Threat of new entrants – low In-shore fishing is not very capital intensive. Starting from scratch costs $20‚000 – 30‚000‚ but anyone with a boat and a few traps could start a lobster catching business. However‚ if you want to catch lobsters in large volumes‚ you’ll have to go offshore fishing as Prelude does. Investments in technology and equipment to offshore fish can run upwards of $1.8 million dollars as did Prelude’s 4th ship. Bargaining power of suppliers – not really applicable in

collar is completely white‚ as is the rump. The deeply sharped tail is whitish‚ with grey outer webs. The place near the ears is black. Habitat: Arctic Terns inhabit rocky coastal islands‚ coastal beaches‚ and marshes with plenty supplies of fish crustaceans. They breed in rocky gravelling islands‚ barrier beaches‚ gravel bars‚ and occasionally in marshes and bogs. In winter‚ Arctic Terns inhabit pack ice in open water and near-shore icebergs in the Antarctic Region. Diet: The Arctic Tern is a seabird

difficulties‚ cancer‚ skin allergies‚ etc. As a result‚ pollution can cut back human lifespan. As a second negative effect of pollution is animal extinction. Every year‚ a lot of aquatic animals die because of the water pollution. Some fish and crustaceans eat small particles of plastic dropped in the ocean and cannot digest this easily‚ so they feel full and stop to eat and die of starvation. For instance‚ other animals which live in the forest are killed by deforestation‚ when some people or industries

Crayfish are crustacean invertebrates that have neurogenic hearts. The myocardial cells need neural input from the cardiac ganglion to be able to beat whereas the myogenic hearts of vertebrates will beat without neural input. The neural input sets the resting heart rate and contractile force of the neurogenic heart. The heart rate of the neurogenic and myogenic hearts is regulated by neurotransmitters. Hearts in vertebrates are excited by epinephrine and serotonin although with varied effects and

Coral reefs are one of the most biologically diverse ecosystems on earth. They are made up not only of hard and soft corals‚ but also sponges‚ crustaceans‚ mollusks‚ fish‚ sea turtles‚ sharks‚ dolphins and much more. Reef systems serve as barriers protecting many coastal populations and developments from storm damage; they support commercial fisheries; they serve as major tourist attractions; and they hold the possibility of unimagined medicinal compounds in the diverse life forms within them There

Salt Marshes‚Mangroves‚and Coral Reefs Salt Marshes • Salt marshes are found along low lying coastlines where boggy ground is flooded by sea water either daily or less frequently. • Many UK salt marshes have been reclaimed for farm land‚ but those that remain provide valuable habitats where salt-tolerant plants grow and birds nest. Salt marshes also pay a vital role for coastal protection‚ they contain creeks which allow tidal waters to flow both in and out which reduces the wave energy

Human Eye Vs. Animal EyeBy:Andrea Torres ABSTRACT The tapetum lucidum is an evolutionary advantage for animals. It enables animals to see in dimmer light than the animal would otherwise be able to see in. The tapetum lucidum is useful to animals‚ but it also has a use to humans. Human beings use the tapetum lucidum to scan for reflected eye-shine‚ in order to detect and identify the species of animals in the dark and to send trained search dogs and search horses out at night.
