Mystic Aquarium Animal Rescue Team Leaps into Action After Uncovering New Data on ...
Mystic, CT – Mystic Aquarium’s Animal Rescue Program has ramped up its research efforts relating to loggerhead sea turtles after analyzing its current data. Their analysis shows an increased number of deceased loggerhead sea turtles in this area in October this year compared to prior years.
The turtles that have washed up in the coverage area which includes Connecticut, Rhode Island, and Fisher’s Island, New York, have been mostly decomposed, preventing thorough post-mortem examination.
“Some recent turtles are in good body condition without any obvious signs of significant illness or human/fisheries interaction,” said Allison D. Tuttle, DVM, Diplomate ACZM, Senior Director of Animal Care and Veterinary Services and Director of the Animal Rescue Program.
Other members of the Greater Atlantic Region Stranding Network are also reporting increases in dead loggerhead sea turtles recently. Based on the reports from Mystic Aquarium and other organizations in the region, NOAA Fisheries will also be reviewing the data.
“Sea turtle strandings have been elevated from New York through Rhode Island in the last two months. We are working with the stranding network, including Mystic Aquarium, to investigate possible causes of this increase and monitor the numbers closely to see if this trend continues.” said Kate Sampson of NOAA Fisheries.
Tuttle and her team will continue to research the data here in Mystic as well if more turtles strand. The hope is to determine the cause and subsequently take action that will allow Mystic Aquarium and other partners to reverse the current trend.
Mystic Aquarium ardently supports sea turtle rescue and rehabilitation and currently partners with the North Carolina Aquarium at Pine Knoll Shores Sea Turtle Awareness Program, where rescued hatchlings are raised in a facility for one to two years for the purpose of conservation education.
“We get them in as tiny hatchlings that may not even weigh 100 grams”, said Tuttle, who was instrumental in fostering the partnership between Mystic Aquarium and NC Aquarium.
“Because of their larger size at release, their chances for survival are much greater than if they return to the ocean as hatchlings,” said Tuttle.
In November, Mystic Aquarium will release “Chance”, a loggerhead sea turtle who has been receiving care from the husbandry and veterinary staff for nearly a year, into the Gulf Stream.
“We’ve been involved with this program since 2008,” added Tuttle. “Chance is the eleventh loggerhead to have come through this program at Mystic Aquarium”.
Pollution, fishing, boat collisions, poaching, and habitat destruction have all contributed to the decline in the population of loggerhead turtles. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) cites the threats to sea turtles in the marine environment as entanglement in a wide-variety of fishing gear and marine debris such as plastic bags, bottles, nylon rope, and much more. This is a continuing problem for sea turtles, who accidentally ingest debris or become entangled.
Marine debris is a global problem and one that is not easy to fix; however, through both large-scale and individual efforts progress can be made. Individuals can assist in local cleanup initiatives and discard trash appropriately to help with this problem.
A larger initiative is the Washed Ashore Project, a non-profit, community-based organization with a mission of educating and creating awareness about marine debris and plastic pollution through art.
“We are excited to have Washed Ashore here at Mystic Aquarium,” said Dr. Stephen M. Coan, President & CEO, Sea Research Foundation, Inc. “It is a fresh, exciting and unique way to not only increase awareness of the issue of pollution and its effect on our oceans but also a poignant way to engage the public in environmental education and inspire activism to save our seas”.
The larger-than-life sculptures are crafted by lead artist Angela Haseltine Pozzi exclusively from marine debris and plastic pollution that has been collected by Pozzi and community members of all ages from beach clean-ups. Together the team cleans and processes the debris into art supplies.
The artwork is combined with scientifically based educational signage to teach children and adults alike about ocean stewardship, responsible consumer habits and more.
Washed Ashore will open at Mystic Aquarium on November 1.

Curiosity killed the cat: Terrifying Jaws-style attack caught on video
Video has captured the terrifying moment the tables turned on a curious kitten who ventured too close to a garden pond full of Japanese koi carp.
The footage, which has gone viral since it was posted online last week, shows the young cat hovering precariously over the lip of the pond as it peers into the murky water in Japan.
Another cat stands over the kitten protectively as its feline friend paws at the brightly-coloured koi circling below.
Suddenly, a huge brown-coloured fish leaps out of the pond and grabs the young cat as shocked onlookers scream.
Both predator and its prey vanish beneath the water as the last-standing cat remains frozen in terror.
It has been suggested that the attacking fish is of the pike variety as opposed to the placid koi.
It is not known if the kitten survived.

Koi Health & Disease
Doc has written this book so the average pond owner would be able to follow his instructions to bring a sick fish back to good health.
The “Release #2″ is his most recent updated release of this book
Dr. Johnson covers topics that pertain to all types of fish that might be found in an ornamental pond.
A Quick Reference Chart is printed on the back cover to help guide you through diagnoising fish problems.
The reason you should get the second book is because your first edition is probably rather worn by now. Plus, WE DROPPED about 70 pages of information from the first edition and replaced it with 90+ new pages of edited, revised and updated inforamtion. The book is now 204 pages long!
We REDUCED the font size, and improved the page layout to fit in MORE information but it STILL ran about sixty pages more than the old book.
New information: Almost everything was massaged, revised for accuracy, and we added notes of interest from the field garnered from the last ten years of practice of fish health. So everything’s updated, and we added expanded information on:
Nutrition, handling, laboratory techniques, bacterial infections, Koi Herpes Virus, SVC, Tricide Neo potentiated anti bacterial dip, Praziquantel in its current usage, pond predators and much, much more.
We also added improved images. We went back to the source code on some of the original images and retouched them then we put them to digital publishing on high resolution printers and paper.
By the way, the paper and binding are top notch. This isn’t copier paper simply perfect-bound. This is heavy 65lb paper with a nice spiral binding that allows the book to lay flat next to your fish, or your microscope.

Koi Health & Disease
Looking after Koi Fishes
With the years, individuals have been really warm-hearted towards koi fishes. Several have involved right into the leisure activity of looking after them. Any type of home or garden will certainly look better with a koi fish pool. Owners need to then understand basic knowledge on appropriate koi treatment in order to protect them.
Koi fishes reside in freshwater. It is then needed to provide them with tidy water. It needs to be literally as well as chemically clean. Although the water could be clear, it is not an assurance that the pond is beneficial for the koi fishes. Koi health will certainly be in horrible condition if the water they are wading in has high ammonia as well as nitrite content. If the degrees of ammonia originating from the fish excreta and also other organic matter are left in alarmingly high degrees, the gills of the fishes obtain harmed and their ability to take in air acquires endangered. Nitrites and also nitrates, on the other hand, are damaging to the anxious and also immune systems of the koi fishes. Set up a good filtering system to keep the water in good condition and prevent troubles in koi heath.
Also, like people, koi fishes are in alarming demand of air. It is advised to keep the oxygen fix a minimum of 5.0 mg/L per koi. However, it ought to be remembered that cold water will have the ability to hold higher amounts of dissolved oxygen as compared to cozy water so it is best to put an aeration system or a small waterfalls. This will enhance the supply of air for the fishes and also assist its distribution over the pool. Proprietors should also stop congestion the koi fishes. They will be contending not simply for area but also for air.
A typical issue in koi health is the advancement of abscess. These are the red broken areas on their body. They are generally induced by the exposure of their bodies with the chemicals that have accumulated on their environment. Stones and various other tough objects lining the pond could additionally harm them. Ulcers must be taken seriously because they could cause the fatality of the koi fishes. There are several measures that can be taken to avoid this. Proprietors could have their sick koi infused with a medicine or fed with an unique medication feed, or have actually the pool treated with prescription antibiotics.
Koi wellness could likewise be jeopardized by bloodsuckers. In many cases, proprietors observe this issue once the fishes already show up signs and symptoms. These might consist of lack of or lessened activity, anorexia nervosa as well as dulling of the pattern as well as base colours. At this point, the problem might already be very severe. Nonetheless, there is no have to stress given that this could quickly be resolved. To manage the leechlike infection within the pool, add an anti-parasitic therapy mix on the water. Get in touch with a specialist if essential.
These are just a couple of of the problems that koi health and wellness could be encountering. It is necessary to offer excellent koi treatment in order to assist these valuable ones grow. As owners, folks should be responsible enough to take care of all these matters. Koi fishes are unique and so they are worthy of special therapy too.

Exists a Perfect Pool Deepness?
Exists a minimum requirement for the depth of a pool which contains koi? Our pool is 18″ deep, 10×5 feet, and also well shaded.
The answer to that inquiry relies on the severity of your winters, whether there’s accessories or rock on the pool bottom and also whether you really want big Koi.
If winters months are severe, the pool might freeze to all-time low. Or near to it, and that would certainly wax some Koi.
If the pool bottom is unpleasant, or rocky, the fish, as they grow will develop contact sores on their pelvic and rectal fins – possibly yet not constantly resulting in ulcers. Smooth crushed rock on the bottom of the pool (the only kind they use unless they WANT holes in the liner, is not a trouble. Just try standing on it, to consider practically how glossy as well as NON ABRASIVE it is. Do not acquire all thrilled about crushed rock base ponds. Merely keep them tidy.
If the koi acquire really large (16+ in.), they will begin to “anxiety and stress” about the superficial deepness, not only considering that it breaches their sensations concerning predators yet also they will hardly be able to swim ‘up’ or ‘down’ in the limnion.
While I’ve seen lots of happy 24-36″ deep ponds, I have to claim the “ideal” pool, in my dealing with, was 4 feet deep. You can keep great clarity in that without a bunch of problem as well as the fish are happy with it. In extreme environments, six to eight feet are allegedly mandatory. Uh huh. I had a pond 8 feet deep as well as clearness to the bottom was slightly tough, capturing fish was a challenge and I needed to hand over all that “bottom water” to keep air stress high sufficient.
NO POND DEEPNESS STAYS AWAY FROM KILLERS. Killers like Herons, River Otters, Pelicans as well as Cormorants do NOT CARE just how deep the pond is, or isn’t really and also could clean the pond. Particularly River Otters.
Beavers, as well as Muskrats are vegetarians. Mink don’t like fish but will take them. A Snake or a bullfrog will take a little fish simple.

Dispute rages over pipeline Entrenched sides try to work out argument
LIMA — Chad Griggy began breeding koi in his basement in 2009. As demand grew for the ornamental fish, so did the complications.
Griggy began to build koi ponds and expand his breeding operation on five acres of land he owns on Sugar Creek Road, expecting to keep expanding over the coming years. What he didn’t expect when he started to expand was a knock on his door from Buckeye Pipeline.
The company has pipeline under part of Griggy’s land, and it didn’t take kindly to his digging a fence or building a structure within 25 feet of one side of the pipeline.
Now, Buckeye and Griggy and his wife Helina are entrenched in a “dispute” about the land, the greenhouse Griggy has near the pipeline and what the next step is.
The troubles between Sugar Creek Fishery and Buckeye Pipeline can be traced back to 2010, and then, all the way back to March 1946.
In 1946, previous owners of the land and the pipeline company, which has since changed names, signed an agreement saying the owners granted the company the right to “lay, maintain, operate, repair, replace and remove a pipeline and all necessary fixtures, equipment and appurtenances thereto, over through and across the following described lands.”
The conflict seems to arise when the pipeline gets in the way of Griggy’s business and Griggy’s business gets in the way of repairing the pipeline.
The two parties seem to be at a stalemate as they wait on a quote from a contractor on how much it will cost to relocate the greenhouse currently in violation of the easement.
Meanwhile, the Griggys worry about what will happen to the fish in the greenhouse this winter.
Koi can survive outside in the cold, but the Griggys are diversifying their company and have started to breed tilapia, a species that must stay at 58 degrees or above to survive.
Now, the plan is to move the fish inside the building, where there is limited space, as a stop-gap. But the Griggys can’t go on like that another year, so they’re hoping the dispute is worked out.
So is Martin White, district right of way agent at Buckeye Partners, L.P.
THE OPTIONS
As the two parties work to settle the dispute, White said the pipeline company is considering a few options.
One is that the company pays the cost for the Griggys to move the greenhouse to another location where it won’t conflict with the pipeline. This option is where the contractors and quotes come in.
Griggy is agreeable to this option and said he told the company he will work with them if they move it.
But when Griggy sought out contractor’s quotes, he said White declined them, and the Griggys can’t afford to pay for the relocation.
White said another option is that it’s just moved. Whether Griggy pays for the structure to be moved, it’s just taken down and doesn’t get replaced, “whatever is satisfactory to … the easement,” he said.
A third option is a lawsuit, which Buckeye has threatened. This year, the company sent a complaint to the Griggys, stating years and multiple instances of their easement rights being ignored.
Though the other issues, including Griggy building a fence over the pipeline, have been resolved, the dispute over the greenhouse has been going on since July, Griggy said. Since there’s no sign of it getting fixed before winter, the Griggys are trying to work with what they have until the spring, but they’re not happy about it.
“He doesn’t care about me and my business,” Griggy said of White. “Now we’re set back a whole year.”
The Griggys have already lost $30,000 in tilapia, as they stopped building the greenhouse in July when they were contacted by Buckeye about it.
Though the Griggys don’t have faith in Buckeye, White said the company tries to “accommodate land owner’s use of his or her property as best we can up unto the extent it interferes with our rights.”
Still, Griggy disagrees.
“They try to bully you,” he said.
AGRI- OR AQUA-CULTURE?
Part of the argument circles around what is considered agriculture and what isn’t, as the easement provides for agriculture to abut the pipeline.
Griggy argues his greenhouse counts as agriculture, and that is the way it is categorized by professionals.
White disagrees.
“He is calling aquaculture agriculture,” White said. “There’s a big difference between corn and his structure. We go through lots of corn fields.”
But Laura Tiu, director of the aquaculture extension program at Ohio State University’s South Centers, has a different idea of what agriculture is. She’s visited the farm, the largest koi fishery in Ohio, and said that what the Griggy’s do is agriculture.
“Raising fish is just like raising any other kind of livestock,” she said. “It’s on a farm in a farming condition.”
White admits the definition is not the real issue, the structure is. When it comes to that, each party has an ideal solution in mind, but they don’t seem to jive.
For White, he wants the company to have a “clear, identifiable access way that is provided by the easement that was granted in (1946).”
For Griggy, he wants the company to leave him and his wife alone and said, “It would have been nice to have it done a half a year ago.”
For his wife Helina, it’s a little simpler, at least on the surface.
“I just want to start our aquaponics,” she said.

Maris, beluga whale at Georgia Aquarium, is pregnant
Maris, one of three beluga whales at the Georgia Aquarium, is expecting a baby.
Aquarium officials announced Tuesday that Maris was in her “second trimester” and was definitely showing.
The father is Beethoven, the aquarium’s older male, on breeding loan from SeaWorld.
Assuming she has a successful pregnancy, it would be the second child for the 20-year-old female. Maris carried a baby to term in 2012, but the calf, born with several health problems, survived for only five days.
The gestation period for belugas is 14-15 months, and Maris is due in late April or early May. Dr. Gregory Bossart, senior vice president and chief veterinary officer at the Georgia Aquarium, said Maris demonstrated great mothering skills back in 2012, and he was guardedly optimistic that she would do well this time.
Facilities that exhibit belugas frequently exchange animals to maximize the chances of a successful breeding program. That policy has kept Beethoven busy. He has been moved to the Shedd Aquarium in Chicago, where he will be expected to perform similar duties.
It’s a tough job, but somebody’s gotta do it.

Pest koi carp found in Kaipara
Koi carp are rearing their ugly heads in the Kaipara district and they’re not wanted there or anywhere else.
The pest species, possibly accidentally introduced to New Zealand with goldfish in the 1960s, have been found in farm ponds and rivers in the Kaipara catchment.
Koi carp degrade water quality, cause bank erosion, breed prolifically and out-compete native species like eels and whitebait for food and habitat. To add insult to injury, koi carp don’t taste very good.
Department of Conservation staff have been talking to Kaipara landowners, organising roadside signs and teamed up with the Whitebait Connection to deliver koi carp education programmes in local schools.
Students were invited to design a poster to be displayed in their community, with Tara Moyle from Kaiwaka School winning the competition and receiving an iPad Mini for her efforts.
Sometimes koi carp are intentionally – and illegally – released into ponds to clean out weeds, where they feed like a vacuum cleaner sucking up everything in their way and undermining banks.
In 2012, a north Kaipara farmer contacted the Northland Regional Council (NRC) after finding koi carp in a pond. NRC then got DoC involved.
“We tried netting the fish out, but they hid down in the mud so we had to drain the pond to get them all. There were literally hundreds of them,” Kauri Coast DoC ranger Darren Jones said.
Whitebait Connection also played a part.
“The really scary thing with that particular case was that it was only 200 metres from a river that leads into the Kaipara.
“All it would take was a flood or slip and they’d be in the Kaipara faster than we could blink an eye,” coordinator Kim Jones said.
“We know that sediment is already a problem in the Kaipara Harbour, with recent research showing that it is making snapper mutate to cope with the dirty water.
“We certainly don’t want to make this worse by having koi carp in our waterways.”
Anyone who knows of koi carp in ponds, drains or waterways should contact DoC on 0800 362 468.

Blue Reef Aquarium wants local people to support a big beach clean up on Thursday, October 9 meeting at the aquarium at 11am.
Volunteers will be given bin bags, gloves and a form to record their finds as they clean up the stretch of beach beside the aquarium.
“Hastings Borough Council has kindly agreed to provide us with a selection of litter picking tools and volunteers from Clean Seas Please will also be lending a hand,” said Blue Reef’s Leanna Lawson.
“The plan is to meet up at the aquarium at 11am on the day so everyone can be registered and issued with cleaning items, datasheets and beach clean booklets.
“All the rubbish that we collect on the day will be brought back to the aquarium where it will be separated out and individually itemised. After that we will recycle as much of it as we possibly can while the rest will be disposed of safely in an extra refuse container” she added.
The event has been arranged as part of the Marine Conservation Society’s ‘Great British Beach Clean’ initiative. If you are under 17 and want to take part you will need to be accompanied by an adult. Please wear sensible footwear and clothing.
