Effect of flow and peristaltic mixing on bacterial growth in a gut-like channel.

abstract：:The effective management of marine fisheries is an ongoing challenge at the intersection of biology, economics, and policy. One way in which fish stocks-and their habitats-can be protected is through the establishment of marine reserves, areas that are closed to fishing. Although the potential economic benefits of suc...
