Habs is an abbreviation of "les habitants," the informal name given to the original settlers of New France, dating back to the 17th Century. So it's a natural fit for the The Montreal Canadiens, established in 1909 and marketed as a French-Canadian hockey team.
Having said that, the nickname might have been the result of an error. According to NHL.com, the first man to refer to the team as "the Habs" was Tex Rickard, owner of Madison Square Garden, in 1924. Rickard apparently told a reporter that the "H" on the Canadiens' sweaters was for "Habitants." Not true. The distinctive C-wrapped-around-H logo stands for "Club de Hockey Canadien."

How are transgenic organisms useful in medicine and agriculture?
Transgenic organisms could be used to make a new type of protein. For example, give a bacteria a new gene. The bacteria can then make the protein coded by the new gene. The protein may end being something such as human insulin or some other protein the bacteria don't normally produce. Your welcome Habs 13
What is the of population explosion of dinoflagellates?
Population explosions of dinoflagellates, also known as harmful algal blooms (HABs), occur when these single-celled organisms rapidly reproduce due to favorable environmental conditions like warm water and nutrient availability. These blooms can have negative impacts on marine ecosystems, leading to fish kills, shellfish poisoning, and oxygen depletion in the water. Monitoring and understanding the factors that contribute to dinoflagellate population explosions are critical for managing and mitigating their harmful effects.
