This document summarizes an experiment on the effects of salinity on freshwater fishes. The experiment involved exposing freshwater fish to three different salinity levels (0%, 5%, and 15%) over seven days and observing changes. At 15% salinity, fish exhibited low energy, rigidity, loss of scales, and secretion from the body. Some fish died within a few days at 15% salinity. Physiological changes and deaths increased with higher salinity levels as freshwater fish lack mechanisms to tolerate saltwater. The results indicate that changes in salinity beyond about 9% can negatively impact or kill freshwater fish due to osmotic stress on their bodies.

In aquatic animals such as fish respiration takes place through special respiratory organs called gills, however lung fish respiration takes place through lungs. Gills are present on both the sides of the head of fish. The gills are covered by gill covers also called operculum. When the fish open its mouth, water is drawn into the buccal cavity and passed through the gills. The gills contain special type of cells that absorb the oxygen present in water. The absorbed oxygen is then supplied to all the cells of body through blood. In the cells, oxygen is converted into carbon dioxide and returned back to gills through blood. Ultimately, the gills release the carbon dioxide in water passing through them.
Respiration in Fish
The gills of fish are very efficient; it is estimated gills can extract about 80% oxygen dissolved in water. In addition to the respiratory organs, the gills have an important role in maintaining the right balance of salts in the body.
Many fishers and aquaculturists are poor and ill-prepared to adapt to change, making them vulnerable to impacts on fish resources. Nature of the climate change threat. Fisheries and aquaculture are threatened by changes in temperature and, in freshwater ecosystems, precipitation. Storms may become more frequent and extreme, imperilling habitats, stocks, infrastructure and livelihoods.

All the freshwater prawns that have been cultured so far belong to the genus Macrobrachium , Bate 1868, the largest genus of the family Palaemonidae. About 200 species have been described, almost all of which live in freshwater at least for part of their life.
The giant river prawn, Macrobrachium rosenbergii , was one of the first species to become scientifically known , the first recognizable illustration appearing in 1705. The nomenclature of freshwater prawns, both on a generic and a species level has had quite a muddled history. In the past, generic names have included Cancer (Astacus) and Palaemon. Previous names of M. rosenbergii have included Palaemon carcinus, P. dacqueti and P. rosenbergii ( De Man 1879) became universally accepted.
The plankton is divisible into two main groups, the phytoplankton and the zooplankton.

Nutritional requirement of cultivable fin fish: larvae, juveniles and adultsDebiprasad1997
Fish is among the healthiest foods on the planet. It is loaded with important nutrients, such as protein and vitamin D. Fish is also the world's best source of omega-3 fatty acids, which are incredibly important for human body and brain.
Manufactured feeds are an important part of modern commercial aquaculture, providing the balanced nutrition needed by farmed fish.
In the development of modern aquaculture, starting in the 1970s, fishmeal and fish oil were key components of the feeds for these species. They are combined with other ingredients such as vegetable proteins, cereal grains, vitamins and minerals and formed into feed pellets.
The global supply of fish meal and fish oil is finite and fully utilized. Alternative or nontraditional feedstuffs may differ in terms of taste, smell, texture, and color, as well as nutrient composition, from the traditional feedstuffs, which are produced largely from the natural prey of the fish being raised. Alternative feedstuffs may also contain compounds and antinutritional factors that affect digestive or sensory physiology.
Another important area of fish nutrition for the next 20 years will be larval fish nutrition. Currently, the cost and difficulty of rearing a great number of species from the first feeding to the juvenile stage are the most severe bottlenecks to the development of aquaculture production of nontraditional species.

One mutational event is the integration of the viral genome into the host chromosome, The exogenous forces responsible for this event range from UV and ionizing radiation exposure to a defect in the virus itself.[a.3]
An additional event important in MCPyV-induced carcinogenesis is the mutation of the viral genome in a manner that renders the virus unable to replicate. The most common mutations occur in the carboxy terminus of LT, which generate a truncated LT that lacks the helicase domain required for replication yet preserve its oncogenic functions.[a.3]
Persistent expression of truncated LT and sT from the integrated MCPyV genome can inactivate pRb tumor suppressor function and promote and/or deregulate cap-dependent translation initiation, respectively. [a.3]
Ultimately, the cells in which integration of a replication-defective MCPyV is successful become addicted to viral oncogene expression and undergo clonal expansion and neoplastic progression to cause the development of MCC.[a.3]

UNDERSTANDING WHAT GREEN WASHING IS!.pdfJulietMogola
Many companies today use green washing to lure the public into thinking they are conserving the environment but in real sense they are doing more harm. There have been such several cases from very big companies here in Kenya and also globally. This ranges from various sectors from manufacturing and goes to consumer products. Educating people on greenwashing will enable people to make better choices based on their analysis and not on what they see on marketing sites.

"Understanding the Carbon Cycle: Processes, Human Impacts, and Strategies for...MMariSelvam4
The carbon cycle is a critical component of Earth's environmental system, governing the movement and transformation of carbon through various reservoirs, including the atmosphere, oceans, soil, and living organisms. This complex cycle involves several key processes such as photosynthesis, respiration, decomposition, and carbon sequestration, each contributing to the regulation of carbon levels on the planet.
Human activities, particularly fossil fuel combustion and deforestation, have significantly altered the natural carbon cycle, leading to increased atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations and driving climate change. Understanding the intricacies of the carbon cycle is essential for assessing the impacts of these changes and developing effective mitigation strategies.
By studying the carbon cycle, scientists can identify carbon sources and sinks, measure carbon fluxes, and predict future trends. This knowledge is crucial for crafting policies aimed at reducing carbon emissions, enhancing carbon storage, and promoting sustainable practices. The carbon cycle's interplay with climate systems, ecosystems, and human activities underscores its importance in maintaining a stable and healthy planet.
In-depth exploration of the carbon cycle reveals the delicate balance required to sustain life and the urgent need to address anthropogenic influences. Through research, education, and policy, we can work towards restoring equilibrium in the carbon cycle and ensuring a sustainable future for generations to come.

3. Introduction
• Salinity is one of the important environmental factors affecting
survival, growth and distribution of many aquatic organisms
optimal salinity levels for growth, survival and reproduction
competence are often species–specific (1)
• In this study we try to find out the ability of freshwater fishes in
adaptation for salinity by measuring different concentration of
salinity which affect the physiological function of the fishes
bodies.
4. Material and methods
Material :
• 3 aquarium in each one 2 fishes .
• The first one is control
• The second one with 5% salt in 1000 ml
water + 150 g NACL salt
• The last one with 15% sal in 1000 ml
water + 50 g NACL salt
Method:
• Watch the experience every day with and
write the changes and deaths in each
aquarium during 7 days.
8. Discussion
• As the result showed that some Changes in salinity can effect
biota in freshwater directly or indirectly .
• the major limiting factor affecting the survival of freshwater
fishes is seawater and exposure to salinities greater than about
9% is Absence of efficient efficient branchial and renal
mechanisms osmotic stress which increase osmotic pressure and
deterioration of cell function also this effect accompanied by
changes in Na+ K+ ATPase activity ,Co2 level and acid-base
balance(3)
