In the 1990s, the European Commission approved a series of management measures to avoid the over-exploitation of fishery resources. A study carried out by researchers in Spain now reveals that the Common Fisheries Policy in Europe has promoted the extension of the European fleet into more vulnerable ecosystems, such as deep waters. However, the next reform of the fishery policy could reverse this trend and achieve sustainability of marine resources. View the full article

The ancestor of all hammerhead sharks probably in Earth's oceans about 20 million years ago and was as big as some contemporary hammerheads, according to a new study. View the full article

Scientists have, for the first time, successfully imaged the internal tissues of a soft-bodied marine worm at high resolution using a technique borrowed from biomedical science. View the full article

Back in the 1920s and 1930s, the Barents Sea was teeming with cod. That was before its waters substantially cooled off in the decades to follow. Now, with ocean temperatures higher once again, fishermen are seeing more fish. Researchers in Norway have been studying the causes of this latest warming trend and the effects on fish stocks.

As every Jaws fan knows, sharks can smell a drop of blood from up to a kilometer away, but how are their noses so sensitive? Researchers in the UK are using the latest technology to find out how these fish are able to sniff out their prey. The scientists are testing a scale model of a hammerhead shark in a flow tank to see how the water flows around the nasal cavity of its strange flattened head. View the full article

Diversity in some coral populations may significantly influence their response to extreme temperature disturbances -- such as those predicted from climate warming. A team demonstrated natural selection acting on the species of algae living within corals may determine survival in extreme temperatures. View the full article

Early life exposure to ultraviolet A light does not cause melanoma in a fish model that previously made that connection, scientists report. UVA exposure is unlikely to have contributed to the rise in the incidence of melanoma, the researchers conclude, because the fish model had been the only animal model to link UVA exposure and melanoma.

The UK trawl fishing fleet has to work 17 times harder to catch the same amount of fish today as it did when most of its boats were powered by sail, according to new research. Researchers used UK Government data on the amount of fish caught and the size and number of boats involved -- the fleet's fishing power -- to analyse the change in fish stocks since 1889.

Norwegian researchers have found a possible explanation for why the deadly intestinal disease DGS attacks cod larvae. Could producers soon be rid of this bottleneck in cod aquaculture? Periodically, vast numbers of cod larvae die during fry production. First the larvae become lethargic, then lose their appetite, then their gut fills with fluid and they eventually die. The problem occurs without warning. In some seasons there are few deaths, in others the mortality is high. Researchers label the mysterious condition distended gut syndrome, or DGS.

It remains one of the unresolved mysteries of the animal world: why do females change the way they look each season while males look the same all year round? Researchers who have been studying fashion trends for water fleas have found some of the answers. View the full article

Marine life can communicate over thousands of kilometers, calling into question current fishery management and marine preservation practices, according to a marine biologist. "If I kill mussels in San Diego, it will have an impact in Seattle. We now know that populations are connected," he said. View the full article

An unprecedented study of bald eagle diet, from about 20,000 to 30,000 years ago to the present, will provide wildlife managers with unique information for reintroducing Bald Eagles to the Channel Islands off California. Eagles fed mainly on seabirds from about 20,000 to 30,000 years ago to the 1840s and 50s, when humans introduced sheep. The seabirds provided carrion for the local eagle population until the pesticide DDT wiped out the eagles in the 1960s. View the full article

Prehapes you wanna check back with the equipment supplier where you buy it ? Or maybe you can take the measurement of the glass and get a glass maker to cut the glass for you ? Hope it helps.

Prehapes anyone can share their experience here on using the Bio-pallets ? I have been runing the Bio-palltes in a FR for about 2 week now, and after about 8 day my skimmer start to skim again..

1) Two-Little_fish Fluidised reactor 150 ( Can hang over tank or sump tank ) - $ 50.00 ( SOLD ) Still left the Skimz FR.

Using DNA samples and images from Earth-orbiting satellites, conservationists are gathering new insights about the franciscana -- a poorly known coastal dolphin species of eastern South America -- in an effort to understand populations and conserve them. View the full article
