were unequivocally safe. In the end, Yorktown Technologies was able to obtain rights from the National University of Singapore to market the fluorescent zebra fish. The marketing environment faced by Yorktown Technologies is that difficult because they cannot seem to get a successful distribution strategy. The controversy and political stigma surrounding GloFish may hinder marketing and distribution strategies. Environmental groups are concerned with the safety of genetically altered fish and the impact they would have...

...Negative impacts of Dinoflagellate algae: economic, ecologic, and human health hazards ABSTRACT Increasing pollution both atmospheric and oceanic are encouraging algal growth and increasing the frequency and geographic range of high density dinoflagellate blooms. Public health and economic impacts, as well as negative ecological effects of the aquatic environment are increasing the scientific research done on toxic dinoflagellate species. Contaminated bivalves are causing paralytic shellfish poisoning (PSP) and diarrhetic shellfish poisoning in humans (DSP); with the number of cases increasing steadily in the last 40 years. Toxins released by certain species of the phylum dinoflagellate are the cause of this spreading contamination. Algal bloom locations are dictated by water currents and synaptic weather patterns, and their movement makes it difficult to pinpoint the origin of these blooms. Measuring the level of toxins in shellfish is currently the best way to chart the growing density of these blooms, and to prove the masses of algae are of growing concern. In this review the negative impact dinoflagellate algal blooms are having on aquaculture, human health hazards, and reasons for the increasing frequencies/densities of blooms will be covered; additional information on the shortcomings of incomplete scientific data complied on algal blooms and why scientific research is now being sought after will be reviewed. BACKGROUND Few species of phytoplankton produce...

...A water source should consistently yield a quantity of water sufficient to satisfy the requirements of the consumer. Streams and rivers Streams and rivers offer more reliable yields but may be susceptible to pollution and exhibit variable quality. The risk and extent of pollution depends on the catchment and the activities being undertaken on it. Small streams often exhibit variable quality because of the activities of man and animals within the catchment. The quality of surface waters may show a strong seasonal variability. Turbidity may be highest following periods of heavy rainfall. Water treatment will require a minimum of filtration and disinfection and should be designed for the worst expected raw water quality. A small reservoir or tank installed at the source can provide a period of settlement and reduce the variability in water quality. 2.2.3 Source protection Streams and rivers Pollution and natural variations in water quality are the main problems associated with stream and river sources that need to be considered when siting and constructing an intake. Water may be pumped directly from the stream or river or it may be collected from the ground in the...
