After the narrator left Wakulla Springs, he took a canoe ride on Wacissa and compared the states of Wacissa and Wakulla Springs. Some of the exotic species that are being battled in the Wakulla Springs ecosystem are, and the reason they are being battled are: Anhinga, food source and environment are being depleted. Yellow Crowned Night Herons, food source and environment are being depleted. Purple Gallinules, food source and environment are being depleted. Alligators and they get trapped within the hydrilla.
English Persuasive Essay In light of the recent shark culling issue, it has come to many Australian citizen’s attention that something must be done about this situation. It is a situation of ‘kill or be killed’ and the question must be asked as to which is more important: A human’s life or a shark’s life? Sharks already suffer enough from being slaughtered to be put in Shark Fin Soup or for medical research and should not be culled, as they are such an important part of the natural world we live in. Why else would they have survived for longer than the dinosaurs? It is imperative that we look after these majestic creatures and ensure they remain protected.
The Emperor Angelfish also known as the Imperator Angelfish is usually found in most parts of the Indo- Central Pacific Ocean and in the warmer parts of the Red Sea. They live in areas with rich coral growth Young emperor angelfishes tend to live alone, hiding in reef holes and crevices. In some parts young emperor angelfishes frequent shrimp cleaning stations and would occasionally help shrimps pick off parasites and dead skin from a fish waiting to be cleaned. The emperor angelfish is a carnivore unlike most species of angelfish that are herbivores. Emperor angelfish eats coral heads, small invertebrates like sponges, and crustaceans such as shrimp and shellfish.
Fish find the answer of this mystery and clarify the “Gray’s paradox”. I never thought that how dolphins swim so fast was a mystery. This captured my attention while reading this article. Now I understand the science and mystery behind of something that you see normal and natural in this specie and others every day. It was very interesting to see how the scientist’s get together to find out creative solutions in order to obtain the necessary data to prove their theories.
Chris Chapman Dr. Karen Keane-Hines Anatomy &Physiology II MANATEE Long ago manatees were mistaken for mermaids or sirens-luring sailors to their deaths on rocky shores. So the order of these marine mammals has been named, Sirenia. There are five species: Amazonian, West African, and West Indian with two sub-species the Florida and Antillian Manatee. All have front flippers and a solid, flat, paddle shaped tail. Another related species, the Dugong, has a fluked tail.
The plants release dissolved oxygen and harbor fish and shellfish (Franklin, 2001). They swim in large schools close to the water’s surface. Throughout the spring, the schools of younger, smaller fish are found in estuaries, such as the Chesapeake Bay, and the larger, older fish are found further offshore and up north. Menhaden also play an important role to the fisheries, especially along the Atlantic and Gulf coasts. Humans don’t actually
It reminded Hippocrates of a crab because of its ability to dig in and take hold (Mukherjee , p. 47 ). Even more interesting was how scientists have been trying to cure cancer since the BC time period. When Mukherjee discusses the age of cancer, he refers to the ancient discoveries of Imhotep in 2625 BC. Mukherjee talks about the surprising
The Oceanic White-Tipped Shark is a pelagic shark which means it lives close to the surface and rarely goes to the ocean floor. It is an aggressive slow moving fish that usually will find a carcass of a whale or other large marine animal and dominate the feeding frenzy. It gets its Name white-tipped shark because every fin on the shark has a white tip except the anal fin which has a black tip. They inhabit most of the Salt water of the world because they can live in cold or warm water. Excluding the occasional feeding frenzy, white tips also eat a diet that consists mostly of cephalopods.
Today I went to the New England Aquarium for an amazing lecture: Protecting the Ocean’s Giants: The Future of Manta Ray Conservation. Our lecturer was Joshua Stewart. He introduced what is a manta ray, what is wrong with Manta Ray, and why should we protect them, and so on. After his fantastic presentation, I had a better understanding of the marine animal Manta Ray. Every time when I see or hear the word “ray”, I am thinking of stingray, which has poisonous stings on their tails.
They are coral mining, climate, diseases, tourism, blast fishing, farm runoff, sewage, oil and industrial pollution. Vacationers feel privileged to be able to deep sea dive and get a firsthand look at the incredible biodiversity that the reefs provide. They are unaware of the fact that just by touching the fragile coral, as shown in the photograph; they are damaging its delicate tissue. The coral reefs provide homes for many varieties of plant and animals. Many different kinds of fish live in the reefs as their haven for feeding, reproduction, and safety from predators.
