Acupuncture is an alternative medicine that uses wire-thin needles inserted by a trained practitioner into specific points in th

e body. This ancient form of pain relief and stimulation is said to benefit patients by blocking channels which practitioners claim allow pain to travel within the body. This practice became more widely recognized and used after a New York Times reporter wrote in 1971 of a positive experience with it after surgery.
Those who doubt the effectiveness of this treatment for pain attribute the pain relief to a placebo effect: if a patient believes something will reduce their pain, they will experience some relief. The National Institutes of Health says that acupuncture relieves pain and reduces nausea and vomiting, although it is unclear how it works. The few adverse effects reported are due to improperly sterilized needles or improper delivery, making this still a fairly low risk option. For anyone considering acupuncture, they should first research its effectiveness for their specific condition.

Habitat loss and degradation, disease outbreak, invasive species, pollution, over‐exploitation/overfishing, and climate change are notable problems experienced by freshwater and marine fishes.

Anthropogenic activities and stressors that rapidly threaten freshwater and marine fishes are curbed through legislation and other means to prevent extinction of fishes.

Through conservation programs that plans for individual species to more species of entire faunas of a particular location also boost population size and prevent hunting of threatened or endangered species in both realms.

Overtime, genetically modified fishes which can develop resistance to diseases are introduced to the realm.

Moreso, waste channels through which pollutants gets into the water bodies are well-treated for safety of fishes.

Echolocation is a method used by bats, dolphins and other animals to select the location of objects using reflected sound. This allows the animals to move around in pitch darkness, so they can guide, hunt, identify friends and enemies, and avoid obstacles.

Thus, bats and dolphins are two animals that use echolocation.
