Here it comes again‚ a counter current exchange system‚ similar to the one we found in the fish’s swim bladder and in the tuna’s muscles

He lets everything speak for itself‚ he does not put in frills or excessive wording for added sophistication‚ and‚ most importantly‚ everything has a purpose in his tales. His pieces feel carefully crafted; every word and every object has been placed there deliberately and not as a space filler‚ nothing has been overlooked and everything speaks

Big Fish The philosophical twist of mixing fact with fairy tale in story telling put a great spin on the plot. It gave the director the ability to make the impossible seem probable!

Koi Fish‚ Meditation‚ and Ghosts Koi fish has always fascinated me – there is something calming about their simple existence. I am reminded of the meditative state of mind aimed for in Zen‚ where thoughts‚ feelings‚ and sensations are allowed to come and go as they please while the source of our attention is firmly anchored within itself – in the breath‚ in the moment – immersed in the physiological sensory experience yet removed from it. Somehow the elegantly lazy movements of the koi fish bring

Introduction Fish kills are common in natural water systems near mining operations. A major fish-kill took place in the Clark Fork in 1984. These fish kills are due to unnaturally high salinity‚ which is toxic to the indigenous fish species‚ caused by group IA and IIA metal ions in the water. As the mine’s waste seeps into the water supply‚ the salinity‚ and thus toxicity to the fish‚ increases as the various metals dissolve. In this experiment a simulated water sample from Clark Fork‚ or portion
