does not affect the kelp because the petroleum

We have one koi and about 14 fish that are
comets or goldfish in a swimming pool converted
to a pond. They are about 5 inches or so long at
about 1 year of age. Very robust and active. Four
of them are basically white. Of the four, two
have some deep orange spots naturally on them. I
just noticed today that the white on the fish is
turning a washed out yellow/orange color. They
were seemingly pure white before. Now fins and
head particularly are turning organish. I'm
worried about their health. One website that
sells koi food says this is due to liver
function. Can that be correct? If so, what do we
change? We are feeding Tetramin and a special
We are in Hawaii so the
temperature is in the 80's. Full sunlight on the
pool. The pool is about 15,000 gallons with deep
areas at 8' on one end. The water is not
filtered, aerated or treated in any other way and
is very green as my husband is under the
impression that it is a large enough body of
water to not need extra care. We have two water
hyacinth plants in with them. The fish eat the
fish food, algae and bugs that fall into the
water. The comets/goldfish we bought were sold as

they were only a few inches. They are now robust
in girth, about 5 long in the body and very

The theory goes that mutation is the raw material for evolution. Existing sequences of DNA, some of which codes for functional proteins, other sections dont, have random changes in their nucleotide sequence over time, that may persist and dawn reproductive advantage onto carriers of that gene.
I know that changes in the nucleotide sequences of the same gene have been observed across species, like in the genes that code for polypeptides in cytochrome C and hemoglobin. Based on this evidence a sort of evolutionary time line can be developed to show how far back organisms diverged from a common ancestor by comparing the numbers of differences in nucleotide sequence. In the study of genomes thus far, is there any evidence that suggests a related sequence of nucleotides that result in different functional proteins? Not all organisms have the same proteins, so wouldnt we expect to find that when we find a novel protein on the evolutionary tree, that the nucleotide sequence that codes for that protein would be analogous or similar to a the sequence for a different functional protein? I havent come across anything on this front and was wondering what the experts know. Thanks and I hope you have lots to be thankful for! Sincerely, Bret Klopfenstein Ventura HS

I wonder this because how else could inanimate
material come alive, and I once read that the
Earth is alive itself, leading me to believe that
Earth could have been the first producer. I still
wonder how the Earth would have come alive itself,
but I theorize the electrical forces of atoms and
specific molecules pulling or pushing themselves
together or apart, as well as the natural movement
of heated atoms, along with the already present
forces of Earth's spin and movement produced by
the big bang could have caused the inanimate Earth
to begin "come alive." The original moving up of
iron (or whatever element was attracted to
another) from inside Earth could have led to a
chain of reactions that led to more chains of
reactions, and so forth, so that a never-ending
push and pull were then created via the original
electrical attractions. I realize this is a
complex idea and a far-fetched question, but I
found your website and thought I'd ask. Thanks

ability to think come from? |
|461: || If humans can't see air, can fish see water? |
|462: ||Do whales and dolphins fish? |
|463: ||Fish gills collapse in air, so they do not have as
much surface area exposed to absorb
oxygen. However, air has a much higher
concentration of oxygen. So, can fish gills
continue to absorb oxygen through the parts of the
gills that are exposed to air? This is an
important question because many fishermen like to
catch fish and then release them. However,
fishermen have to remove the hook, which is often,
not always, easier when the fish is out of the
water, and then the fisherman may want to take a
photo of the fish out of the water before
returning it to the water. During the hook
removal and before the fish is photographed, the
fish could be dipped in the water to wet the fish
and his gills. This might also aid in oxygen
absorption and in reducing stress on the fish.
So, as long as the gills are wet, can a fish
absorb enough oxygen from the air to not suffer
undue stress before release? |

|465: ||Are dolphins' brains more capable of doing
complex problems and solve ideas compared to other
species on land and water? I know that dolphins
have a bigger brain (1600 grams compared to 1300
grams from other species), but does that mean they
are more complex and more intelligent overall
compared to other species?

know that at first they were cells, but how were
they so much that turned them into animals, and
then into humans? I wonder. How many cells would
that take? I wonder.. how much time does it take
to create a living being? |

species and or humans? I'm asking this question
because I know that dolphins have a bigger brain
and use echolocation which is advanced compared to
other species. I also want to know why humans and
only humans are the only living animal that has
been able to speak and live and thrive in this world. |

infrastructures (like our brain) as per we know
evolution has been occurred to every species, then
why not the cats or dogs are able to develop this

than humans any species has a developed brain as
we have? |
