Most jelly fish are dangerous as they sting other creatures, when touched by one of their tentacles. Clown fish are immune to stings thus why Marlin wasn’t affected. 14. Compare Dory, Bruce and Nemo, which is the best adapted for speed and why? Bruce is best adapted for speed, as he is a shark and needs to be fast to catch and hunt down his prey.
The Northern Snakehead can survive up to four days out of water and can grow up to 33 inches long. The species has been nicknamed “Frankenfish” due to its shark-like teeth and aggressiveness. It was first introduced in a pond in Crofton, Maryland in June 2002. Researchers believe the species ended up in the U.S. due to uncaring disposal of aquarium pets. Other researchers think some people were trying to breed Snakeheads as they bring a large amount of money in some areas.
They have been known to feed on fish, dolphins, whales and seals. Sharks prefer meals with a high fat content to give them energy. They are ambush hunters, taking their prey by surprise from underneath. They have been known to come up from the bottom so fast that their entire body has left the water. The Great White has only one natural predator, the orca.
They accomplish this by feeding on algae and bacteria. 8 Species of mussels are native to the river. The most prevalent are the eastern elliptio mussel and the eastern lamp-mussel. Mussels are eaten by a variety of birds, turtles, fish, muskrats and other mammals. Zebra Mussels are an invasive species that can cause harm to native species by attaching themselves to their shells preventing free movement and can even cut off their oxygen
Some fish, though, such as Hawkfish, Lionfish, and some predatory shrimp and crabs may eat the Scarlet Skunk Cleaner Shrimp. It will not tolerate copper or high levels of nitrates in the aquarium, but will require correct levels of iodine in the water to promote proper
Pestering, tormenting and throwing food to gators is usually the root cause. So if you’re planning a swim in fresh water, hoping for a spot of riverbank fishing or dangling your feet over the side of a kayak, be very, very
Quotas should be set on catches, based on scientific estimates for the size of the fish stock (Collins, 1997). Making the public more aware could be another way to help protect these species. Many people probably don’t even know what a menhaden is, or how important they are in the human food chain. These fish are prey for many bigger game fish, such as bass and bluefish. People tend to preserve things they have a better understanding
One amazing species (Birgus latro) can climb coconut trees, cut a coconut loose, and can make a hole in a coconut so it can eat the inside! (I'm not making this up!) They do all have to return to the water to reproduce however. Did you know that hermit crabs are not considered true crabs? Two big differences are seen in the legs and the antenna.
The guppy generally lives three to five years and they are extremely colorful, with patterns found on their fins. The guppy has many natural predators because of their small size but mainly because of their bright colors and fins often attract unwanted attention. Some of the guppies predators are has the Rivulus, Acara, and Cichlid fishes. The guppy is an omnivorous animal and eats a wide range of organic matter that is available in the water. The guppy mainly feeds on algae and brine shrimp, and often eat particles of food from the water that have been left by a larger fish.
Dr Carl Meyer from Hawaii Institute of Marine Biology stated that mass levels of shark culling “runs the risk of ecosystem-level cascade effects where a general lack of sharks results in boom or bust in populations of species further down the food chain”. Furthermore when nets are used to trap sharks, often animals such as dolphins, turtles, whales and dugongs become trapped in them. Turtles are one of the most endangered species as a whole and are just innocent bystanders in this war between humans and sharks. We need to be careful of not affecting other animals in this quest to reduce shark numbers in the name of nothing. Sharks can already be caught legally by commercial and recreational fishers so any cull would be largely
