RAJKOT: Selling non-veg food on Maha Shivratri proved costly for Sahili Shakir Ganibhai. Rajkot Municipal Corporation (RMC) has lodged a complaint against Sahili with the Rajkot taluka police station under the section 188 of IPC which deals with the violation of notification issued by the local authority.
RMC had issued a notification prohibiting the sale or storage of meat, fish, chicken and mutton on March 11, the day Maha Shivratri was celebrated. Moin Saeed, an inspector from the solid waste management department of RMC, filed a complaint with the police that the accused, in violation of the order issued by RMC commissioner, was running a Bilali Biryani food parcel service.
SALEM â Next to the babbling banks of the Santiam Riverâs south fork, Brooke Penaluna sought a flat spot to set up shop. She plopped down a black, pipe-like reservoir with four clear cups on top and clicked the power button on a small pump that sounded like the worldâs tiniest lawnmower.
âAnd then we put on our gloves and our waders, and we go out into the stream,â said Penaluna, who works as a research fish biologist for the U.S. Forest Serviceâs Pacific Northwest Research Station.
Near the middle of the river, Penaluna carefully dipped four plastic bottles into the oncoming water, tightly capping them for the journey back to shore.
The Layers of Narwhal s Tusk Tell The History of Its Life in a Rapidly Changing World
14 MARCH 2021
From the outside, the narwhal s unicorn-like tusk is a striking curiosity. On the inside, this long protruding tooth contains an entire life history of the marine mammal s migration and meals, from its first breath to its last.
Peeling back each of these growth layers, researchers have now read the rings of 10 narwhal tusks from northwest Greenland. It is unique that a single animal in this way can contribute with a 50-year long-term series of data, says marine mammal researcher Rune Dietz from Aarhus University, Denmark.
There has been a significant reduction in the quantity of Icelandic-caught fish being thrown back into the sea when fish of the wrong size are accidentally caught, or when the boat does not hold a quota for a particular species which ends up in its nets.
According to Marine Research Institute figures the volume of by-catch thrown back last year was lower than any of the last ten years. Generally less than one percent of cod caught have been thrown back since 1999; but last year it was less than half-a-percent. Traditionally more haddock has been wasted; but only one percent of the total catch last year.
