Doaneville Pond

Doaneville Pond is a 68.4-acre waterbody located in Griswold. It is connected to Glasgo Pond by a waterway under a bridge.  Using the public boat ramp on Glasgo Pond and driving under the bridge is the only public access to the lake. There is a mobile home community near the bridge and other various houses scattered around the shore. There is also a campground in the north center section of the lake. Boating is popular on the lake as well as using jet skis and water skiing.

Vegetation in Doaneville Pond is limited to a narrow band along the shore as the pond quickly slopes to a depth where light to restricts plant growth. The 2011 CAES IAPP survey found 22 species of aquatic plants, including one invasive. The invasive plant was fanwort (Cabomba caroliniana). It was found only at the northern tip of the northwest cove. The northern shoreline was the most species rich area of the lake. All of the plants could be found growing together along the shoreline. The small, shallow water plant, mudmat (Glossostigma cleistanthum), and white water lily (Nymphaea odorata) occurred most frequently. The eastern peninsula was the most species rich area of the lake. Eleven native plants could be found growing together there.

In shallow waters, waterwort (Elatine species), spikerush (Eleocharis species), sevenangle pipewort (Eriocaulon aquaticum), mudmat, golden hedge-hyssop (Gratiola aurea), and quillwort (Isoetes species) frequently grew together. Growing along the shore were knotweed (Polygonum species), pickerelweed (Pontederia cordata), arrowhead (Sagittaria species), and sedges (Carex). There were seven floating leaf species: watershield (Brasenia schreberi), common duckweed (Lemna minor), yellow water lily (Nuphar variegata), white water lily, floating heart (Nymphoides species), great duckweed (Spirodela polyrhiza), and watermeal (Wolffia species). Two pondweeds were found, snailseed pondweed (Potamogeton bicupulatus) and floating-leaf pondweed (Potamogeton natans). Slender naiad (Najas flexilis) was found only in the northern half of the lake, while eelgrass (Vallisneria americana) was found only in the southern half of the lake.

This fish is worth $300,000 - New York Post

This fish is worth $300,000 - New York Post This fish is worth $300,000 - New York Post Posted: 05 Jun 2016 12:00 AM PDT With exacting precision, the surgeon inserted the scalpel above the eyeball and cut out a snotty deposit of fatty tissue. The routine eye-lift was nearly complete when suddenly the patient awoke, suffocating, and began to flop about on the table. The audience gasped. Knowing time was of the essence, the surgeon scooped up the patient in his arms, raced across the stage, and dropped her into a tank of water. She revived. Because she was a fish. Yes, fish eye-lifts exist. As do fin jobs and tail tucks. The operating theater was a mall in Jakarta, Indonesia, where a pet expo was under way. As for the patient, she survived, her formerly droopy eyes now bright and perky. A good thing, too, as this was no ordinary goldfish but rather an Asian arowana, the world's most expensive aquarium denizen, rumored to sell for as mu

Catching Dory: selling aquarium fish supports coastal livelihoods in Indonesia | npj Ocean Sustainability - Nature.com

Abstract The global marine aquarium trade has created new local markets across the planet, including in Indonesia, now the second-largest exporting country of marine aquarium fish in the world. Participating in the global aquarium trade has been touted as a potentially sustainable addition to fisher livelihoods, but scant data exist showing the numbers of fish coming off the reef and how those fish contribute to income. To determine how participants in the trade incorporate aquarium species in their livelihoods, we examine source-level aquarium fish collecting and trading data in the Banggai Archipelago, a region in Central Sulawesi that has become a significant source for popular aquarium, also known as ornamental, fish species. Using a sustainable livelihoods lens, we examine this data to understand how participants in the aquarium trade both contribute to as well as benefit from the trade and consider how their participation relates to emerging Blue Justice principles.
