Conservation (Indigenous Freshwater Fish) Amendment Bill 2018 (87-1) (Hon Eugenie Sage)
To snag the particular problem, to untie the knot, to sort it out—this is what this bill aims to do. In fact, for all the cries from the Opposition side of the House that there was no detail in this bill, I tell you, Mr Assistant Speaker, that in fact there is a lot of detail in this bill, and it tries to sort out some very specific problems. If we look at clause 5 of the bill, something that it makes very clear is that sports fishing will be permitted, but not at the expense of freshwater fish.
So in other words, there's a balancing of provisions there. Clause 5 amends a particular definition. It inserts a provision saying that where there is a provision in a freshwater fisheries management plan and a provision in a sports fish and game management plan, then the provision in the freshwater fish management plan prevails.

It's a really straightforward ordering rule, there. What it is doing is it is making it very, very clear that a person can take indigenous fish from a fishery if it is taken primarily for food consumption, including for sale of food, and it can be taken if the fish are taken in a manner that does not lead to their injury or death. So it does allow for sports fishing, provided that those fish are returned to the waters as soon as practicable after being taken.
That sort of detail is present in this bill. If we want to have a look at some of the real detail that's in here, if we go to clause 13 of the bill, it replaces section 26ZP 1 to 3 about closed seasons. Instead of having a closed season that may be imposed for any length of time, it limits those closed seasons to five years. That's the kind of detail that has been put into this bill by the very careful and conscientious Minister of Conservation.
Then, suddenly the sailfish swung their bill back and forth, very sharply—strong enough to catch the sardines off guard. Some of the sardines were stunned by the blows, others were cut.
That allowed the sailfish to grab their prey and gulp them down. The video also showed that the sailfish sometimes used another technique to catch a sardine—after inserting their bill they would single out an individual target by tapping it enough to cause it to be extracted from the school—that made it easy to grab and swallow.

Using high-speed video-analysis, we show that i sailfish manage to insert their bill into sardine schools without eliciting an evasive response and ii subsequently use their bill to either tap on individual prey targets or to slash through the school with powerful lateral motions characterized by one of the highest accelerations ever recorded in an aquatic vertebrate. Our results demonstrate that the combination of stealth and rapid motion make the sailfish bill an extremely effective feeding adaptation for capturing schooling prey.
With gene expression analysis growing in importance for both basic researchers and medical practitioners, researchers at Carnegie Mellon University and the University of Maryland have developed a new computational method Thresher sharks hunt schooling sardines in the waters off a small coral island in the Philippines by rapidly slapping their tails hard enough to stun or kill several of the smaller fish at once, according to research published AP —The "1 percent" is often used to disparage the American elites at the very top of the wealth scale. When it comes to smartphones, however, the "1 percent" is the bottom of the heap.
Research published in the Royal Society Journal, Interface, has demonstrated that predatory fish sneak up on lightning-fast prey by disguising water disturbances as they approach. A group of ex-Nokia employees who quit over the company's decision to abandon the planned MeeGo operating system in favour of Windows presented their own smartphone on Monday, hoping to rival the sector's giants.

Microbes in, on and around the planet are said to outnumber the stars in the Milky Way Galaxy. The total number of viruses is expected to vastly exceed even that calculation. Zebrafish aren't just surrounded by liquid, but turn liquid—in part—during their development.
