A man emptied a bag of potato chips into his fish tank because he thought fish and chips go together well. He believed that if you have fish in an aquarium, you need to include chips too since fish enjoy being around chips. The author also jokes that when fishing, you may catch chips along with fish, so you need both a fishing rod and a chipping rod.

This document discusses the effects of oil spills on marine life. It notes that oil spills occur when oil tankers collide at sea or during loading and unloading of oil. The oil then spreads on the water surface and coats birds, sea mammals, fish, and plants. This causes various harmful effects - the oil clogs feathers and fur, preventing birds and mammals from staying warm and flying/swimming. It poisons fish by damaging their gills and preventing oxygen from dissolving in water. Plants are also negatively impacted. The document describes an experiment showing how a feather clumps differently in clean water versus oily or soapy water, representing the effects on birds. Overall, the oil spill causes mortality of marine animals by
This document discusses animals and plants in the ocean biome, including sharks, jellyfish, lanternfish, tuna, coral, and seaweed. It describes adaptations of seahorses, whales, and sharks that help them survive, such as a seahorse's camouflage, a whale's blubber, and a shark's sharp teeth. The ocean environment is described as extreme due to its diverse wildlife like sharks and whales. The document concludes with a brief mention of the ocean food web.
This document provides an introduction to self-sustainable domestic aquaculture. It discusses cultivating aquatic organisms like fish, shellfish, and plants under controlled conditions in ponds, cages and tanks. Specific topics covered include the history of aquaculture, different aquaculture practices, recommended species for domestic aquaculture like gouramy and catfish, and considerations for setting up a small home fish pond.
This document discusses different methods for raising fish on farms or in backyard ponds. It describes how fish farmers in England use rakes to sweep fish ashore from ponds at night when the fish are illuminated by bike lights. It then provides information on different warm-water and cool-water fish species that are suitable for aquaculture, including tilapia, catfish, carp, bass, trout, salmon and perch. Finally, it outlines various aquaculture systems for rearing fish, such as cage culture, flow-through, greenhouse aquaponics, and home recirculating systems.
Fish farming involves raising fish commercially for food. The most important farmed fish species are carp, salmon, tilapia, and catfish. There is increasing demand for fish due to overfishing. Extensive aquaculture involves raising fish in ponds using natural food sources, while intensive aquaculture provides artificial food and oxygenation. Cage systems place fish cages in bodies of water until harvest. Composite fish culture uses different species that occupy different ecological niches to maximize food resource use. Classic fry farming raises young fish until release. Irrigation systems use ponds and ditches to farm fish, where their waste can fertilize fields.
The presentation discusses coral reef degradation, which is the destruction of coral reefs that serve as homes for marine fish. It identifies the main causes as warming oceans causing coral bleaching and death, algal growth blocking sunlight to corals and killing them, and destruction of reefs eliminating habitats for aquarium fish. The effects are loss of habitat for many marine organisms, reduction in biodiversity as species become extinct without habitats, and changes to the size structure of populations. Solutions proposed are proper disposal of trash, minimizing fertilizer use, green transportation, reducing runoff, conserving energy, sustainable aquarium practices, and education.
There are five species of Pacific salmon: Chinook, Chum, Sockeye, Pink, and Coho. Salmon begin their life as eggs in gravel beds, hatching into alevin then fry before developing silver scales as smolt. As adults, they migrate to spawn and die. Dams block migration and change habitats, killing many salmon through turbines or predation. The Elwha Dam was removed to aid salmon migration, though sediment release polluted water temporarily. Preserving salmon supports both ecosystems and industries like fishing.
The physical and chemical factors of water that are required for successful aquaculture include temperature, depth, light, turbidity, pH, dissolved oxygen, carbon dioxide, total alkalinity, total hardness, dissolved nutrients, and biological oxygen demand. The optimal ranges described in the document are 24-30°C for temperature, 1.5-3 meters for depth, 7-8 for pH, 5 mg/L to saturation for dissolved oxygen, 5 ppm for carbon dioxide, 40-150 ppm for total alkalinity, 15 ppm or more for total hardness, 0.2-0.4 mg/L for dissolved nutrients, and 2-5 mg/L for biological oxygen demand.

Maintaining water
An aquarium is a tank that houses aquatic plants and animals and provides their habitat needs. There are various types of aquariums including freshwater, saltwater, reef, and planted tanks. Freshwater aquariums can be tropical, housing warm water fish, or coldwater for goldfish. Community tanks house multiple peaceful fish species while aggressive fish require their own tank. Proper filtration, lighting, water quality maintenance is needed to care for the fish and plants.
This presentation is given to the Snohomish County Beach Watcher Training Class every year. It covers salmon life cycle, cultural and social benefits of salmon, salmon habitat and stewardship.
Pond construction and management requires considering factors like topography, soil composition, and water supply. Proper pond depth is 6-10 feet, with structures for water drainage and fish habitat. Good water quality and fish food sources are important for fish health. Stocking decisions should consider management goals and avoid moving fish between bodies of water. Record keeping helps evaluate fish populations over time and determine if actions like harvesting or restocking are needed. Frequent fishing allows testing the pond's productivity and making any necessary adjustments.
Introducing a New Fish to Your Aquarium House of Fins
House of Fins is a premier aquarium installation and maintenance service provider owned by Robert Bray that has a presence in four states and serves over 200 customers. When introducing a new fish, you must ensure the water chemistry matches the current fish in terms of salinity, pH, alkalinity and calcium levels. It is also important to quarantine new fish before introducing them to prevent disease from wiping out other fish. New fish may face aggression due to existing territories in the tank, so rearranging decorations can help break up territories.
This 3-page document provides a summary of a guide for improving water quality in the Matanuska-Susitna Borough. It discusses how human activities can impact local waterways and provides tips for landowners to establish natural shoreline buffers, reduce runoff, and protect fish and wildlife habitat along waterfront properties. The document emphasizes the importance of maintaining healthy riparian areas and wetlands to water quality.
This document provides information on managing farm ponds for fishing. It discusses the importance of proper pond construction, watershed management, fish removal, liming, fertilization, and species selection. Key points include enhancing plankton populations through fertilization to increase oxygen and food availability for fish, maintaining a balance of predator and prey populations through harvesting, and controlling weeds and preventing fish kills. Farm ponds require ongoing management to provide productive recreational fishing.
Preparation and Management of Nursery, Rearing and.pptxAquaArrakis2223
This document describes the different stages of fish farming - from spawning ponds where eggs are hatched and fry grown for 15-20 days, to rearing ponds where fry are grown to fingerlings over 2-3 months, to grow-out ponds where fingerlings are stocked and grown to harvestable size in 10-12 months. It discusses the pre-stocking management of ponds, including draining, drying, liming, fertilizing, and controlling aquatic weeds and predatory fish. The goal is to provide optimal environmental conditions for growth.
This document discusses the importance of various physical and chemical parameters of water for successful aquaculture. It outlines key water quality factors like temperature, depth, transparency, and dissolved oxygen levels. Temperature affects fish metabolism and physiology, with high temperatures being lethal. Water depth should be between 1.5 to 3 meters. Transparent water supports higher plankton production and fish growth. Dissolved oxygen, pH, hardness, carbon dioxide, and nutrient levels also impact fish health and pond productivity. Maintaining suitable ranges of these parameters is essential for aquaculture.
Aquaculture (less commonly spelled aquaculture), also known as aquafarming, is the farming of fish, crustaceans, molluscs, aquatic plants, algae, and other organisms. Aquaculture involves cultivating freshwater and saltwater populations under controlled conditions, and can be contrasted with commercial fishing, which is the harvesting of wild fish.
The document discusses the Environment Agency's policies for stocking trout, grayling, and coarse fish. The main difference between policies for coarse fish versus salmonids is that trout populations evolved in isolation after the last ice age and developed unique genetic traits, while coarse fish evolved into distinct species. Stocking farmed trout risks losing their survival traits, so policies allow only sterile triploid trout. In contrast, coarse fish like bream and dace sorted into species with different habitat preferences, so fertile fish can be stocked. Grayling policies also aim to maintain distinct river basin strains. Stocking is one fishery management tool used to ensure sustainable fisheries now and in the future.
Fish culture, also called pisciculture, involves the controlled rearing and breeding of fish in confined water bodies like ponds, reservoirs, and paddy fields. Fish culture can be classified based on the type of water body, management approach, species stocked, type of enclosure, and climatic conditions. The main classifications are extensive, semi-intensive, and intensive systems; pond, cage, and pen cultures; monoculture and polyculture; and warm and cold water cultures. Pisciculture plays an important role in augmenting food production and generating employment.
This document provides guidance on setting up a saltwater aquarium, including:
1) Easy to keep fish for beginners include damselfish, gobies, cardinalfish, and clownfish. Suitable corals are leather corals, mushroom anemones, colonial anemones, and cleaner shrimp.
2) The aquarium should be at least 100 liters to maintain water quality. Combining fluorescent and metal halide lighting provides optimal conditions for corals and invertebrates.
3) Coarse coral sand makes an ideal substrate, providing bacteria habitat and stabilizing pH.

Microbial characterisation and identification, and potability of River Kuywa ...Open Access Research Paper
Water contamination is one of the major causes of water borne diseases worldwide. In Kenya, approximately 43% of people lack access to potable water due to human contamination. River Kuywa water is currently experiencing contamination due to human activities. Its water is widely used for domestic, agricultural, industrial and recreational purposes. This study aimed at characterizing bacteria and fungi in river Kuywa water. Water samples were randomly collected from four sites of the river: site A (Matisi), site B (Ngwelo), site C (Nzoia water pump) and site D (Chalicha), during the dry season (January-March 2018) and wet season (April-July 2018) and were transported to Maseno University Microbiology and plant pathology laboratory for analysis. The characterization and identification of bacteria and fungi were carried out using standard microbiological techniques. Nine bacterial genera and three fungi were identified from Kuywa river water. Clostridium spp., Staphylococcus spp., Enterobacter spp., Streptococcus spp., E. coli, Klebsiella spp., Shigella spp., Proteus spp. and Salmonella spp. Fungi were Fusarium oxysporum, Aspergillus flavus complex and Penicillium species. Wet season recorded highest bacterial and fungal counts (6.61-7.66 and 3.83-6.75cfu/ml) respectively. The results indicated that the river Kuywa water is polluted and therefore unsafe for human consumption before treatment. It is therefore recommended that the communities to ensure that they boil water especially for drinking.
Improving the viability of probiotics by encapsulation methods for developmen...Open Access Research Paper
The popularity of functional foods among scientists and common people has been increasing day by day. Awareness and modernization make the consumer think better regarding food and nutrition. Now a day’s individual knows very well about the relation between food consumption and disease prevalence. Humans have a diversity of microbes in the gut that together form the gut microflora. Probiotics are the health-promoting live microbial cells improve host health through gut and brain connection and fighting against harmful bacteria. Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus are the two bacterial genera which are considered to be probiotic. These good bacteria are facing challenges of viability. There are so many factors such as sensitivity to heat, pH, acidity, osmotic effect, mechanical shear, chemical components, freezing and storage time as well which affects the viability of probiotics in the dairy food matrix as well as in the gut. Multiple efforts have been done in the past and ongoing in present for these beneficial microbial population stability until their destination in the gut. One of a useful technique known as microencapsulation makes the probiotic effective in the diversified conditions and maintain these microbe’s community to the optimum level for achieving targeted benefits. Dairy products are found to be an ideal vehicle for probiotic incorporation. It has been seen that the encapsulated microbial cells show higher viability than the free cells in different processing and storage conditions as well as against bile salts in the gut. They make the food functional when incorporated, without affecting the product sensory characteristics.

Recycling and Disposal on SWM Raymond Einyu pptxRayLetai1
Increasing urbanization, rural–urban migration, rising standards of living, and rapid development associated with population growth have resulted in increased solid waste generation by industrial, domestic and other activities in Nairobi City. It has been noted in other contexts too that increasing population, changing consumption patterns, economic development, changing income, urbanization and industrialization all contribute to the increased generation of waste.
With the increasing urban population in Kenya, which is estimated to be growing at a rate higher than that of the country’s general population, waste generation and management is already a major challenge. The industrialization and urbanization process in the country, dominated by one major city – Nairobi, which has around four times the population of the next largest urban centre (Mombasa) – has witnessed an exponential increase in the generation of solid waste. It is projected that by 2030, about 50 per cent of the Kenyan population will be urban.
Aim:
A healthy, safe, secure and sustainable solid waste management system fit for a world – class city.
Improve and protect the public health of Nairobi residents and visitors.
Ecological health, diversity and productivity and maximize resource recovery through the participatory approach.
Goals:
Build awareness and capacity for source separation as essential components of sustainable waste management.
Build new environmentally sound infrastructure and systems for safe disposal of residual waste and replacing current dumpsites which should be commissioned.
Current solid waste management situation:
The status.
Solid waste generation rate is at 2240 tones / day
collection efficiently is at about 50%.
Actors i.e. city authorities, CBO’s , private firms and self-disposal
Current SWM Situation in Nairobi City:
Solid waste generation – collection – dumping
Good Practices:
• Separation – recycling – marketing.
• Open dumpsite dandora dump site through public education on source separation of waste, of which the situation can be reversed.
• Nairobi is one of the C40 cities in this respect , various actors in the solid waste management space have adopted a variety of technologies to reduce short lived climate pollutants including source separation , recycling , marketing of the recycled products.
• Through the network, it should expect to benefit from expertise of the different actors in the network in terms of applicable technologies and practices in reducing the short-lived climate pollutants.
Good practices:
Despite the dismal collection of solid waste in Nairobi city, there are practices and activities of informal actors (CBOs, CBO-SACCOs and yard shop operators) and other formal industrial actors on solid waste collection, recycling and waste reduction.
Practices and activities of these actor groups are viewed as innovations with the potential to change the way solid waste is handled.
CHALLENGES:
• Resource Allocation.
Optimizing Post Remediation Groundwater Performance with Enhanced Microbiolog...Joshua Orris
Results of geophysics and pneumatic injection pilot tests during 2003 – 2007 yielded significant positive results for injection delivery design and contaminant mass treatment, resulting in permanent shut-down of an existing groundwater Pump & Treat system.
Accessible source areas were subsequently removed (2011) by soil excavation and treated with the placement of Emulsified Vegetable Oil EVO and zero-valent iron ZVI to accelerate treatment of impacted groundwater in overburden and weathered fractured bedrock. Post pilot test and post remediation groundwater monitoring has included analyses of CVOCs, organic fatty acids, dissolved gases and QuantArray® -Chlor to quantify key microorganisms (e.g., Dehalococcoides, Dehalobacter, etc.) and functional genes (e.g., vinyl chloride reductase, methane monooxygenase, etc.) to assess potential for reductive dechlorination and aerobic cometabolism of CVOCs.
In 2022, the first commercial application of MetaArray™ was performed at the site. MetaArray™ utilizes statistical analysis, such as principal component analysis and multivariate analysis to provide evidence that reductive dechlorination is active or even that it is slowing. This creates actionable data allowing users to save money by making important site management decisions earlier.
The results of the MetaArray™ analysis’ support vector machine (SVM) identified groundwater monitoring wells with a 80% confidence that were characterized as either Limited for Reductive Decholorination or had a High Reductive Reduction Dechlorination potential. The results of MetaArray™ will be used to further optimize the site’s post remediation monitoring program for monitored natural attenuation.
ENVIRONMENT~ Renewable Energy Sources and their future prospects.tiwarimanvi3129
This presentation is for us to know that how our Environment need Attention for protection of our natural resources which are depleted day by day that's why we need to take time and shift our attention to renewable energy sources instead of non-renewable sources which are better and Eco-friendly for our environment. these renewable energy sources are so helpful for our planet and for every living organism which depends on environment.

Pond Dye, Why
Use It?
is an event
where large numbers of fish
die in a pond or lake.
Sometimes a fish kill indicates
a problem in the pond or lake,
other times a sudden fish die
off can be caused by a series of
natural events that when
combined cause oxygen levels
to drop below the acceptable
level for some or all of the fish
species to survive. Fish kills
can be caused by a variety of
factors, most often though
suffocation due to the
depletion of dissolved oxygen
is the ultimate cause. Oxygen
can be depleted by many
factors

4. Pond Dye, Why
Use It?
1. Many garden centers
and agricultural
supply stores sell
consumer grade
pond dye products.
2. This may be
convenient, but NOT
your best value.
3. Most pond dyes,
either gallon or
quart are rated at 1-
2 million gallon
treatments per bottle.
4. Ultimately you must
refer to the
individual label for
proper dosage.
