DEEP SEA DRAGON FISH

DEEP SEA DRAGON FISH





Here's a look at the sea dragon fish creature
that look's like the spiderman villain venom ..

This is not ... Is a deep sea dragon fish these fishes have incredible jaws that immobilize their prey and their fang like teeth make them ferocious predators .


Deep sea dragon fish teeth are either bound or tightly hinged which allows them to fall inward while eating and they have a second set of jaws located in their branchial basket just in case one set was not enough . These fishes eat primarily marine fish and deep sea invertebrates and they can grow up to 20 inches  long which is definitely too big to something a face like that .


The good news is they live at extreme depths in Atlantic ocean . Sometimes as far as 4,500 meters and it's pretty darks way down their so they have a little barbel under their chin that lights up to attract prey like a lure it also has what's called bioluminescence which is the production and emission of light by living organisms .Most marine bioluminescence is greeny blue but the deep sea dragon's fish emits a red glow this allow it to see red pigmented prey which would otherwise be invisible in deep sea a red light gets filtered out by water column unlike most fish it doesn't have scales .Instead its a good slimy flesh like outside that's very similar to an eel and as a result of the atmospheric pressure of its ocean environment the dragon fish has minimal skeleton .


Besides of all dragon's fish is the amazing creation of ALLAH...

BULEGI BEACH OR FRENCH BEACH

 BULEGI BEACH

OR
FRENCH BEACH



Buleji is a Rocky beach. It’s Clear water is ideal for snorkeling and Scuba-diving as well as surfing during Monsoon Season.

ROCKY   SHORE;

A Rocky Shore is an Inter-Tidal Area that consists of Solid Rocks.It is often a Biologically Rich Environment and can include many different habitats types like Steep Rocky Cliffs, Platforms, Rocky Pools and Boulder Fields. Because of continuously action of tides it is characterized by Erosional Features. Organisms live in this area, experience Daily Fluctuations in their Environment.

ZONATION;

Rocky Tides are divided into following zones.
                                                                                               
1-    SUPRA  -  TIDAL   ZONE;

When the Tide retreats, the upper regions becomes exposed. The organisms that live in this region are facing problems like Gas Exchange, Desiccation, Temperature Changes and Feeding. This upper region is also called “Splash Zone or Supralittoral Zone”.Organisms of this region are Lichens, Green Algae, Cyanobacteria, Snails, Isopods, Barnacles and Limpets etc. Snails graze on Algae.

2-    INTER  -  TIDAL   ZONE;

The Inter-Tidal or Littoral Zone is the Shoreward fringe of the sea bed between the highest and lowest limit of the tides. This zone is a transition zone between the land and the sea, it causes Heat Stress, Desiccation Oxygen Depletion and reduced opportunity for Feeding.
It can be further divided into three zones.

Ø  HIGH  INTER - TIDAL  ZONE;
This region is only flooded during high tides. Organisms that you can find here are Anemones, Barnacles, Chitons, Crabs, Isopods, Mussels, Sea-Stars, Snails, Etc.

Ø  MID  LITTORAL  ZONE;
This is a turbulent zone that is covered twice a day. Common organisms are Snails, Sponges, Sea-Stars, Barnacles, Mussels, Sea-Palms, Crabs, Etc.

Ø  LOWER  LITTORAL  ZONE;
This region is usually covered with water. It is only uncovered when the tide is extremely low. The Common organisms are Brown Sea-Weeds, Crabs, Hydroids, Mussels, Sea-Cucumbers, Sea-Lettuce, Sea-Urchins, Shrimps, Snails, Tube-Worms, Etc.


3-    TIDAL  POOLS;
They are Rocky Pools in the Inter-Tidal Zone that are filled with Sea-Water. They are formal by abrasion and weathering of less resistant rock and scouring of fractures and joints in the shore platform. In low located pools, Whelks, Mussels, Sea-Urchins and Littorina Littorea are common. Periwinkles and Littorina Rudis are found in high located pools. Other common organisms are Flat-Worms, Rotifers, Cladocerans, Copepods, Ostracods, Barnacles, Amphipods, Isopods, Chironomid Larvae and Oligochaetes.

4-    SUB  -  TIDAL  ZONE;
This zone is below the Inter-Tidal Zone and is continuously covered by water.Temperature, Water Pressure and Sunlight Radiation remain nearly constant. Organisms do not dry out as often as organisms are higher on the beach.

CYANOBACTERIA   AT   BULEJI;

Species of Cyanobacteria were recorded from the surface sediments (Edaphic), Rock Surfaces (Ephilithic), in Rock Pool and Open Sea-Water. The Inter-Tidal Communities of Cyanobacteria appeared to be involved in a number of Physiological and Ecological Activities. They act as Natural Detoxicant for Oil and other Chemicals and are also A Source for the Production of Secondary Metabolites of Ecological Significance. These organisms help in the Energy Transformation to Higher Trophic Levels and also play Ecologically Significant role in the Production of new Nitrogen and Carbon in the Benthic Environment.

SIGNIFICANCE   OF   BULEJI;

The Significance of this area is to study the Sea-Life because it had Biologically Rich Environment. It works as a useful “Natural laboratory” for studying Inter-Tidal Ecology and other Biological Processes. Its Biota has the Ability to survive in Arid as well as in Trenched Situation due to facing Lowest Low and Highest High Tides.

DECREASING   BIO - MASS;

The Ecology of this area is found to be Gradually Degrading that was Evident by its decreasing Bio-Mass.

This Coast was rich in Flora and Fauna like any other Coast of the World but due to Anthropogenic Disturbances, Higher Amount of Pollution and the Effects Of Climate Changes, Coastal Marine Bio-Diversity is under Serious Threat.

WEIRD SEA DISCOVERIES

The most weird new marine species were picked from the "approximately 18,000 new species named during the previous years."
 The list is compiled in part to raise awareness of the

 "Discoveries that are made even as species are going extinct faster than they are being identified."



 Basket Star or Gorgon Head Starfish:-

DISCOVERY: -

A Basket Star or Gorgon Head Starfish (Euryalid Ophiuroid-Gorgonocephalus sp.), which was caught at approximately 800m below sea level in the Atlantic Ocean.

- The gorgon head starfish or basket star is too much looks like star fish and is well named .

- Have yellow pale color ,commonly lives at the bottom of ocean. when disturbed arms curls up and its body changed from bush to tight ball.

- This specie lives off shrimps and plankton
.
-Also have unique character of alien like tendrils for movement.











Ruby seadragon:-

 DISCOVERY: -

 This discovery was made off coast of Western Australia. Due to its amazing appearance. It is too much related to sea horses.

. This new kind of sea fish, 240 mm (nearly 10 inches) in length. Due to ruby red color with pink stripes on its body this specie well named as RUBY RED DRAGON.




 Scaly-Foot Gastropod:-

DISCOVERY: -

The Scaly-foot gastropod (or sometimes “armored snail”) is 
another deep-sea creature living near scalding thermal vents. 
They found at 7,940 feet deep. Scaly foot gastropod have shells and scales composed of iron and mineral.



LARIOGNATHUS DINEMA:-


DISCOVERY: -

A female angler fish discovered in the northern Gulf Mexico Dr. Theodore W Pietsch ,  university of Washington  .  They produce their own light by means of that they have unique way to attracts prey.




MARIANA TRENCH JELLY FISH : -


DISCOVERY: -

Marine researchers have discovered a strange alien-like creature during exploring the underwater world found in  ocean trench on Earth. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) scientist team spotted new specie jellyfish during an expedition to the Mariana Trench in the Pacific. Thats why its called Mariana trench fish.




NINJA LANTERN SHARK : -


DISCOVERY: -


Ninja lantern shark has ligh emmiting organs found in the eastern Pacific Ocean from Nicaragua, south to Panama and Costa Rica.



GHOST OCTOPUS : -


DISCOVERY: -

Scientists are surprised to encounter what may be a never before seen octopus more than 4,000 meters (13,123 feet ) deep under the sea near Hawaii .
