Dinoflagellates

Votes:0
Dinoflagellates cyst of Spiniferites (Image courtesy of Graham Williams) What are dinoflagellates? Dinoflagellates are microscopic, (usually) unicellular, flagellated, often photosynthetic protists, commonly regarded as "algae" (Division Dinoflagellata). They are characterized by a transverse flagellum that encircles the body (often in a groove known as the cingulum) and a longitudinal flagellum oriented perpendicular to the transverse flagellum. This imparts a distinctive spiral to their swimming motion. Both flagella are inserted at the same point in the cell wall, by convention defining the ventral surface. This point is usually slightly depressed, and is termed the sulcus. In heterotrophic dinoflagellates (ones that eat other organisms), this is the point where a conical feeding struct Read More

Marine Life Guide A pproximately 680 species of fish are known to exist in the Hawaiian Island chain. We have moray eels in many unusual colors. Sea turtles are a common sight, as are octopuses, crabs, sea urchins and at last count, eight kinds of lobster. White Tip reef sharks are also often seen, but harmless if left undisturbed. Green sea turtles, large pelagic's, manta rays and even Humpback Whales are also sealife which makes Hawaii their home. Monk Seals There are less than 1500 Hawaiian monk seals left, and due to the human encroachment and limited habitation, their numbers are decreasing. That fact makes diving with these beautiful creatures that much more special. Here on Kauai we have more opportunities to enjoy the monk seals playful company, due to Kauai being closer to what's Read More

Gray's Reef National Marine Sanctuary , designated in January 1981, is one of the largest near shore live-bottom reefs in the southeastern United States. The sanctuary is located 17.5 nautical miles off Sapelo Island, GA, and one of 14 marine protected areas that make up the National Marine Sanctuary System that encompass more than 150,000 square miles of marine and Great Lakes waters from Washington State to the Florida Keys, and from Lake Huroon to American Samoa; and one of three marine sanctuaries that make up the Southeast Region.

Introduction to the Green Algae

Votes:0
Introduction to the "Green Algae" The "green algae" is the most diverse group of algae, with more than 7000 species growing in a variety of habitats. The "green algae" is a paraphyletic group because it excludes the Plantae . Like the plants, the green algae contain two forms of chlorophyll , which they use to capture light energy to fuel the manufacture of sugars, but unlike plants they are primarily aquatic. Because they are aquatic and manufacture their own food, these organisms are called " algae ," along with certain members of the Chromista , the Rhodophyta , and photosynthetic bacteria , even though they do not share a close relationship with any of these groups. The above picture shows a dense growth of sea lettuce ( Ulva ), growing in a tide pool at the Berkeley Marina. This is a Read More

Jellyfish

Votes:0
JELLYFISH Jellyfish is the common name for the invertebrate animals making up two classes of the coelenterate phylum. The most dangerous is the box jellyfish which swims near northern Australia and southern Asia. A person who is badly stung by one of these can die in four minutes. Jellyfish are slow movers, so they rely on their nasty stings to keep them safe. Jellyfish don't have brains or refined sense organs such as eys or ears. The term jellyfish applies specifically to the free-swimming, gelatinous organism called the medusa, the form usually taken during the sexual stage of these animals. Large jellyfish are up to 2 m (6.6 ft) wide. Back to Contents Page Read More

Try swimming 20 metres straight down and you will still not reach their roots. On the way down see if you can spot a leafy sea dragon that hides by looking like a floating piece of torn off kelp. Watch out for huge king crabs that roam through the forest or sea snails that crawl up and down the kelp's long leaves. Big-Bellied Seahorse (Jon Bryan) Did you know that....? Kelp leaves called fronds can grow up to 50 centimetres a day. Kelp forms dense canopies up to 35 metres above the seabed. Most of us eat kelp regularly, by consuming ice-cream or jelly.

Radiolarians Click on the images to see a more detailed version... Radiolarians are tiny protozoans that live exclusively in the ocean. Although they seem small to us, they are quite large compared to other protozoans. Some species are several millimeters in diameter. Radiolarian skeletons are amazingly complex. They can either be spherically symmetrical, or bilaterally symmetrical (like the one below). Having spines extending from the main body is a way of increasing surface area (and thus resistance to falling in the water column), without greatly increasing overall weight. Some have oil globules as well. They form an important part of the marine food web. They act as decomposers, and when they die, their silicone-based skeletons rain down onto the sea floor and make up a lot of the subs Read More

Octopus

Votes:0
OCTOPUS The octopus is a shy creature. It spends lots of time lurking in crevices, waiting for food to pass by. If it gets frightened or angry, it changes colour immediately. An octopus hides in a rocky lair during the day and comes out at night to hunt for food, such as crabs. It approaches its prey slowly, then it pounces and wraps its tentacles around the unsuspecting meal. The octopus has eight legs. The blue ringed octopus could fit in a person's hand, but you shouldn't try it as it has a lethal bite. Look out for its warning system - blue ringed spots appear on its skin if it is irritated, or when it is feeding. Go to contents Read More

Sawfish sharks with swords FAQ SPECIES AQUARIUMS IS IT ILLEGAL TO BUY / SELL SAWFISH SNOUTS? REFERENCES SAWFISH TOYS LINKS Sawfishes are a group of extremely large shark-like rays which haunt the muddy shallows of tropical bays, rivers and lakes. Though fearsome in appearance, sawfishes are very docile. Due to decades of incidental capture in nets set for other species, sawfishes are in serious trouble and populations worldwide are severely depleted... ORIGIN & EVOLUTION Sharks arose from a common ancestor to bony fishes over 400 million years ago (mya) during the Silurian period. Cartilaginous fishes went a different direction in solving issues of buoyancy, physiology, and locomotion. In the Late Jurassic period, approximately 163 mya, a major break occured within the shark line when cert Read More

~ Sea Snakes ~ NAME: Sea snake is the common name for certain marine members of a family of venomous snakes. HABITAT: Sea snakes inhabit tropical waters from the Indian ocean to the Pacific ocean. Sea snakes are particularly abundant in the Persian Gulf and the Bay of Bengal. SIZE: Most sea snakes are not large, ranging from about 1.6 to 3.3 feet in length, although Stokes's sea snake can reach nearly 6 and a half feet. REPRODUCTION: One group of sea snakes, sometimes called the true sea snakes, give birth to live young and lack the enlarged ventral scales typical of most terrestrial snakes. The other group, sometimes referred to as seakraits, lay eggs; because they must leave the water to deposit their eggs, they retain straplike ventral scales, although these may be smaller than those of Read More
