Because of this factor cuttlefish have adapted to the seafloor in shallow marine waters as their habitat. The most stunning feature of cuttlefish is their skin. It has the ability to change color in both degree and kind, making it easily surpass
Shark Cull POV Shark Cull POV Good afternoon everybody I’m here to talk about how shark culling is effecting the environment and how it is affecting other species in the marine life. Shark culling not only endangers other marine species, but it also targets endangered shark species and the number of sharks are continuously reducing. Netting for example is an unreliable source of culling sharks as it not only affects sharks, but also affects other species which is not healthy for the marine economy. By culling sharks they are preventing sharks from producing in numbers and increase endangered species. Not only does culling affect the sharks it also strikes the eco system of coral and reefs.
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.
deep) off the coasts of the Gulf of Mexico all the way down to Brazil, in the Amazonian River Basins, around the islands of Cuba, Haiti and Puerto Rico, as well as along the central west and east coasts of Africa, up the Nile and down to Madagascar. The West Indian/Florida manatees currently inhabit the warm sub-tropical waters along the coast of Florida (as far north as the Carolinas and west along the coast of Louisiana and Texas). Though their range is quite large, manatees today exist in only a few small populations due to centuries of hunting them for meat and hides, coastal development and boating, and environmental changes. It is currently estimated that there are only about 2,200 manatees remaining in the US. They have no natural enemies except man and power boats which are responsible for most manatee deaths- (in 1990, 218 manatees or 12 % of the total population were killed by boats), though the red tide (toxins released from the bloom of dinoflagellates) of 1982 and1996 killed over 15% of the population.
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
Unique, unlike any other, the Galapagos Islands prove to be remarkable and worthwhile of exploring in great detail. The Galapagos Islands are not only beautiful, but also consists of some very important features, not found in a similar way in other parts of the world. It seems that all that inhabits the islands affect one another, both alive and inanimate. According to the film, a large part of the reason for why there is such huge diversity on the islands is due to the fact that the Galapagos Islands are located in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. This location is what contributes to the mystifying marine life, as well as the to the different animals living on land.
Previously, it was taught that upwelling as physical processes causes the cycling of nutrients in the ocean. This process is essential to life, as these nutrients are needed to sustain life. However, tiny sea animals have been overlooked in the past. These mini “monkeys” have a monstrous impact of the cycling and moving of nutrients in the oceans. A study on this topic was done to explore how much of an impact these tiny animals have on the ocean currents as they travel in masses.
Some manta rays live in a particular location while others travel from places to places. Manta rays are filter feeders. They consume a large quantity of zooplankton by filter seawater through their mouths while swimming. And usually many manta rays swim in lines with their mouths open to filter more zooplankton. Manta rays are huge in size so only sharks and killer whales can harm them and eat them.
So you may be asking yourself, how does this apply to the bull shark? The answer is that the bull shark over time has adapted its body to be able to control the amount of salt that its body gets rid of allowing it to live in waters of different salinities. Marine organisms have a high level of salt in their body so that the sea doesn’t dehydrate them because it is a hypertonic solution. Due to the fact that sharks can increase or decrease the content of salt in their blood allows them not to take in too much water when they migrate into freshwaters. Sharks are known to be fierce predators of the sea, and with the capability to venture into freshwater it makes their hunting grounds very vast.
Many don’t realize that they provide humans with a source of income and more importantly, life for a wide diversity of marine animals. By 2050, there is a possibility that the coral reefs might die out if their habitats continue to worsen (Trinh, 2012). This paper reviews information on what coral reefs are, the importance of coral reefs, information on the Florida Keys and Caribbean, explains the problems they face, and how coral reefs can be helped. INTRODUCTION Coral reefs, one of the most diverse ecosystems, provide life to a variety of marine animals (Coral Reef Protection, 2012). Reefs have been called the “rainforests of the sea,” because they provide homes to numerous marine animals (Trinh, 2012).
