The giant Marlin caught in Hawaii wasn’t just a fish story that was too good to be true. The 1,368-pound blue marlin caught in Hawaii has been seen online with the fish looking as big as a small car. According to Bleacher Report on Thursday, the fish falls just eight pounds short of the all-tackle record set in 1982, but it’s still a really large catch. The first look of the giant marlin had people on social media wondering if it was just another exaggerate fish story. Extremely big, the fish was

Specimen 1 (Ladybug) & 2 (unknown) belong to Coleoptera This is a general description of Coleoptera. Specific description of each specimen will follow. Beetles form this order Refer to picture (fiddler beetle) for general morphology. Mention head, thorax, abdomen, wings, elytra, and that beetles have an exoskeleton. No other order has more species = largest order About half of insect species are beetles (≈40%) Everywhere except for polar regions (mostly in vegetation but some marine habitats)

Having unique characteristics and low-maintenance requirements make good pets out hermit crabs, according to Lianne McLeod, writing for The Spruce. Hermit crabs have small and soft abdomens that they protect by living in empty snail shells. As they grow bigger, they must look for bigger shells, and owners of these pets must progressively look for larger shells. The two main species of hermit crabs found in the US are the Coenobita clypeatus, commonly named as the Caribbean crab, purple pincher

My trip to Florida was captivating and full of attractions. I went to Panama City Beach. From food to scenery to souvenirs everything was compelling. First the weather was amazing. It was very warm and there was a slight breeze. It almost seemed like soft and gentle whispers in the wind. It was very bright and sunny. A few of the days we were there it was so hot. Sometimes in the sun it felt like u were slowly melting. When we would go inside after it got too hot it felt like a fridge. It felt so

(arthropoda) (sometimes preferred)is very small, usually only sea and water animals can get to big or large sizes. One of the very big crabs has gotten to 14 lbs (pounds) and spands 3.56 meters 62.4 centimeters up to four feet in length. The larger crustaceans, lobsters, and crabs are used as food throughout the world which can be used to solve hunger and they feed many homes and people, it is good that we chomp down on these and not a smaller group of specific animals, because if we did so that specific

When I read this sentence in David Foster Wallace’s essay “Consider the Lobster”, I felt a distinctly physical sense of repulsion and empathy: “Lobsters don’t have much in the way of eyesight or hearing, but they do have an exquisite tactile sense, one facilitated by hundreds of thousands of tiny hairs that protrude through their carapace.” The phrase “exquisite tactile sense” is what really struck me, not because it’s a particularly special phrase in and of itself but because it was placed in the

- Body Structure: Shrimp body has 19 pieces that includes: five pieces of the head, eight pieces of the chest and six pieces of abdominal segment. Head and chest incorporated together and is covered by integrated structure called carapace that protect lateral and dorsal surface of body and in front as a sharp detail that called rostrum that have teeth in the upper and down edge is identified as a key species. Each body segment has a pair of appendage. Head have a pair of Antennas , a pair Antennules

The influence different abiotic factors on the habitat selection of Artemia franciscana Introduction: Many organisms prefer environment with specific conditions called specialists, while other individuals can occupy diversifying environmental conditions called generalists (Biology 108 Lab Manual 2015-16). Artemia franciscana, a species of brine shrimps are able to resist to warm water temperatures and even develop thermal adaptations (Clegg et al. 2001). Other abiotic factors that affect habitat

different names, etc. Brine shrimp live in very salty water. Adult brine shrimp are called Artemia, Artemia Salina is the scientific name for brine shrimp. Brine shrimp can also be known as fairy shrimp or sea monkeys. Brine shrimp are very small crustaceans. They live in very salty waters so predators don’t

Most people don't know that eating food releases a sensation in the brain, and thats why people are so quick to fall in love with food. A food that has consistently wowed people with its delicate taste is the Maine lobster. Although many people enjoy it as a meal it has continued to cause controversy because of its inhumane way of being cooked. In 2004 David Foster Wallace argued that those who eat lobster overlook that it is a living creature “Consider the Lobster”. Throughout the article Wallace

Pill bugs (Rollie Pollie): The Effect of Isopod Behavior on Wet vs Dry Stimuli Abstract: There are two main purposes for this experiment. First, isopods were observed so that their behavior could be recorded. Second, we exposed the isopods to a wet cotton ball and dry cotton ball, to determine which stimuli the pill bugs (or Rollie pollies) preferred over the other. In the experiment, five different pill bugs were removed from their usual habitat and placed in a choice chamber 1 pill bug at a time

Introduction Brine Shrimp are crustaceans which are distantly related to shrimp, crabs and lobsters. Brine shrimp live in salt water lakes because they can avoid predators; not a lot of aquatic life can survive in that condition. Brine shrimp have eleven pairs of legs used as gills. Their gills are used to help them breathe like lots of sea life, but these gills are also used to pump chloride ions, which take out the salt from their bodies and go into the water. You can tell the difference between

The Oviposition Choices Over Mung Beans, Adzuki Beans, And Black-Eyed Peas By Female Bean Beetles Raised From Mung Beans And From Black-Eyed Peas Abstract: Female bean beetles make a choice of where to oviposit their eggs because their oviposition choices influence the survival of their offspring. The question was which beans female bean beetles would prefer to oviposit eggs on. This experiment aimed to determine the preference of oviposition choice by female bean beetles that were raised from mung

The Jumping Bean Beetles! The Jumping bean beetles experiment was done to study the oviposition in bean beetles, and whether it is based on the heritage of the bean beetle. The study consisted of two different types of beans and several mung raised bean beetles. Bio Lab 113 Dr. T. Hendrickson Nathan Jay Introduction The purpose of The Jumping Bean Beetle study is to test the hypothesis that Bean beetles’ oviposition is determined by the bean beetles’ birth place. Bean beetles, Callosobruchus

In the novel The Edible Woman, author Margaret Atwood tackles the difficult subject of anorexia nervosa. Although this subject is often handled with kid gloves by many writers, Atwood’s novel candidly addresses how different food related stigmas affect the main character’s day to day existence. In the late 1960 's, young women faced a society that expected them to conform to certain qualities in both appearance and demeanor. The portrayal of young women in popular movies, television and music of

Introduction The bean beetle also known as the Callosobruchus maculatus, is an agricultural pest insect from Africa and Asia. That can be found throughout the tropical and subtropical regions. The lifecycle of a bean beetles is quite short an adult been beetle lays their eggs on the external surface of a bean. The larva hatches from the egg burrows from the egg through the seed coat and into the bean endosperm without moving outside the protection of the egg. When it comes to mating both virgin and

Polar bears have a thick layer of fat called blubber which is about 11 cm thick. This also helps the bears to survive in the freezing conditions. Not only on land, but the thick layer of fur coat and blubber helps them as they spend a great amount of time swimming in the freezing waters of the Arctic. Blubber is a thick layer of fat that helps prevent sea mammals from getting too cold. Blubber in depth, is an extra digested food stored in the form of adipose tissue, which contains molecules called

This experiment was conducted to determine whether or not Callosobruchus maculatus, or bean beetles, had a bean color preference for oviposition choice. Oviposition is the process of a female insect laying her eyes on plant parts and other materials, which can be influenced by many factors. The bean beetle eggs are opaque and clear, which allowed us to test the hypothesis that C. maculatus prefer the darker red Adzuki beans over the white Black-eyed peas for oviposition choice. Two different colored

Cellular Respiration Aerobic Cellular Respiration is the process by which the cells in our body get energy to carry out their functions. Cellular respiration is necessary for all living things due to the fact that living things are made up of cells and all cells need energy to carry out their functions. It takes place in the mitochondria of mainly eukaryotic cells. Mitochondria are considered the powerhouses of cells due to their high folds of energy. During aerobic respiration, oxygen is always

also known as market crab, and San Francisco crab and belongs to the family Cancridae. The common name of this species comes from the port of Dungeness, Washington. This species is among California’s most popular shellfish and is one of the largest edible crabs along the Pacific Coast of America. The estimated maximum life span is from 8 to 13 years. Geographical range and habitats: The geographical range of Dungeness crab extends from Alaska's Aleutian Islands to Point Conception, California. They
