Dolphin Says 'Seaweed' (Dolphin Facts)

Prototype software created to interpret certain dolphin whistles has performed its first real-time translation, New Scientist reports. While swimming in the Caribbean with a dolphin pod and donning the translator—dubbed Cetacean Hearing and Telemetry—a researcher heard one of the marine mammals blurt out a whistle that stands for seaweed. Researchers had taught the dolphin that sound, which the technology is designed to distinguish and translate into an English word. The work will be presented at the IEEE International Conference on Acoustics, Speech, and Signal Processing in May.

A Deep-Sea Solution to Global Warming?

Carbon curiosity. This Pacific grenadier fish, swimming 3627 meters deep off central California, appeared unperturbed by a nearby blob of liquid carbon dioxide that slowly mixes with surrounding seawater.

SAN FRANCISCO--Charts of the seafloor soon may have strange new features: lakes of liquid carbon dioxide. Climate-change scientists are considering the deep ocean as a place to store some of society's excess CO₂ emissions. The idea looks feasible, according to several reports presented here on 18 December at a meeting of the American Geophysical Union. However, it's not clear whether the scheme would harm sea life in the long run.

Penguin Facts: When a Male Penguin falls in Love with a Female Penguin, he searches the entire beach to find the Perfect Pebble to present to her.

Many researchers are exploring ways to remove CO₂--the main culprit behind the planet's intensifying greenhouse effect--from the atmosphere. Options include planting forests, injecting CO₂ into geologic formations, and fertilizing the ocean to spawn algal growth (ScienceNOW, 11 October 2000). The deep sea is tantalizing, because oceanographers have suspected that CO₂ sequestered there would remain trapped.

Octopus Facts: A Baby Octopus can be as small as your Finger Tip.

That hope appears borne out by new simulations from seven international groups. One team, climate modelers Michael Wickett and Ken Caldeira of Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in Livermore, California, used a 3D ocean circulation model to show that if gaseous CO₂ is pumped 3 kilometers deep, virtually none of it escapes. Indeed, "the ocean retains most of the carbon for several centuries" because deep seawater takes so long to circulate back to the surface, Caldeira says. Shallower injections--at 800 meters, for instance--allow some CO₂to diffuse back into the atmosphere within decades, due to currents that exchange water between midwater depths and the surface.

Jellyfish Facts: Jellyfish evaporate in the sun because they have 98% water in them.

The 3-kilometer figure also proved magical during a cruise off central California in March, directed by oceanographer Peter Brewer of the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute (MBARI) in Moss Landing. By releasing bubbles of gaseous CO₂ and tracking their motions with a remotely operated submersible, Brewer's team determined that the bubbles start sinking at 2675 meters. At the cold temperatures and extreme pressures of 3 kilometers deep, a slow injection of CO₂ creates liquid blobs that "roll around the ocean floor like tumbleweeds," he says. Water molecules encase the CO₂ to form a thin layer of "hydrates," an icelike skin that prevents the liquid from mixing with seawater or penetrating the sediments underneath.

Fish Facts: Koi Fish can live for Centuries - One Lived for 226 Years.

Still, the CO₂ would slowly dissolve into the ocean, Brewer notes, with unknown effects on nearby marine organisms. Brewer's colleague at MBARI, marine biologist Mario Tamburri, conducted field tests in 1998 and spring 2000 to gauge animal reactions to CO₂ at depths of 625 meters and 3 kilometers. His group found that fish were curious about the CO₂ hydrates and swam up to them with no observable ill effects--save for a persistent hagfish that entered the beaker and passed out three times. However, seafloor organisms were asphyxiated if CO₂covered them.

Shark Facts: Scientists have found a shark in greenland that eats polar bears and can live up to the age of 200.

Biological uncertainties may be a hurdle, especially with a skeptical public. "There are concerns about environmental consequences," says geochemist James Bishop of Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory in Berkeley, California. "The question is, can we learn enough to not mess up the job?"

Americans Are Eating Illegal Fish !!!

If you live in the United States, there’s a chance that one in three fish you consume was caught illegally. After analyzing data on the country’s seafood imports, researchers estimate that 20% to 32% of wild-caught seafood coming into the states was obtained by pirating, in which unauthorized fishers partake in practices like evading proper management by authorities. The findings, to be published in the September issue of Marine Policy, reveal that tuna brought in from Thailand and pollack from China run the highest risks of being illegal, National Geographic reports.
