Sea nomads have several genetic adaptations that positively affect their ability to dive.

<u>Explanation:</u><u> </u>

Bajau people who are deep sea divers found in parts of south east Asia are called sea nomads. They depend on the sea for a living and have been into diving before man generations. Some special genetic and physiological adaptations have helped sea nomads in diving.

Studies reveal that the Bajau people have an increased spleen size which means that they have  a large reservoir for oxygenated RBCs. This variation has occurred as a result of natural selection  on genetic variants in the PDE10A gene in sea nomads.

BDKRB2 is the gene affecting the diving reflex of humans. Studies have found out that there is a strong selection on the BDKRB2 gene in the Bajau people.

Y_Kistochka [10]

Answer:

Renewable energy resource as an obstacles for the growth of migratory salmon populations: It is now believed that the reduce access to spawning grounds and nursery areas, leading to a decrease in migratory fish populations is due to the dam structures of large storage-type schemes, which can create great obstacles for the movement of migratory fish species.

Explanation:

  • Storage-type schemes ( big dams) can significantly change the downstream flow regime,and may also alter water temperature and quality, and even make it inhabitable for fish to live.
  • As the storage of water can be linked with high evaporative losses, which in turn results in high life cycle water footprints compared to other sources of electricity.

<u>Run-of-river (ROR) schemes are HEP schemes: </u>

They operate without water storage, using the flow within a river channel.They are ecologically friendly and do not disturb the natural mechanism for the migrating salmons.

Working Principle:

They are normally used to regulate water levels, which allows a proportion or part of flow to be diverted down a secondary channel to a turbine before it is returned to the main channel further downstream.

There are some modern turbine types used in ROR HEP(hydroelectric power) schemes, which are also designed to allow fish to pass through the system unharmed if the fish do pass through the intake screens.
