Alien slugs

16.10.2025, Tallinn. Due to increased plant trade and exchange, alien species that can cause damage to local plants and animals and are troublesome pests for gardeners have reached Estonia. Alongside plants, alien slug species have made themselves at home, of whom the Spanish slug and Krynickillus melanocephalus present the highest threat. Photo Eero VabamÃ¤gi, Postimees

CHINA-HAINAN-SANYA-MARINE RANCH-DEVELOPMENT (CN)

(240521) -- SANYA(HAINAN), May 21, 2024 (Xinhua) -- A sea slug is pictured in the Wuzhizhou Island's marine ranch in Sanya, south China's Hainan Province, May 16, 2024. Wuzhizhou Island's marine ranch, China's first tropical marine ranch, has made remarkable strides in marine ecological restoration and fishery resource conservation. Artificial reefs are utilized worldwide to enhance ocean ecology, by creating additional habitats for local aquatic organisms and fish. As of April 2024, the marine ranch has deployed approximately 80,000 cubic meters of artificial reefs and ship-reefs. These efforts have created a thriving marine ecosystem, complete with coral reefs, fish, shrimp and shellfish. Statistics reveal that over 51,000 corals have been successfully transplanted in the waters around Wuzhizhou Island. The area is now home to more than 300 species of coral reef fish, showcasing the rich biodiversity that has been nurtured through these conservation efforts. (Xinhua/Yang Guanyu)

Cnooc "Deep Sea One" Completed

QINGDAO, CHINA - FEBRUARY 1, 2024 - The land construction of the integrated treatment platform of the second phase of the Deep-sea One project is completed in the West Coast New Area of Qingdao, in Qingdao, Shandong province, China, February 1, 2024. According to reports, the platform applies 7 megawatt gas turbine generator sets and other sets of domestic equipment with completely independent intellectual property rights, equipped with the largest domestic offshore platform slug flow catcher designed by CNOOC, which is used to eliminate the risk of liquid level fluctuations and blockage of oil and gas mixed transport pipelines, and ensure the reliable operation of oil and gas treatment equipment. The deep-sea No. 1 ultra-deep water gas field, which was put into operation in June 2021, has proven geological reserves of over 100 billion cubic meters, with a maximum water depth of more than 1,500 meters and a maximum well depth of more than 4,000 meters, making it the deepest and most difficult offshore ultra-d
