Daily fish fact #739

Japanese eel!

The life of Japanese eels begins near Mariana Islands, near the coordinates 15°N 140°E, where their breeding grounds are. The young eels, leptocephali, float about for over a year, being carried by the North Equatorial Current and Kuroshio Current. Near land the young eels will have metamorhosed into glass eels, and begin their travel inland from estuaries!

Rio looked up from their laptop to see Sam in the break room.... again. As far as they remembered, this was the fourth time they'd seen Sam walk in here for the coffee machine in the past two hours. The sun had set at least that long ago, and Ed had told them to go home around the same time, but they were so close to fixing the bug in Sverdrup simulating the Kuroshio current. If Rio could fix it, they could show their progress to the rest of the team at the meeting tomorrow. They hoped Ed had gone home, but if he was still around, they didn't want him to know they were still here. Which was why they were hanging out in the break room so late at night.

“That’s, what, your fourth cup of coffee?” they asked Sam.

Sam paused mid-pour, taking a moment to actually calculate what number he was at.

"..Fifth, actually." He shrugged, fixing it up the way he liked it - which he'd find embarrassing in front of anyone else, but he knew Rio by now. He didn't mind them seeing that he actually liked sugar and creamer in his coffee.

"You cant tell him this, but I'm working on all the stuff Mackey overloaded Alan with. It was all important, so I couldn't just get rid of it, and I'm not gonna force everyone else to work double what they already are. So.." he trailed off, sipping his coffee to make sure it tasted right. He offered a polite wave, before heading towards the door.

#side muse: Sam #thanks for the ask!

Liberski/Yoshida —Troubled Water (Totalism)

It’s not always easy to connect instrumental music to the concepts it is theoretically linked to. Beyond track titles and liner notes, with no lyrics to ponder, is this simply a case of burdening the music with unwarranted significance? On Troubled Water Belgian pianist Casimir Liberski and Japanese drummer Tatsuya Yoshida address this by producing a tempest that mirrors the turbulent effects of climate change on ocean currents and marine ecosystems.

Although centered in jazz, the duo draws on elements of classical, electronic and experimental rock during this set of six improvisations recorded live at Tokyo club Jazz Spot Thelonious in early 2023. Liberski’s interest in erasing genre boundaries complements the work of Yoshida, a central figure in the Japanese avant-garde and free-form rock with his long running project Ruins. As a duo they develop a clairvoyant link as their music moves through tumultuous rhythmic patterns and pacific lulls which illustrate rather than explain. Both play with a physicality which demonstrates an elemental connection to their instruments and an awareness of the lengths to which they can push themselves and each other.

Liberski opens “Shark Attack” with his synth producing granular white noise with barely audible sonar like beeps as Yoshida works his cymbals. Liberski shifts to the piano in a danse macabre with Yoshida’s drums. The agitation builds towards frenzy, Yoshida stomps double and triple time on his kick drum and pummels the kit, Liberski races to and fro across the keyboard and interjects thick blurts from the synth. It sounds chaotic but the inevitability of the outcome is clear. The music, like the shark and its prey, has a purpose and will not be denied. “Plastic Island” begins with Liberski’s pensive, almost romantic piano figure behind which Yoshida issues operatic ululations from behind the drums. As they progress, the piano becomes knottier and the drums cluttered and abstract. The pair share percussive and melodic duties, intersecting and diverging, emphasizing the organic, primal nature of rhythm and the intuitive intelligence of their improvisations. The Kuroshio Current is vital to the north Asian climate and the aquatic ecosystem of the region. On the track named for it, the duo is at their most pacific. Liberski’s right hand to the fore, beginning with a slow ascent through the octaves before rolling out delicate glissandos which Yoshida complements on his cymbals. The mood is elegiac and when Yoshida’s ululations reappear it feels like both a lament and a ritual summoning to life. The outro passage of silence punctuated by a distorted synth tones — an alarm, a whale song, sonar — as eloquent as the preceding music.

Black Stream

Here's a story. You can call it a fantasy story: in fact that might be helpful. If you really want to, you can call it sci-fi, but I fear the tropes won't translate as well. Whatever you do, don't read it as history, because if this tale was history, it would be a single line long.

Here goes:

All your life, you've known of the Sacred Metal. It is not gold, nor is it similar to gold; the metal is not sacred because it is pleasant to look upon. No, the metal is sacred because it's useful: harder, sharper, denser, tougher than anything else you know. You (the reader) can call it adamantine, mithril, orichalcum, hihi'irokane: whatever you prefer, as long as it properly confers that this substance is useful, precious, not quite of this world. If anything could cut a ghost, it would be this.

You've seen the metal only once. The people who live three days' north own a little of it, which they have worked into knives and chisels. They told you that they obtained it from a further land still, that one day a star fell from the sky, and its corpse was found to be a cold, gray mass. You don't know if this is true: they seemed to believe that it was. You watched them work, saw the shining blades glide through the toughest material, resolved to one day return bearing all the treasures you would need to purchase a single such knife.

You never got around to it. You're old now, stuck watching the sea with the other elders, talking about days long gone. A few seabirds are silhouetted against the setting sun. Further down the shore, sea lions bark noisily.

Your eyesight is still a little better than the others', so you spot it first.

A rock? No, it's moving: the incoming tide is steadily pushing it towards the shore. A dead whale, perhaps? The size is right, but the shape is not: too angular, too irregular. Driftwood, then? Perhaps, but something...

You wander closer to the shore: the mysterious object seems to have gotten stuck in shallow waters. Others are seeing it too now, running after you with enthusiasm. Slowly wading closer, squinting into the sun, you see the object is wooden, not a seamless whole but a craft (a fragment of one? the edges are splintered), consisting of many planks, held together by-

Befuddled, you begin counting the metal pins, quickly lose track. Hundreds? Thousands? In a fragment? The sheer scale of it is almost nauseating.

The others have caught up with you, yell in amazement as they see what's holding the object together. The more enterprising one of them is already trying to pry it apart. Most, however, simply stand there, reveling in their new wealth.

But you've lost interest. Your eyes are on the horizon, where the sun is setting. You've always assumed there were lands beyond the sea. You think of them, now, too.

But for the first time, the lands imagined look nothing like yours at all.

"Native ironwork in the Northwest Coast has been found in places like the Ozette Indian Village Archeological Site, where iron chisels and knives were discovered. These artifacts [...] were made out of drift iron from Asian (specifically Japanese) shipwrecks, which were swept by the Kuroshio Current towards the coast of North America."

JAPAN—Obama

Established in 1976

“Mermaid Statue: The mermaid legend has long been told in Obama because sirens (dugongs/manatees) from the south sea came here often, following the Kuroshio Current from the south to Wakasa Bay here on the edge of the Sea of Japan. In the legend of Yao Bikuni (or Yao-hime), the woman retained her youth and lived to be 800 years old. The statue was built in this peaceful and beautiful town with the hope of being a utopia of relaxation and longevity. The Kūinji Temple is 400 meters south of here and at the foot of the mountains is a sacred cave where Yao Bikuni was said to live, keeping the legend alive in this area. – Obama City”

Giant Deep Ocean Turbine Trial Offers Hope of Endless Green Power

Tested in one of the world’s strongest ocean currents, a prototype generator could herald the start of a new stream of renewable energy. Power-hungry, fossil-fuel dependent Japan has successfully tested a system that could provide a constant, steady form of renewable energy, regardless of the wind or the sun.

For more than a decade, Japanese heavy machinery maker IHI Corp. has been developing a subsea turbine that harnesses the energy in deep ocean currents and converts it into a steady and reliable source of electricity. The giant machine resembles an airplane, with two counter-rotating turbine fans in place of jets, and a central ‘fuselage’ housing a buoyancy adjustment system. Called Kairyu, the 330-ton prototype is designed to be anchored to the sea floor at a depth of 30-50 meters (100-160 feet).

In commercial production, the plan is to site the turbines in the Kuroshio Current, one of the world’s strongest, which runs along Japan’s eastern coast, and transmit the power via seabed cables.

Scuba diving environment in Ulleungdo Island(yunseo and victoria

By nick,willy,bangamin

Scuba diving environment in Ulleungdo IslandThe reason why Ulleungdo Island is attractive to divers is that it is a beautiful view that explodes cleanly, large fish, and the dynamic thrown by the powerful terrain.

The visibility of 20-30 meters is guaranteed almost all year round, and depending on the season, it's an incredible sight that makes you doubt snow 40 to 50 meters

You will experience it.

Also, on the map, the sea surrounding Ulleungdo Island is perfectly open to the ocean, so there is nothing to prevent the Kuroshio current from advancing northeast from the south through the coastline of the East Sea.

From August to October, you can meet various developed sea life under the strong influence of the Ikuroshio turbulence, and you can also see tropical life moving northward with the ocean current.

#Dokdo is korea land scubadiving in dokdo is very incredible

So meteorologist can have sample collections of the rain end of snow end of the atmosphere. Then they can break down these samples to figure out the chemical content of each. Here, below is how to do a water sample of the rain. Now, this is just to take natural water Samples of lake water or any water source, but rain is a water source.

Here do you see the eastern third of the united states is affected by acid rain. Now, where this asset rain moves is over the Atlantic and towards Europe. Remember the golf pushes up the atmosphere northern. Then you have the jet stream which goes from west to east. So we are not getting acid rain from the east coast. But we can give acid rain to the east coast. So they would be a receiver from everything from the west and remember the pacific is the most polluted ocean in the world. So that means we get rain from the Pacific at certain times of the year.Other times we get it from the Gulf and atlantic. This is what people in california and on the west Coast their rain is very polluted. We get most of our moisture from the gulf which is from the atlantic side which is much better. But we have a problem because the East Coast is dumping unbelievable amount of toxins from their rivers. Cause the rain comes down, goes into their waterways and those waterways go to the Atlantic feeds. The Midwest, mostly with its moisture and so if we don't take care of things on the East Coast we can have a serious problem. The Pacific is not as much of a worry for us. But definitely the atlantic.... And thank God the canal is only one way, but the Panama canal can take ships 2 ways and that's where they make a mistake. Because if we could move goods coming from california through the lock to the atis thick faster to asia. Faster to the East Coast, so a problem with the system. Is we don't have something going from the Pacific to the Atlantic, only from the Atlantic to the Pacific. Is the lock only goes in one direction. So the second lock that is more towards mexico can be the reverse lock so they don't compete. It takes goods from the pacific like this would help hawaii as well. So they can ship out things to the East Coast of America and to Eastern or what you would say.Western europe are east their west..... So that second lacter building they can reverse the direction not going the same way as the panama but going the opposite way from the pacific to the atlantic and this way they don't compete...... So this is better for Latin America than Panama continues to get its revenue.And the new one creates its own revenue ships returning..... So yes we need a new canal going to opposite direction....

Affected areas. Places significantly impacted by acid rain around the globe include most of eastern Europe from Poland northward into Scandinavia, the eastern third of the United States, and southeastern Canada. Other affected areas include the southeastern coast of China and Taiwan.

Acid rain - Wikipedia

The worries from asia is more the water current that goes to the east coast and this is why the pacific is the dirtiest ocean.

Kuroshio Current

Similar to the Gulf Stream in the North Atlantic, the Kuroshio is a powerful western boundary current that transports warm equatorial water

So you'll see with the wave pattern.It moves the top half of the water from asia towards california. And the evaporation from the ocean comes from the top half of the ocean. Now the bottom half runs the opposite way away from California. Yes, the ocean runs the undercurrents.Run the opposite way of the winds.Remember the winds bring the waves in while when they wash in they wash back out. So when the water reaches California, it turns around and heads back. So depending on the particle weight of the matter going into the ocean. And atomic particles are very light. This is my nuclear waste from japan ended up in california. And so the fish that are at the higher level eat the nuclear waste. Now whatever california is dumping into the heavier particles come back towards california and end up going and polluting the atmosphere of california and going westward. But the heavier particles that go deeper into the water those go eastward. So we're both playing a role in hurting each other. It just depends on the type of waste that's being dumped and who's getting more of what type of pollution....

This is why I tell you.You have to go down in the ocean and grab the sediment samples at the bottom of the ocean. This is what's heading back towards asia from the united states. And if any of the shipping Is dumping heavy waste while that waste is going back towards asia ... It will initially move westward until it gets deep enough and then it will move back eastward. Remember this was the problem with finding the plane.They don't understand at different levels.The current moves at different directions. So yes there's a middle park that's moving and it's own direction as well.

The direction of an undercurrent is typically opposite to that of surface currents, and the strength of the undercurrent varies, depending on the situation and the circumstances.

THE POWER OF UNDERCURRENTS

How does the ocean change with depth?

Conditions in the ocean change with depth: pressure increases; temperature and light decrease; salinity, oxygen, and micronutrients all change as well. There are five different Pelagic layers encompassing all open waters beyond the coastal regions.

So the high tide and low tide affects the speed of the undertow of the water of the ocean.....

How many times does the depth of the ocean water change per day?

Because the Earth rotates through two tidal “bulges” every lunar day, coastal areas experience two high and two low tides every 24 hours and 50 minutes. High tides occur 12 hours and 25 minutes apart. It takes six hours and 12.5 minutes for the water at the shore to go from high to low, or from low to high.

Ocean water moves in horizontal and vertical directions, so it's turning. So, yes, it does bring up matter from the bottom of the ocean.

Historical Climate and Climate Trends in the Midwestern USA

by J Andresen · Cited by 167 — Average summer rainfall exceeds 12 inches across

So if you see the area of tornado ally from the coast of Texas and then upward, this is the jet stream movement through the United States, which is very valuable to us in the Midwest.It protects us both from the east coast and the west coast. But if texas and others are polluting like in mexico are polluting into the gulf heavily then we're screwed..... So Is protecting the gulf is very vital for the midwest of the united states.... So remember our rivers flow into the Gulf.And so what we do with our rivers affects us because what goes out comes back.... So if we don't make sure our rivers and waterways flowing in like the Mississippi into the Gulf. Are good nutritional, healthy pollutant. Free water, then we're f***** in the Midwest. So that means from texas all the way up to canada because they get snowfall in their midwestern from the gulf as well. Yes, warm dry warm.I should say cold dryer comes down and then it meets the water from the Gulf.A gulf goes all the way up into canada and beyond actually.... So depending on the gulf depends on snowfall up north..... So as we've been polluting the Gulf, we've been devastating our ecological climate in the Midwest.All the way up and this leads all the way up obviously the north pole or arctica.....

The current flows northward into the Gulf of Mexico, then loops southeastward just south of the Florida Keys (where it is called the Florida Current), and then just west of the westernmost Bahamas. Here, the waters of the Loop Current flow northward along the U.S. coast and become the Gulf Stream.
