Mysterious clear-blood fish

I was going through Yahoo today and found this interesting article on the clear-blood fish that is worth sharing to all.

The fish named Ocellated Ice Fish lives in the freezing waters of the Antartic Ocean.  The fish has no  haemoglobin, making it unique among vertebrates in the world.

The fish that has no scales is the main attraction at Japan's Tokyo Sea Life Park, where all the curious specimen were placed.

Researchers believe that the fish can live without hemoglobin because it has a large heart and uses blood plasma to circulate oxygen throughout its body.  It skin is also thought to be able to absorb oxygen from the rich waters of the Antartic, where it is found at depths of up to 3,300 feet.

More studies need to be done to answer many questions of the clear blood fish.

P/S: Very weird la this fish..

Ocean Pollution

We know that most parts of our earth is covered with water with 70% of it is ocean.  Oceans and seas has helped us in many ways especially for their rich oceanic resources. 

But do you know that waste dumping to ocean is nearly 14 billion pounds each year? That is a lot of garbage!  Ocean polution will not only harm the underwater creatures, but also to human being.



Materials like plastic are not absorbed and recycleable so when these animals consume it, you can imagine how they will end up with.  It is so irresponsible for human to do this to them. 

Poor baby turtle :-(

Please help to preserve our ocean as much as we can.
