Bass Description Basses are several types of fish in the order Perciformes. Largemouth bass are green with a blotchy horizontal stripe. Striped bass are silvery‚ with seven or eight narrow horizontal stripes. European sea bass are silver‚ with one faint stripe. Chilean sea bass is dark mottled gray. The flesh of both pelagic and freshwater basses is light-colored and firm. Origin Bass are found in the Atlantic and Pacific oceans and in freshwater lakes and rivers; largemouth bass are native to

An investigation into the effects of varying seawater concentrations on two marine invertebrates’ osmoregulatory abilities; Carcinus maenas and Arenicola marina. Introduction The concentration of solutes in the bodily fluids of most marine invertebrates is roughly isosmotic to their environment (Raven‚ 2008). Because there is no osmotic gradient there is no tendency for the net diffusion of water away from the animal’s cells to occur. When a change in salinity occurs some organisms have the ability

Converting Saltwater into Electricity I. Introduction The world we live in is abundant with food‚ life and resources‚ but we continue to use up non-renewable resources in massive amounts. As a result‚ the many nations and countries of the world will have to deal with water‚ food‚ and energy shortages‚ as an effect of overpopulation. This Project presents a new‚ derived energy source. It will also discuss the methods and ways we can utilize this environmentally-friendly resource to produce an efficient

zone for osmoregulation studies. To examine differences in osmoregulatory mechanisms among the species‚ haemolymph of the specimens was extracted once they were acclimated to varying concentrations of seawater. Using the comparative melting-point‚ capillary tubes were filled with small samples of seawater and blood then frozen and melted in a -15˚C ethanol bath. The melting time of each was observed thereafter. Subject’s time range fell over 17 minutes of which the majority of the most salinated samples

respectively. The halide in seawater sample was identified as chloride based on their experimental E°(Ag/AgX) value of 0.22 ±0.02V. The literature value of 0.222V lay between its 95% confidence interval accounting for accuracy (1). The result was accurate and precise with percent error of 0.9% and relative standard deviation of 0.14%. The concentration of chloride in seawater was calculated as 0.515 ± 0.002 M of chloride. Based on the literature value for chloride concentration in seawater of 0.546M‚ the percent

In the seawater experiments that were performed at Dachau they were trying to find if it was better to go without water instead of drinking sea water and to see if the Berka method would improve the seawater. During the experiments the subjects were to be split into four groups and only eat “shipwreck emergency rations”. The first group was given no water‚ the second was given ordinary seawater‚ the third was given seawater treated with the Berka method‚ the fourth

In regions where the saturation state of aragonite or calcite is greater than 1‚ the formation of shells and or skeletons is favored whereas for values less than 1.0‚ the seawater is corrosive to CaCO3 (John M. Pandolfi). This corrosive condition results in dissolution. Dissolution of the carbonate minerals calcite‚ aragonite‚ and high-Mg calcite is one of the driving forces for absorption of CO2 into the ocean. Because

and growth of marine organisms in the pipe lines which are in contact with sea water. What is Marine Growth: Ships while sailing use seawater for several purposes. The seawater is used in the ship’s system and discharged after the use. However‚ seawater contains several marine organisms which enter the ship along with the seawater and deposit and flourish on the parts of the ship’s system. If preventive measures are not taken‚ the marine growth can cause damage to the particular
