Waxing Gemini moon partially in cancer.

Today is a good day for planting flower and leaf plants. It is not a good day for watering, plants watered today likely attract pests soon. Run flat type ventilation longer, and do greenhouse and household dusting today easier without water. Sow and plant herbs today.

Continue to sow through Thursday.

Nutrient uptake is elevated today. Focus on diet, and topical nutrition. Wash and color hair today. Massage, and use oils.

Today is a day of getting it done, getting it in, and getting connected to goodness.

Ω European eel migration and possible migratory guidance from lunar cycles.

⬤ NEW MOON ¦ Links between the lunar cycle and the life cycle (migration patterns, locomotor activity, pulses in recruitment) of the European eel (Anguilla anguilla) are well documented.

The European eel (Anguilla anguilla) undertakes a long-distance migration of greater than 5000 km twice during its life, from the spawning areas in the Sargasso Sea to the European coast and back.

 

Diagram of the electrical disturbance of the moon to the Earth’s surface (modified from Bevington, [A]).

At the new moon, the moon faces the bright side of the Earth (moon above the horizon during the daytime) and the solar wind impacts the moon.

This creates an umbra and a penumbra, which are shadows of the moon body carrying negative electric charges to the Earth’s surface. (b) at the full moon, the moon faces the dark side of the Earth (moon above the horizon at nighttime).

Following its orbit, the moon impacts the Earth’s magnetotail and creates an electric disturbance of positive charges propagating towards the Earth’s surface.

The behavior of the glass eels showed the strongest lunar-related patterns in orientation only when the moon was invisible to them (at the new moon during the daytime).

Therefore, the mechanism involved in the detection of the moon azimuth during the day cannot be visual.

⬤ The moon’s gravitational pull (1). and the change in electric flux caused by the moon (2). represent two other possible mechanisms explaining glass eel orientation towards the moon azimuth. [1]

 

Ω Goldlined spinefoot fish evaluated for lunar dictation, a cycle gean and/or internal clock mechanism.

Goldlined spinefoot, Siganus guttatus, inhabits tropical and subtropical waters and synchronizes its spawning around the first quarter moon likely using an hourglass-like lunar timer.

Most organisms exhibit biological rhythms by synchronizing their behavioral and physiological activities with cyclic changes in the environment. Among these rhythms of diverged period lengths, circadian rhythms are widely observed.

 

 

To investigate whether the core clock genes show lunar phase-dependent variation and whether those changes might continue in the absence of moonlight cues, rearing tanks were either repeatedly covered with a black sheet during nighttime to interrupt the moonlight (moonlight-interrupted; MI) or were exposed to natural moonlight conditions (moonlight-exposed; ME) for 2 lunar cycles.

The daily expression  (above) profiles of Cry genes in the diencephalon of the Goldline spine foot after interrupted moonlight for 1 lunar cycle.

Curves indicate significant rhythmicities detected by Cosinor analysis, while lines indicate no significant rhythmicity

The present study along with our previous studies provides an insight that Cry3 of the Goldlined spinefoot could be an internal signal for recognizing the external lunar phase. Cry3 might be involved in forming a putative hourglass-type lunar timer that regulates spawning associated with the lunar cycle in the Goldlined spinefoot. However, we cannot rule out the possibility that the moonlight-dependent changes in clock gene expression in the diencephalon might be due to systemic changes such as oocyte development or sexual maturation that is initiated by FM light. Also, it is still possible that the Goldlined spinefoot might have a self-sustainable circalunar clock that is rather independent of the circadian clock as shown previously. [2, A]

 

Ω Does the Lunar Cycle Influence Angler Catch of Muskellunge (Esox masquinongy)?

Angling catch records were analyzed for 341,959 muskellunge (Esox masquinongy) from North America to test for a cyclic lunar influence on the catch.

Using periodic regression, we showed that the number caught was strongly related to the 29-day lunar cycle, and the effect was consistent across most fisheries.

Studies of the effects of the moon on fish behavior have shown that fish spawning [A,B], vertical and horizontal movement [C,D], activity [E], feeding [F], migration [G,H], activity [I], feeding [J,K], and vulnerability to commercial [L,M] or recreational fishing [N,O] may be synchronized to lunar cycles.

The idea that fish-feeding behavior is related to the phases of the moon was popularized, if not quite quantified, by John Alden Knight in 1936 with the publication of his “Solunar” tables [P]. Solunar tables predict days and hours of increased fish and wildlife activity−times when the likelihood of fishing and hunting success is increased. The Solunar effect is due in part to the influences of the sun and moon, which are greatest when they are aligned, as at the time of the full and new moon.

We have shown, however, that angler catch of muskellunge is strongly related to the lunar cycle. This occurs, at least in part, because muskellunge feeding behavior is synchronized with the lunar cycle – that the observed patterns in angler catch do not simply reflect biased (non-random) angler effort. We have noted several sources of variation in the lunar pattern including, latitude, time of day, month, and fish size that seem to us evidence of biological mediation of the lunar effect. [3]
