The movement of the hard drive's read/write heads over different areas of the disk when accessing fragmented files is slower, compared to accessing the entire contents of a non-fragmented file sequentially without moving the read/write heads to seek other fragments.
The giant oceanic manta ray can grow to a disc size of up to 7 m (23 ft) with a weight of about 1,350 kg (2,980 lb) but average size commonly observed is 4.5 m (15 ft). It is dorsoventrally flattened and has large, triangular pectoral fins on either side of the disc.
The price of a manta ray in fish markets in Sri Lanka and Indonesia ranged from $40 to $200. âAs the worldâs largest archipelagic nation, it is important for Indonesia to maximize economic returns from our marine resources,â said Sharif Sutardjo, Indonesiaâs minister of marine affairs and fisheries, in a statement.
