Louisiana's efforts to protect marine life in coastal waters and the Gulf of Mexico have received a boost with a $450,000 donation from Shell. Wildlife and Fisheries Secretary Robert Barham says the money will help create "amazing fishing opportunities for...

Gala Network’s graffiti-less, MMO clone of Sega’s Jet Set Radio Future just received a new update in the form of new tuning options, new skates and a new skater that is bound to turn some heads. According to the press release…From today, Park Town has a new arrival. Wild and sexy, Kara is a 21 year old marinebiology student at Emberton University who just arrived in Park Town. Looking...
The scientific study of marine animals is an endeavor defined by unpredictable and serendipitous discoveries. In journeying into little-explored expanses of water and probing down to the dark depths of the sea floor, marine scientists are inherently predisposed to the chance discovery of new species. And it is these discoveries and the creatures they reveal to the world that capture our...
A pair of two-band anemonefish glide over a wriggling patch of aquarium in a lab in Funchess Hall at Auburn University.The dark-sided fish with flashes of yellow on their fins and fat white stripes fan a clutch of eggs and the hopes of a future where aquaculture can replace collection of saltwater wildlife from reefs around the world.The fish, also called clownfish, are part of research by AU Biology...
Poor coral growth at Sindh, Balochistan coasts - A survey of coral reefs at 18 sites along the Sindh and Balochistan coasts, conducted by scientists from the Centre of Excellence in MarineBiology (CEMB), has revealed that hard coral growth along the seashore is extremely poor.This survey was a part of the research by CEMB on the coral reefs that are found on the sea coast of Sindh and...
... meant it. Really, though, it doesn't much matter because who cares what the plebes and the marinebiology smut writers of the world think? They've been given $500 million to quit the bitching and honestly? Lloyd may have bigger, more important apologies to make, on the inside. Forget the populist pitchforks. Those are idle threats, and LB can take them. This is the shit he should...

"There's nothing saying there is life there now. But we do know there are the physical conditions to support it." Richard Greenberg, University of Arizona. world's leading expert on Europa. Based on what we know about the Jovian moon, parts of Europa's seafloor should greatly resemble the environments around Earth's deep-ocean hydrothermal vents. Experts in marinebiology attending the...
... switch off. He was just insanely curious about everything. Metaphysics, law, politics, theatre, marinebiology, astronomy, astrology, the Olympics — you name it and he wrote a book about it. So at the other end there was this kind of frenetic mind that just never seemed to stop. You take those two things and then look in the Ethics where he writes about the golden mean being his ideal....
... I've actually eaten, and really enjoyed raw kelp plucked from the ocean while out on a boat for a marinebiology program. It was crunchy and salty, and good. But the dried seaweed just seems really "fishy" to me. It must be something in the drying process that I object to. Anyway, I bought all the ingredients and cooked the sushi rice per the directions. All was going swimmingly,...
... on the moon jellyfish,” says Ada Alamaru, a member of the research team who is doing her PhD in marinebiology supervised by Prof Yossi Loya at Tel Aviv University, Israel. “We couldn’t believe our eyes when we saw it,” Ms Alamaru says. Researchers believe that coral’s ability to survive on a variety of food sources may give it an advantage in a changing world – and it’s going to...
A new article in the journal MarineBiology brings to light the interesting feeding habits of the deep sea crab Munidopsis andamanica, better known to the world (somewhat perplexingly) as the squat lobster. It seems that the this particular animal eats exclusively discarded wood that sinks to the seafloor — trees, leaves, old wooden shipwrecks [...]
