The American Paddlefish just recently became the last remaining Paddlefish species. Four other species were declared extinct in 2022 due to habitat loss, pollution, overfishing and dams.
SEA LIFE says that the work, in partnership with United States Fish and Wildlife Gavins Point National Fish Hatchery, included cutting-edge tracking technology and dedicated rehab and relase efforts in Kansas City.
Also, the aquarium taught the Paddlefish their natural filter-feeding techniques by feeding them small mysis shrimp and live baby brine shrimp.

In addition to the release, the aquarium will be hanging onto a small number of the fish until they are two years to fit them with acoustic transmitters. Those transmitters help researchers find where the fish are going and is vital to saving the fish from extinction, SEA LIFE says.
The remaining Paddlefish are currently on display at SEA LIFE Kansas City.

Argentines hooked on watching livestream of Mar del Plata Canyon deep sea exploration
Transparent-faced fish drift through dusky waters. Snowlike flecks of dead plants sift down from the world above. Soft sponges peek through the soot of the seafloor. Only occasional mutters among marine biologists break the thick silence. And somehow, this livestream of sea life in the South Atlantic feels like it has everyone in Argentina watching — or talking and making memes about it. (AP Video: Cristian Kovadloff and Victor R.

The Science-Backed Workout Jason Kelce Is Using to Build Muscle and Lose Fat
The Science-Backed Workout Jason Kelce Is Using to Build Muscle and Lose Fat originally appeared on Men's Fitness. Jason Kelce teamed up with exercise scientist Mike Israetel to transform his physique. After dropping more than 30 pounds, Kelce is entering a new chapter in his fitness journey: bodybuilding. Kelce and Israetel linked up for a YouTube video, where Israetel showed him the ropes guided Kelce through a push-day hypertrophy workout. Kelce explained he still wants to feel big and strong, but no longer wants to carry 295 pounds on his frame. At the time of filming, he said he weighed 266 pounds. His ultimate goal is build muscle while continuing to lose fat. "I would like to preserve the joint health and things that I have left to a certain degree," he says. During the session, he asked Israetel how recovered he should feel between sets during a hypertrophy phase—and how long to rest before moving to the next exercise. "The best answer is whenever you're really ready to do another hard set again, which requires four check boxes to be checked. One is that you're no longer breathing super heavy. The otherone is how do you feel systemically wise? Like do you feel strong?" Israetel answers. The last two boxes to check: making sure your target muscles and synergist muscles have also recovered. Here's the workout Kelce and Israetel pushed Bench Press Sets: 3 Reps: 4-6 Before getting serious weight on the barbell, Kelce completed a couple of warmup sets. Inverted Skull Crusher Sets: 3 Reps: 10-15 on Smith Machine 3 sets 10-15 reps They performed the workout on a Smith machine with no real weight loaded, making it an accessible move you can do at almost any gym.

Kansas City Chiefs OL Trey Smith reflects on health issues before the 2021 NFL Draft
During the latest episode of New Heights, Travis Kelce and his brother Jason welcomed Kansas City Chiefs offensive guard Trey Smith. The Pro Bowl offensive lineman opened up about his battle with blood clots at Tennessee. "One week in conditioning, we were doing half-gassers, and I passed out. I had never passed out. I couldn't breathe well," said Smith, "I lost 13 pounds in a day. I remember talking to our team doctor, 'Hey, you guys gotta run more tests on me; I feel terrible. And he's like, 'We're gonna do a blood draw, just go ahead and go to class." Advertisement After starting at left tackle during his sophomore season, Tennessee's medical staff discovered blood clots in Smith's lungs and ruled him out indefinitely. The issue was identified in February 2018, before the start of spring practice. "They rush me to the hospital and figure out that I have blood clots in both sides of my lungs," said Smith, "So that was sort of one of those moments where it's like, man, can I still play football? Like, what does this mean? And pretty much, I was working with the doctors for five months. (I had to go on) blood thinners." Smith started all ten games in his last collegiate season, earning first-team All-SEC honors for the Volunteers. "So it was a crazy experience. But in my junior year, I was able to play the entire season. Decided to stay at Tennessee, "said Smith, "I made a promise to my deceased mom, Dorsetta Smith, that I would get my degree and play in the NFL one day. So I kept my promise." Advertisement Smith was drafted in the sixth round of the 2021 NFL Draft and has emerged as one of the best offensive linemen in the league.
