The South China Sea is a major water body containing a large and diverse fish fauna. However, many areas of the South China Sea, particularly in Malaysia and Vietnam, have been poorly studied in terms of fish taxonomy and diversity. Local fish scientists and students have frequently faced difficulty when try- ing to identify fishes in their home countries.

  • Recycled Fish Sculpture (.PDF)
    Recycled Fish Sculpture Name:__________ Fish: are a paraphyletic group of organisms that consist of all gill-bearing aquatic vertebrate animals that lack limbs with digits. At 32,000 species, fish exhibit greater species diversity than any other group of vertebrates. Sculpture: is three-dimensional artwork created by shaping or combining hard materials—typically stone such as marble—or metal, glass, or wood. Softer ("plastic") materials can also be used, such as clay, textiles, plastics, polymers and softer metals. They may be assembled such as by welding or gluing or by firing, molded or cast. Researched Photo Source: Alaskan Rainbow STEP ONE: CHOOSE one fish from the attached Fish Names list. Trout STEP TWO: RESEARCH on-line and complete the attached K/U Fish Research Sheet. STEP THREE: DRAW 3 conceptual sketches with colour pencil crayons of possible visual images that represent your researched fish. STEP FOUR: Once your fish designs are approved by the teacher, DRAW a representational outline of your fish on the 18 x24 and then add VALUE and COLOUR . CONSIDER: Individual shapes and forms for the various parts you will cut out of recycled pop aluminum cans (such as individual scales, gills, fins etc.) STEP FIVE: CUT OUT using scissors the various individual sections of your chosen fish from recycled pop aluminum cans. OVERLAY them on top of your 18 x 24 Representational Outline 18 x 24 Drawing representational drawing to judge the shape and size of each piece. STEP SIX: Once you have cut out all your shapes and forms, GLUE the various pieces together with a glue gun.

Soil physicochemical and ethnobiological studies on the peat swamp forests of Southern Papua, Indonesia. Biodiversitas 21: 1714-1722. Peatlands play an important role in human life, particularly its direct impact for the locals. People in peatlands depend on the availability of natural resources, including in Papua. The purpose of this research was to determine the important role of peatland areas in the lives of locals in southern Papua. The survey was conducted using the purposive sampling method. Peat soil samples were analyzed at the Balai Penelitian dan Teknologi Pertanian (Agricultural Research and Technology Center) (BPTP) Yogyakarta. The results showed that peatlands in the southern part of Papua, specifically Mappi District, belong to the fibric peats category.

  • Summary of Weather and Flood Events
    1.Summary.of.weather. and.flood.events What follows is an overview of the weather events leading up to and during the 2010/2011 floods with a summary of their effects across the state. It is not intended as an exhaustive account. 1.1.Summary.of.weather.leading.to. 1 2010/2011.flood.events The Queensland wet season extends from October to April, with the initial monsoonal onset usually occurring in late December. The 2010/2011 wet season was different. In June 2010 the Australian Bureau of Meteorology warned that a La Niña event was likely to occur before the end of the year.1 The La Niña change has historically brought above average rainfall to most of Australia and an increased risk of tropical cyclone events for northern Australia. Previous La Niña effects had been associated with flooding in eastern Australia, including the large scale and devastating floods which occurred in 1955 and 1973/1974.2 As predicted, a strong La Niña event took place in the Pacific Ocean in late 2010. La Niñas are often described in terms of a positive Southern Oscillation Index, which represents the normalised pressure difference between Darwin and Tahiti and gives a positive reading when pressures are high in Tahiti and low in Darwin.3 The index ranges from about -35 to +35.4 During December 2010 the Southern Oscillation Index was +27.1, representing the highest December value on record and the highest monthly value since 1973.5 In turn, Australia experienced an extremely strong La Niña during the end of 2010 and beginning of 2011; the second strongest
