我们有一个完整的花边新闻,以便this issue of the Friday smorgasbord so let’s get things rocking. First off is the fears that genetically modified Electric Green Tetras may pose a hazard to native species in parts of North and Latin America. Yorktown Technologies produced the GloFish in 2003 that used the genetic material in fluorescent coral to give it the strange, green glow and in February created the modified fish from the black tetra. So what, right? Well according to the FDA, the heat-loving zebra fish is from southern Asia and can’t survive long in cooler U.S. waters posing little risk on U.S. waterways. But the black tetra is native to South America and likely to be happy in the inland waterways of South Florida and Latin America. There are already 30 species of nonnative fish plaguing Florida and the shift in the genes from cross breeding in the wild could mean significant damage to the natural tetra populations.

Petco is getting on the infographic craze and has released a simple infographic showing the financial, physical and time commitment it takes to care for a clown fish vs. freshwater tropical fish. Most likely the national pet store chain is gearing up for the influx of parents and kids screaming for a “Nemo” after the 3D version of the PIXAR classic “Finding Nemo” hits the screens next weekend. Sure the information is basic but it is a good signal that Petco is trying to do a better job educating the public about making an informed decision about getting into a saltwater aquarium. I would rather have a surly LFS employee go on a rant against it but in a pinch, the infographic will work.
现在，如果我能拥有超级力量，那肯定可以像住在海底的虾一样呕吐光。研究人员最近对加勒比海的生物发光进行了一项研究，发现在公海中，估计有90％的生物具有发光的能力，与10-20％的海底居民相比。但是，沿着具有生物发光的人，包括世界上第一个鉴定出黑暗的海葵发光的辉光，以及一种将光作为防御机制，发光的珊瑚，海星和海参的光呕吐物。

研究人员正在使用鱼的耳朵来追踪他们的生活。他们的工作方式是，他们分析了从耳石或耳骨上记录的同位素特征，它们记录了与树环相似的生命。这些签名是鱼类生活和饲料的每个环境所独有的特征，他们对少年珊瑚礁鱼类如何将沿海海草和红树林栖息地作为托儿所产生了深刻的线索，后来随后以成年人的身份移动到珊瑚礁上。

特里顿（Triton）于1846年首次发现，是海王星最大的月亮，仍然有很多阴谋和神秘感。最近的指标科学家一直在跟踪表明，在月球的岩石核心及其冰冷的表面壳之间可能存在液态海洋。科学家正在调查直到现在的海洋是否可以生存。有一些非常有趣且复杂的理论，因此请前往space.comto read all about it.
