3. Anabas testudineus and its Preliminary Growth Adaptive Mechanism Through its Evolutinary Pathway To Brackish Water
4. Abstract: • This study had mainly focused on the testing of the lifespan of a nearly endangered fish species Anabas testudineus in different water treatments namely brackish water, fresh water and salt water. The researchers determined the effect of the said water treatments on the growth and survival of the subjects. The study was conducted at the ESEP Bldg., Tarlac National High School (Main). The researchers applied the Completely Randomized Design (CRD) for the experiment. The length and mass of Anabas testudineus were recorded before and after the experimentation. The researchers prepared 3 containers for each replicate. Artificial environments were prepared in each container wherein 1000 grams of sand and pebbles and 400 grams of lilies were put in each container. The required amount of marine salt and water were also added and the pH of each water treatment were also obtained three randomly selected Anabas testudineus were subjected to each water treatment in each replicate. Everyday the stability of the fishes were observed. After 31 days, the final length and mass of the fishes were obtained and the results were compared.
5. • The average difference in mass of the fishes subjected to brackish water is 2.945 grams higher than freshwater and the average difference in length is also higher than fresh water by 1.265 cm. • Brackish water is the best water treatment for the growth of Anabas testudineus. • Due to environmental changes evolution occurred as years passed by. The salinity of water and its pH are examples of these environmental changes.
6. The Efficacy of Moringa oleifera (Malunggay) Leaf extracts in Lowering Blood Glucose in Swiss Mice
7. • Abstract: • Malunggay (Moringa oleifera) plant is abundant through the Philippines. This plant is growing anywhere in the country. It

    The purpose of doing this lab is that Daphnia are , popularly known as water fleas, are small crustaceans that lin freshwater such as ponds, lakes, and streams. and to see what is the effect of daphnia when the scientists put 15% of ethanol on the heat rate of daphnia. however Daphnia, They serve as an important source of food for fish and other aquatic organisms. Daphnia are excellent organisms to use in bioassays because they are sensitive to changes in water chemistry and are simple and inexpensive to raise in an aquarium. They mature in just a few days, so it does not take long to grow a culture of test organisms.…

    epidermidis and E. coli were subjected to varying NaCl concentrations in order to test for the minimum and optimum salinities of individual bacterial species. Looking at the growth of E. coli under NaCl concentrations of 2, 5, 10, and 15%, the data collected showed optimal growth at lower concentrations, more specifically at 2%. Growth gradually decreased until no growth was present which occurred at NaCl concentrations of 15%. The data collected is representative of data observed from previous experiments conducted in literature. For example, an experiment performed by Jasna Hrenovic and Tomislav Ivankovic, found similar results such that the limiting concentrations of NaCl for multiplication and bacterial growth of E. coli was at 5%, with maximum growth established around 2% NaCl (Hrenovic and Ivankovic 2009).…

    Artemia salina are used as environmental indicator species. They are used to test changes in their environment. A. salina is sensitive to toxins, temperature, and drugs. For the experiment, cysts were put into different amounts of ethanol alcohol and their viability was measured. The hypothesis used was if there is more ethanol alcohol, then the viability of the brine shrimp is unfavorable. The brine shrimp were put into sixteen Petri dishes with the same amount of brine solution. Different amounts of ethanol alcohol were added to each Petri dish. After 168 hours, the brine shrimp were looked at under a microscope and some cysts became nauplii and many died. In the control dishes, with no alcohol, the viability was the lowest; the average viability for treatment one was not the lowest but treatment four was the lowest. Treatment two had the highest viability (Table 1). Treatment one, 0.1668, versus treatment three, 0.1224, and treatment four, 0.0478, confirms that small amounts of ethanol alcohol can be accepted by the A. salina. The numbers of cysts in each Petri dish were not consistent. If the number of cysts were consistent then the comparison between viabilities in each dish would be more accurate. The importance of the average viability is that it is used as representative data. It will help show the inaccuracies of the data recorded. The purpose of this experiment is determine the aptness of A. salina as warnings of ethanol pollution.…

    The purpose of this lab is to analyze the conductivity and salinity of water simple from the Chesapeake Bay in Maryland. Oysters can live with a salinity level range from 10ptt-to 27ppt, but there is a parasite called protozoan that causes a disease known as MSX in oysters, that arise when salinity level of the water reach 15ppt. Therefore, aquaculture facility usually plants oysters in areas where salinity level are between 10ppt-to12ppt to avoid any risk of the protozoan. Oysters deliver nutrients and carbon in the water. They filter algae, sediment, and other pollutants and provide habitat for fish, crabs and another organism. In orders words, this process decreases turbidity and increase of microorganisms like diatoms and cyanobacteria.…

    The average water temperature and average dissolved oxygen obtained during the experiment has been reported as the optimum range (3-10mg/l) for tilapia growth and yields (Meske, 1985). Siddiqui et al. (1989) stated that Oreochromis mossambicus has a low oxygen demand and can survive at low oxygen levels (1-2mg/l). Riche and Garling (2003) reported that dissolved oxygen levels should be maintained above 4.9 mg/l for best growth. The water quality tolerance limit of O.mossambicus for nitrite is 0-0.6 mg/l while for ammonia, it is 0-0.12mg/l (Robert, 1997). This falls within the range of values that were obtained throughout the whole experiment (Table 10).…

    In order to test the hypothesis, four zebra and four minnows were collected. These species were approximately of the same length and width. One species of fish were placed in a large glass cylinder on the left-hand side of a 15 gallon aquarium. The aquarium was marked in half by a line drawn vertically down the middle of the glass. Each time a fish crossed over the line it was considered “schooling”. The other species of fish were kept in a bucket of water until needed. Using a fish net, one of the fish in the…

    While it grows best in dry sandy soil, it tolerates poor soil, including coastal areas. It is a fast-growing, drought-resistant tree that is native to the southern foothills of the Himalayas in northwestern India. Today it is widely cultivated in the Philippines. It is considered one of the world’s most useful trees, as almost every part of the Moringa tree can be used for food or has some other beneficial property. In the tropics, it is used as forage for livestock, and in many countries, on the other hand Moringa micronutrient liquid, a natural anthelmintic (kills parasites) and adjuvant (to aid or enhance another drug) is use as a metabolic conditioner to aid endemic diseases in developing countries (Pati, 2008).…

    Commercial cooking oil is an enormous need of people nowadays. These days, cooking oil is becoming expensive. Commoners, or people with insufficient finance, can no longer afford this necessity. Instead, they opt for oil with lesser quality simply because it’s cheaper. It’s very ghastly to do this because for one; your health could be affected, two; you could harbour diseases, and three; on the worst case scenario, it could lead to your death. To think that they would go to extreme lengths, such as that, just to provide oil. Going back to the topic prior to this, we think that although it may be costly, most cooking oils are of unsatisfactory standards especially in our nutrition.…
