It's My Blog's 1st Birthday

Shark Allies Says Half A Million Sharks May Have To Be Killed To Make A COVID-19 Vaccine

Squalene, natural oil that is being harvested from sharks is being used in the Covid-19 vaccine. This ingredient is used as an adjuvant in medicine which increases the effectiveness of a vaccine by increasing the immune response. In order to immunize everyone in the world with two doses of the COVID-19 vaccine containing squalene, would require around half a million sharks, a shark group said. Around 3,000 sharks are needed to extract one tonne of squalene. According to the Shark Allies, species targeted for being rich in squalene include the gulper shark and the basking shark, which are classed as vulnerable, meaning that their populations are decreasing and they could become endangered if the circumstances threatening them continue. The advocacy group has said that harvesting an endangered specie for a component in the medicine is not sustainable. “Harvesting something from a wild animal is never going to be sustainable, especially if it's a top predator that doesn't reproduc...

Antarctica Sea Ice Mystery? The Truth Behind the Enormous Ice Gap

Image
Scientists have discovered evidence for the open-ocean polynya formed over the Maud Rise, in the Wendell Sea, during the winters of 2016-2017. The study reveals the key process on how the polynya was able to form and persist for several weeks. The team of researchers from the University of Southampton, the University of Gothenburg and the University of California San Diego studied the Maud Rise polynya. They found that the polynya was brought on by interactions between the wind, ocean flow and geography resulting in vertical missing of the heat and salt towards the sea surface. Polynyas are openings in the winter sea ice that act like giant vents, exposing the warm water below to the freezing air above. Coastal Polynyas are regular visitors along the Antarctic coast where strong winds push sea ice away from the land, creating open water. Open-Ocean Polynyas are rare events that occur in the middle of the Southern Ocean. They are often linked to changes in the ocean's saltiness, w...
