types of fishes scales
Scales are a type of integumentary structure found in fish that provide both external protection and flexibility. There are four main types of scales - cosmoid, ganoid, placoid, and leptoid scales. Leptoid scales are further divided into cycloid and ctenoid scales. Cosmoid scales are very rare today and resemble fused placoid scales. Placoid scales are found on sharks and rays and resemble teeth. Ganoid scales have a bony base layer and are rhomboid in shape. Cycloid scales have a smooth outer edge while ctenoid scales have teeth along the outer edge.

Cool facts presented include jumping up to 20 feet and holding their breath for 30 minutes. Weird facts stated are sleeping with one eye open and using sonar to locate prey.
Harpoon fishing method
Harpoons are long spear-like instruments used to catch large marine animals like whales and fish. They work by impaling the target animal with a barbed point that detaches from the shaft but remains attached by a line, allowing fishermen to secure the catch. Modern harpoons can be thrown or propelled from rifles, while whaling harpoons have very long lines connected to winches on boats. Fishermen use harpoons to catch large fish found swimming near the surface at certain times of year.
Estuaries
Estuaries are transitional zones where rivers meet the sea. They are characterized by varying salinity levels due to mixing of fresh and salt water. Estuaries contain diverse habitats and are among the most productive ecosystems. They provide many resources including fisheries, tourism, transportation and cultural values. However, estuaries face threats such as land reclamation, pollution, overfishing and natural hazards. Protecting these fragile ecosystems and their services is important for both environmental and economic reasons.

Whales.ppt
Whales are large, intelligent aquatic mammals that breathe air through blowholes. They evolved from land mammals and are the only mammals that live exclusively in water. There are two main types of whales - baleen whales which filter feed using baleen plates, and toothed whales which hunt for fish and squid using echolocation. Whales migrate long distances between feeding and breeding grounds, sing complex songs, and care for their young for over a year. While whaling was once a large industry, many whale populations were decimated and conservation efforts are now focused on protecting whales from threats like pollution, habitat loss, and human impacts.

Killer whales live in family groups and are found from the Arctic to tropics, preying on animals from fish to sea lions. Beluga whales are all-white Arctic and sub-Arctic residents that live in social groups and have gray calves that depend on mothers for two years.
Steller's sea cow
The Steller's sea cow was a large, slow-moving sea mammal that grew up to 23 tons and fed on kelp and sea grasses. It inhabited coastal waters near rivers in the North Pacific, often spending hours resting or feeding underwater. The species was rapidly hunted to extinction by the late 18th century for its meat, milk, and hide within 27 years of being discovered by Europeans. Overhunting and loss of habitat contributed to its demise, making it one of the few large mammals ever to be driven to extinction by human activity so soon after being documented by science.

The main causes of its extinction were overfishing, dam construction, environmental degradation, and ship collisions, as the Three Gorges Dam construction destroyed much of its habitat. Scientists had hoped to save the species by temporarily relocating them until conditions improved, but the baiji is now believed to be extinct.

Hawaiian Monk Seal researched by Nicholas Tupp
The Hawaiian monk seal is an endangered species found only in the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands. They have grey or black fur and prefer warm, sandy beaches for breeding. Their diet consists of fish, lobsters, octopuses and eels. Only one pup is born at a time each year and is nursed for about six weeks. Major threats include habitat loss from human activity and entanglement in fishing gear. Conservation efforts aim to protect breeding areas, supplement underweight pups' diets, and reduce disturbances to help increase the population, which now stands at around 1,300-1,400 individuals.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in Education
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
