Blue swimming crabs are an important source of income for fishermen in the Malaysia, also known as ‘ketam bunga’ or ‘ketam renjong’ in the name of the local. The high price and increased demands in among community will cause the over-exploitation in production of blue swimming crabs. In 2003, total landings for P. pelagicus were approximately 175,000 tons and decrease to 165,000 tons in 2004 (FAO Fish Stat, 2009). This decline from over-exploitation has an impact in some Asian countries (Ikhwanuddin
If someone is a native of Maryland, they know exactly what one is talking about when the Maryland Blue Crab is brought up into a discussion.

Although algae serves a vital role in the bay’s ecosystem, it also creates a problem that is causing a large amount of the problem. Species such as the blue crab, oyster, and atlantic menhaden are three main commercial fishing outputs in the Chesapeake bay, but the recent algae blooms are devastating the harvest numbers of several different species. According to the oyster company of Virginia, over 20 million

So skip the fertilizer until fall, because once they’re gone, what’s left to enjoy?”(Environment, p. 7) This ad is directed to many people in the Chesapeake Bay region because there are tons of pollution each year that are destroying the nation’s largest estuary, or part of a body of water where the fresh and salt water mix, and are also killing the Bay’s crabs, oysters, and fish, which is a huge industry in
A watershed is an area of land that contributes water to a river, lake, wetland, bay or any other body of water, small or large. Watersheds are also known as basins or drainage basins, as they do “drain” off into a larger body of water. There are watersheds all around us. Small streams and creeks are also considered watersheds; so even if you don’t know it, you too live in a watershed. Watersheds consist of all surface water, as well as all ground and underground water. There are watersheds of
and are independent fishermen. They have their own boat and they use their own equipment, and they sell whatever they catch(fish, crab, eel) to different seafood outlets/warehouses. Most watermen start their day early(at sunrise) and depending on the catch, they may have to travel several miles to the fishing or harvesting grounds. In the summer their main catch is crab, and in the spring, fall, and winter they fish for a variety of different fishes, eels and oysters. Throughout the year the watermen

Pea Crabs, The Nuisance Inside Oysters Pea crabs, from the family Pinnotheres pisum, are kleptoparasites found around the world's oceans in different Bivalve mollusks species, specifically oysters and mussels. These soft-shell crabs are natural occurring pests, they were not brought or transported by humans around the world but rather evolved to infest mollusk species for food and protection. Their life cycles start at being birthed in areas where oysters or mussels are born in the previous or same
coast of Newfoundland. It attaches itself to the shell of a certain species of hermit crab and, by budding, covers the entire shell with a colony that dissolves the original shell. Because the colony grows at the same rate as the crab, it furnishes continuous protection, and the crab does not shed its shell at periodic intervals as it normally would. The polyp, in turn, benefits by moving about with the crab, thereby obtaining a greater food supply than it would if attached to a stationary object
and livelihood. In several areas throughout Southeast Asia, crab production is one of the substantial aquaculture industries especially in the Philippines, Vietnam, Indonesia, Sarawak. (Oluwatoyin et al., 2013). Amongst many aquatic products sold in local markets, Asian shore crabs, Hemigrapsus sanguineus or commonly known as “talangka” are one of the most marketable goods. In different seafood markets in Metro Manila, Asian shore crab is being supplied by productions coming mainly from Navotas Bay
Yamashiro Restaurant Dave Thomas an American restaurateur and a philanthropist once said, “It all comes back to the basic. Serve customers the best-tasting food at a good value in a clean, comfortable restaurant, and they'll keep coming back.” (thomas). Everyone can agree on Dave Thomas, but I have a couple more criteria to add to his idea of a great successful restaurant. If I go out to eat I might as well pick a place that, though may be expensive, has scrumptious food because why bother going
Crab Nebula Looking up at the night sky you see stars lying on a never-ending dark blanket. It is within this “blanket”, called the interstellar medium, that new stars are formed. The interstellar medium consists of 99% gas and about 1% dust particles. Hydrogen is the predominant gas in both atomic and molecular forms. While being the place where stars are born, the interstellar medium also creates beautiful nebulae. A reflection nebula is created when light from a nearby star reflects from the
The young man decided to walk into a thrift shop. However, this thrift store was one that no one went to, mainly because of the frightening old woman who ran the store. The old woman had a hunched back, and one brown glass eye, her other being a pale blue colour. The store was very dark. Everything seemed to be really organized, but there was dust everywhere. As the young man walked through the shop, he heard the floors creak with every step he took. He stopped when he noticed a book that seemed clearly
eaten by other reef residents such as mud crabs and striped bass. Reefs are shelter and feeding grounds for a variety of animals throughout the food chain including striped bass, oyster toad fish, puffer fish, skates, blue crabs, grass shrimp, mussels, sponges and barnacles. The diversity and abundance of species living in the reef area depends on the health of the reef. Not only do healthier reefs contain more oysters, but they also contain more fish and crabs. Young oysters, called spat, need to attach

This belief is evidenced in a passage from "Two pendants: for the Ears": 2 partridges 2 Mallard ducks a Dungeness crab 24 hours out of the Pacific and 2 live-frozen trout from Denmark. He turns a fashionable grocery list into poetry by arranging the words upon the page in a manner allowing for poetic rhythm to emerge (Weatherhead 108). Rather
My Best Friend Died Dr. Munter's comments: The purpose of this assignment was to relate an event that changed the direction of your life. Not only does this student successfully accomplish this task, he does it with a certain amount of understatement. The instruction “to show, not tell” is beautifully and subtly completed. There is also a nice balance of long and short sentences, unusual similes, and the sense that the author allows the reader to view this event through the eyes of an eight-year-old
