It's My Blog's 1st Birthday

From ideas to creating, writing to editing, it's worth everything when I see my blog. It's been a year I created it, where I turned my passion for the ocean into a stream of words. Happy 1st birthday my baby blog.

Whales And Its Representative Species

Image
We all know that whales are the largest water inhabitants living on the earth. Despite living in the water, they need to air breathe just like humans. Blowholes located on top of their head makes them breathe in. They can live underwater for longer periods of time and retain themselves on krill, crabs, and small fish. Although there are 90 whale representative species. Humpback, beluga, blue whale, fin, bowhead, and North Atlantic right whale are most commonly known. Humpback whales Humpback whales are known for their melody songs. And travel through all the oceans in the world. They regularly propel through the water and land with a tremendous splash.  Can grow up to lengths of: between 15 to 19 meters Weight: up to 40 tons Life Span: up to 50 years Gestation Period: 11 months Condition:  Least Concern Beluga Whales Belugas are the sociable mammals that feed on shrimps, crabs, and small fish. Their bulbous forehead known as melon is capable of ...

Scientists Discovered 4 New Giant Single-Celled Organisms In The Deep Pacific Ocean

Image
Two new genera and four giant single-celled xenophyophores (protozoans belonging to a group called the foraminifera). The species were discovered during a joint project from scientists at the national geographic center, UK (NOC), University of Hawaii, and the University of Genova. New species were collected by remotely operated vehicle Lu'ukai on an expedition to the western Clarion Clipperton Zone (CCZ) aboard the RV Kilo Moana where the seabed in this area is about 3 miles deep.  "We were excited to find these beautiful new xenophyophores," said Andrew Gooday, professor at NOC and lead author of the recently published findings. "It seemed appropriate to name one after 'Moana', a Hawaiian word meaning ocean. Xenophyophores are one of the most common types of large organisms found on the CCZ abyssal plains, so the name of the second genus (Abyssalia) was chosen to reflect this." Xenophyophores construct shells, called tests, which they obta...

Do Noises affect Life on the sea floor?

Image
Countless marine animals rely on noise to survive, for e.g: to detect predators, for echolocation, and as a means of communication with the co-species. In recent decades, the sounds caused by human activities are affecting marine species, especially the sounds emitted by cargo ships, loud explosions, and seismic surveys. A study by the Alfred-Wegener institute showcases that the sounds may impact the functioning of the ocean floor. Invertebrates such as mussels, crustaceans, and worms(referred to as ecosystem engineers) frequently sediment the area they live in by burrowing, feeding, aerating, and fertilizing with their excreta. These activities play a vital role in the nutrient cycle in the ocean, allowing more carbon from the dead organic material to be stored on the sea floor and nutrients to be recycled.  Sound can travel long distances underwater, sometimes hundreds and even thousands of kilometers whereas light can travel only tens of meters.  A research team from the Al...
