06.01.2022 The giant spider crab aggregations in Port Phillip and throughout Victoria are an amazing natural phenomenon. They are a popular species for many recreational f...ishers, and are a must-see yearly event for divers and tourists. In an Australian first, our scientists, with help from scuba divers, have tagged 15 giant spider crabs off Blairgowrie with specialised satellite tags to track their movements! During the cooler months, these crabs gather by the thousands to moult in shallow waters, becoming more accessible to the public when near popular piers in Port Phillip. After moulting, the crabs move on to a solitary life and aren’t seen again until the following year. Exactly where they disappear to is currently unknown. It’s important that we understand exactly where the spider crabs go after moulting. That way, we can determine whether the crabs we see in Port Phillip are connected or separate to the rest of the spider crab population distributed across the Victorian coastline. Cue the satellite tags! A mix of male and female newly moulted spider crabs have now been tagged so we can gain a better understanding of where they go. Although the tags look large and buoyant, they won’t impact crab movement or behaviour. Each tag has been programmed to be released from a crab, float to the surface, link with satellites and upload valuable movement data. Over the next 15 weeks, one tag will be released from a different crab each week. This is a trial study, so if successful, we will expand this research into next year. You can find out more about this study and how YOU can contribute through citizen science and a survey here: https://vfa.vic.gov.au/science-in-fisheries/spidercrabs Kina Diving RedBoats.com.au Spider Crabs Melbourne

01.01.2022 The sand in Okinawa, Japan contains thousands of tiny "stars". These "grains of sand" are actually exoskeletons of marine protozoa, which lived on the ocean flo...or 550 million years ago. A 1mm star! On the beaches of Okinawa in Japan, the sand is mostly made up of foraminifera, a one-celled organism that feeds on the minerals found in sea salt. You just have to take a handful of sand and look at it with a magnifyin glass to realize that the grains are pretty little stars. The same goes for Bermuda, where they also take on a pinkish color due to algae. These little stars are neither animals nor plants, and have been present on earth for 500 million years. These are not true starfish in the literal sense of the word, but protozoa, a mineral shell that can take many forms depending on the species, including a star. Their size generally varies from 38 mm to 1 mm. scientific-park .. le Figaro
