When assets are at their worst, that’s when we are at their happiest.” The Micro Cap Activist Fund (MCAF), run by Mr Iafrate’s Melbourne-based company Armytage Private, was set up after commissioning a financial services empire to target small-medium-priced finance. The fund is one of the top return equity funds of the past three years according to Morningstar data thanks to the busy M & Activities among small financial services companies and have received 10 takeovers since 2019. The list includes Hub24’s bid for rival Xplore Wealth, Apex Group’s acquisition of Mainstream Group, 360 Capital’s deal with Evans Dixon, and Iress games for OneVue.

The World's Largest Shark Wasn't Actually A Carnivore, Scientists Find

The largest shark in our oceans already has a reputation for being gentle giants, and it seems there are more than we ever realized. whale shark ( Typhoid rhino ) is a filter feeder, considered carefully combing the water for small animals such as krill. Among the litany of small swimmers they take are leafy greens made up of algae and other photosynthetic organisms. It’s unavoidable, but researchers wonder if this vegetation is just a garnish for carnivores, or if it provides the side salad needed to keep them swimming. Researchers examining dirt and skin samples identified what these 10-meter (32-foot) long sea hoovers were actually taking advantage of from the giant pool of water they breathed through their system. “The droppings suggest that they ate krill,” said University of Tasmania marine biologist Patti Virtue. “But they don’t metabolize much.” In contrast, whale sharks, which are true sharks with cartilage instead of bones, seem to extract nutrients from a lot of algae. “Th

Two-thirds of the fish that Australians eat is wasted. After the fillets are removed, the remainder is usually discarded. The poor recovery had an impact on prices. “You pay for a whole fish but only really eat a third, but all the parts of the fish actually have enormous value, like the head, tail, skin,” said Patrick Hone, managing director of the Fisheries Research and Development Corporation. The chef slowly started using more fish, including their offal. Delicious waste The beef, lamb, pork and chicken industries had much higher recovery rates, ranging from over 50 percent to the 70s, but why is seafood recovery so low? “Seafood offal is a completely unexplored area,” says chef Danielle Dixon.

Marine fertility: Researchers study how nutrients get to the bottom of the food web

Credit: Public Domain CC0 Almost all marine life—fish, turtles, sharks, whales, and more—depends on marine food webs for survival. However, the foundation of this enormous flow of energy lies on the shoulders of the microscopic but mighty phytoplankton. Without essential nutrients such as phosphorus, the growth of these tiny floating marine plants is limited, and the effects of such restrictions flow through the ecosystem, impacting the abundance and diversity of marine creatures. A team of Florida State University and New Hampshire University researchers have published a new study looking at how one important source of the nutrient, dissolved organic phosphorus, is distributed across the global ocean surface where it is consumed by phytoplankton. The work was published today in Natural Geoscience . All living organisms, including phytoplankton, need phosphorus to synthesize DNA, RNA and other important organic compounds. In addition
