We used acoustic telemetry to investigate the roles of depth and temperature in daytime foraging behaviours 13 tagged pelagic thresher sharks by monitoring their fine scale vertical movements Philippines. Cumulatively, shark dives traversed entire water column where they encountered temperatures that ranged from 33°C at surface 12°C 250 m depths throughout day, but individuals varied extent bot...

Small <span>industries are inseparable from the production of gaseous pollutants. One contents exhaust gases produced small industrial activities is particulate matter. The consequences exposure to matter for too long coughing, cancer, blood coagulation, and death. For this reason, a tool needed capture in gases. Based on problems described, research proposes using electrostatic precipita...

Abstract We deployed jaws of the common thresher shark ( Alopias vulpinus ) on seafloor at ~1000 m depth off Monterey California for 8 months. The disintegrated, with all hyaline cartilage disappearing, leaving some fragments tessellated and teeth. Two different Osedax species, O. packardorum talkovici were found to have bored into roots teeth, using dentin pulp, which is rich in collagen, as a...
