Lobsters have special gills that allow them to survive out of water. If they are kept cool and damp, lobsters could probably survive out of water up to a week - but we wouldn't recommend eating them!

A lobster can extract the oxygen from the air, but in order to do this its gills must be kept moist or they will collapse.

Most ova probably survive about six to twelve hours after ovulation. However, for the purposes of contraception, you must count on a 24-hour survival period, plus an additional 24 hours in case there is a multiple ovulation.

It depends. Factors such as water temperature, body fat, clothing, activity level, will to survive, etc., can significantly influence survival time in the water. You can survive longer in cold water if wearing a PFD and using heat retention techniques like the HELP and HUDDLE positions.

Head lice die from lack of food or moisture in about two days if dislodged from a head. They may not live this long if it is very cold or they had not fed before being dislodged. Being dislodged means almost certain death for a head louse so they will avoid this if at all possible. They don't wander on to furniture or clothes very often as this would result in the death of the louse in most cases.

The freshwater lobster or crayfish can be found all over the world. Although they normally do not grow as large as "saltwater" lobsters there is a species in Tasmania called the Giant Freshwater Lobster (Astacapsis gouldi) which can grow up to 1 metre in length. It is one of the largest freshwater invertebrates in the world and is only found in rivers of northern Tasmania.

Sorry, we're going to have to punt on this one. How long to water depends on several factors including your soil type, the water requirements of your plants, your climate and your available water. Knowing how and when to run your drip system is something that only you are in the best position to determine. Keep in mind that hot areas, gardens with sandy soils, and gardens with "thirsty" plants like annuals, veggies and some ornamentals will need longer and/or more frequent run times.

The survival of TASO clients varies greatly depending on the individuals and other factors. Currently TASO has some clients who were registered as early as 1988 but are still doing very well.

In general, enveloped viruses such as coronaviruses do not last a long time in the environment. In earlier studies, a different coronavirus was shown to survive for up to 3 hours on surfaces. At this time, it is uncertain how long the newly discovered coronavirus associated with SARS can survive in the environment. In one preliminary study, researchers in Hong Kong found that both dried and liquid samples of the new coronavirus survived as long as 24 hours in the environment.

Recent studies have shown that HCV can survive outside the body and still transmit infection for 16 hours, but not longer than 4 days.

After experiencing SCA, a victim’s chance of survival without an AED shock decreases by 7 to 10 percent with each passing minute. – American Heart Association

The smallpox virus is fragile. In laboratory experiments, 90% of aerosolized smallpox virus dies within 24 hours; in the presence of ultraviolet (UV) light, this percentage would be even greater. If an aerosol release of smallpox occurs, 90% of virus matter will be inactivated or dissipated in about 24 hours. (added Nov 13, 2002)

The largest lobster we ever shipped was 20" to 24" long and approximately 17 pounds. It was caught here in P.E.I. (where oversized restrictions aren't in place). Picture the width of a kid's lunchbox - which was about the width of that lobster. Larger lobsters can be shipped but the trip is very strenuous on larger, older lobsters.

Preliminary studies in some research laboratories suggest that the virus may survive in the environment for several days. The length of time that the virus survives likely depends on a number of factors. These factors could include the type of material or body fluid containing the virus and various environmental conditions such as temperature or humidity.

Who is a carrier of hepatitis B virus? Sometimes, people who are infected with HBV never recover fully from the infection; they carry the virus and can infect others for the rest of their lives. In the United States, about one million people carry HBV.

In the UK, life expectancy for children has improved and subsequently increased with the development of combination therapy. Today for example, adolescents who acquired HIV at birth have now reached their 20th birthday. Therefore, as treatment and research advances there is hope for a much improved quality of life. There is a small core of children who are "long-term non-progressors" aged between 12-16 who have yet to start on any HIV therapy.

It has come to our attention that a large number of visitors to our site are coming here seeking additional information on the survivability of ants underwater. Please note that we are not ant experts; this entry was put here mainly as a joke. All of our knowledge of ants has come from the old Maxis game SimAnt. If you are seriously seeking information on ants, we advise that you look at the Wikipedia entry for ants.

We are only human and need feeding and watering occasionally. We do request that you make arrangements with your venue to provide us with drinks and a meal during our stay with you.

All the facts regarding DXSynergy point to a long-term road map for GDT Inc. As it currently stands, there are far too many who think DXSynergy is going no where and are quite frankly, scared. As a result, the funds they InXchanged just a few short months ago are now exiting DXSynergy in a panic. I am convinced of the long-term profitability that has been underway for the past six years.

Their resistance to fasting is very big. The fifth stage nymph (previous to the adult stage) survives 6 months without food

I have personally killed released and/or escaped banded birds two years after their freedom. However, habitat, predators, available feed and the availability of water all figure into the equation.

LOBSTER is a pilot European Infrastructure for accurate Internet traffic monitoring. It is based on passive monitoring at speeds starting at 2.5Gbps, and possibly up to 10Gbps. It aims to enhance the European leadership in network monitoring technologies.

Lobsters have specialized gills that allow them to extract oxygen from air as well as in water. A thin film of water coating the gill surface is necessary for oxygen to be extracted by the gills from the air. Lobsters can survive out of water for a number of days, but must be kept cool and damp. It is only when the gills are damp and cool can lobsters extract enough oxygen to survive a prolonged period out of water.

Legionella has been isolated from chlorine treated water. The levels of Legionella that elude the water treatment process are essentially undetectable. When this water travels through the system and loses much of the chlorine residual, either from retention time or warm temperatures in water distribution systems, Legionella can then be cultured. The colonization rate for large buildings is 20-70%, depending on the geographic region. Residential water systems can also harbor Legionella.

When in captivity, sea turtles should be maintained in water with a salinity level falling within a range of that of normal, natural, incoming seawater. Short periods of holding sea turtles in fresh water can be tolerated and are useful when prescribed by a veterinarian, e.g., to remove parasites and fouling epibiota such as barnacles. However, prolonged periods in fresh water should not be encouraged.

NO! Fresh water in any form (even ice) is lethal to a lobster. A lobster has salty blood and tissue, which requires a seawater environment to maintain life.

For bottled water it is a "best before" date, this is because it is not going to become microbiologically unsafe if you exceed the date code. Bottled water is likely to be safe to drink after the date indicated, whereas a dairy product sold after their use by date could be unsafe, however, you should take heed of the date indicated on the bottle. It is not a good idea to store any food or drink, including plastic bottles of water, next to chemicals.

Les: In some ways you can say it's just like fasting for a week which many people do - however when you add in the extremely hard work of building shelters, climbing through thick bush and running cameras 16 hours a day, it goes well beyond a simple fast. Usually by the third day I become quite drained of energy and it takes an awful lot of inner convincing to get up and film the next element of survival.
