Tiger at the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo dies after accident involving anesthesia - KKTV

Image
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (KKTV) - A tiger at the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo passed away on Friday following a fall involving anesthesia. On Tuesday, the zoo (CMZoo) shared a news release involving the incident that can be viewed at the bottom of this article. The zoo is reporting 2-year-old Amur tiger Mila needed dental care for a "severe" dental issue. There were concerns that if the dental issue was left untreated, it could have led to a fatal infection. When Mila received the anesthesia, she reportedly jumped on a bench and fell asleep. Less than a minute after falling asleep, Mila fell off the bench and died because of a spinal injury. "She could have slid off from that height a hundred times and landed in a variety of other positions and been unaffected," said Dr. Eric Klaphake, CMZoo head veterinarian. "The team quickly entered her den when it was safe and diligently tried for 40 minutes to give her life-saving care." You can read the full news release

Sediment diversion breaks ground, promising to stave back land ... - Louisana Illuminator

Humans have long tried to tame the Mississippi River with levees. In the process, they starved many of Louisiana's coastal wetlands of the sediment that sustains them. The Mid-Barataria Sediment Diversion, billed as the first project of its kind, seeks to remedy that by replicating those natural land-building processes by reconnecting the basin to the mighty river. The $2.9 billion effort to stave back coastal land loss began construction officially Thursday. Louisiana has lost more than 2,000 square miles of land since 1932, according to the U.S. Geological Survey. The state experiences one of the highest rates of land loss in the world because of factors that include rising seas from climate change, land subsidence and sediment loss. Once constructed, the 2-mile diversion channel in Plaquemines Parish will funnel freshwater, sediment and nutrients into the mid-Barataria Basin in hopes of building 21 square miles of land. The project could discharge sediment and water into

The impact of selected abiotic factors on Artemia hatching process ... - Nature.com

Abstract Current studies on abiotic impacts on Artemia , a crustacean which is widely used in aquaculture, and ecotoxicology, often focus on endpoint analysis (e.g., hatching rates, survival). Here, we demonstrate that a mechanistic understanding can be obtained through measurement of oxygen consumption in real-time over an extended time period in a microfluidic platform. The platform enables high level control of the microenvironment and direct observation of morphological changes. As a demonstration, temperature and salinity are chosen to represent critical abiotic parameters that are also threatened by climate change. The hatching process of Artemia consists of four different stages: hydration, differentiation, emergence, and hatching. Different temperatures (20, 35, and 30 °C) and salinities (0, 25, 50, and 75 ppt) are shown to significantly alter the duration of hatching stages, metabolic rates, and hatchability. Specifically, the metabolic resumption of dormant Artemia

Asian green mussels threat to oyster beds, nuisance for boaters - WPTV News Channel 5 West Palm

SEBASTIAN, Fla. —  Just steps off of the city of Sebastian's shoreline, a working waterfront keeps the town's rich fishing history alive. "Another day on the river sorting oysters," Nicolette Mariano said. Crews spend hours on the water shucking away to serve-up the only locally grown oysters you'll find on the Treasure Coast. Mariano started her Treasure Coast Shellfish business during the pandemic. "It has been a complete rollercoaster," she said. Keeping her seed oysters under careful watch and tracking the time they're in and out of the water, she monitors temperatures and water conditions all while working around fears of algae blooms or hurricanes. And if those challenges aren't enough, there's also the threat of Asian green mussels. "There's a big mussel. Green mussel, you can see the byssal threads," Mariano said. "I think you guys saw they found a couple little ones, too with what we were going through, so

The 7 Best Tank Mates to Pair With Male Betta Fish - AZ Animals

Image
More Great Content: While bettas ( Betta splendens ) have a reputation for being mean, it's possible to keep a male betta fish with appropriate tank mates. Male bettas cannot be kept with others of their kind, but other fish species cohabitate well with them. What can be kept with bettas? We'll talk about the 7 best tank mates to pair with male betta fish now. Things to Remember When Picking Companion Fish for Bettas There are a few key things to remember when picking out tank mates for bettas. Bettas do not do well in small bowls despite their popularity. Betta fish need a minimum of 5 gallons to live comfortably, but more space is needed if tank mates are in the mix. This is because they are more antagonistic in confined environments. It is also important to remember that other fish require more space than bettas. Bettas need soft hiding spots like silk or live plants if they're going to share their space with other fish. Since bettas are tropical fish, a heating element
