The full name of Los Angeles is “El Pueblo de Nuestra Señora la Reina de los Angeles de Porciuncula.” 9. Bananas will grow blue if they are under black light.
Marine biology is the scientific study of the biology of marine life, organisms that inhabit the sea.Given that in biology many phyla, families and genera have some species that live in the sea and others that live on land, marine biology classifies species based on the environment rather than on taxonomy.

The importance of ocean sunfish in marine food webs is unknown. [29] However, since ocean sunfish feed on gelatinous prey with a generalist diet, this suggests that these species play an important role in coastal food webs. [31] If sunfish were to be removed as bycatch, it can drive localized trophic cascades with top-down control being reduced ...
This is due to research surveys rarely being able to catch mature adults, as well as the general lack of research on fish reproductive ecology in the deep sea. [16] It is likely, however, that viperfish share a similar reproductive ecology to other dragonfishes which have been studied more extensively (under Stomiidae family).
Atlantic sturgeon under six years of age stay in the brackish water where they were born before moving into the ocean. They may be 3–5 ft (0.91–1.52 m) long at this stage. In areas where shortnose sturgeon are also present, the adults of that species can be, and historically were for centuries, confused with immature Atlantic sturgeon. When ...
To begin with, the Southern Ocean has been characterized by extremely cold but stable temperatures for the past 10–14 million years. [26] These cold temperatures, which allow for higher water oxygen content, combined with a high degree of vertical mixing in these waters, means oxygen availability in Antarctic waters is unusually high.
