BIOCHAR-IMMOBILIZED SPHINGOMONAS SP. AND ACINETOBACTER SP. ISOLATES TO ENHANCE NUTRIENT REMOVAL: POTENTIAL APPLICATION IN CRAB AQUACULTURE

Biochar-immobilized Sphingomonas sp. and Acinetobacter sp. isolates to enhance nutrient removal: potential application in crab aquaculture

The frequency of water exchange and reducing the risk of eutrophication to surrounding water bodies have always been water-quality control issues in recirculating aquaculture systems.In this study, maize straw biochar prepared through pyrolysis showed great potential for both bacterial immobilization and pollutant adsorption.Heterotrophic bacterial

Corkscrew Seals: Grey Seal (Halichoerus grypus) Infanticide and Cannibalism May Indicate the Cause of Spiral Lacerations in Seals.

Large numbers of dead seals with characteristic spiral lesions have been washing ashore around the North Atlantic over the past two decades.Interactions with ship propellers and shark predation have been suggested as the likely causal mechanisms.However, new evidence points towards a more likely candidate: grey seal predation.An adult male grey sea
