Fishers that practice blast fishing in the Philippines today could receive prison sentences of as many as 10 years if the authorities caught them, according to Sievert. However, the law does not appear to be enough of a deterrent for many active blast fishers. Blast fishing remains a severe problem in modern times. E...

On the other hand, several SPS coral genera ( Pocillopora damicornis, Montipora digitata, and Acropora millepora) showed feeding responses that were linear to particle concentration (Type I response at concentrations of 1 to 30 mg/l.) However, assimilation by the corals was inversely proportional to concentration. Wit...

A classic example of this type of relationship is when a tapeworm attaches itself to the insides of the intestines of other animals and feed on the food that the animal ingests. The parasite benefits by gaining nutrients, but does so at the expense of the host because it now needs to eat more in order to survive. Zoox...
