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.
Map Rainbow Trout Range Fast Facts Type: Fish Diet: Carnivore Average life span in the wild: 4 to 6 years Size: 20 to 30 in (51 to 76 cm) Weight: 8 lbs (3.6 kg) Group name: Hover Did you know? The largest rainbow trout on record weighed 57 lbs (25.8 kg) and was estimated to be 11 years old. Size relative to a tea cup: The sperm of rainbow trout contains protamine, which counters the anticoagulant heparin. Protamine was originally isolated from fish sperm, but is now produced synthetically. The rainbow trout is native only to the rivers and lakes of North America, west of the Rocky Mountains, but its value as a hard-fighting game fish and tasty meal has led to its introduction throughout the world.
Abstract: Fishes usually experience a type III survivorship curve, where majoritiy of a cohort’s population die within the first few weeks of life. There is a steep decline of healthy fisheries. Two species of fish, the blue runner and planehead file fish are found in the Sargassum mats of Northern Gulf of Mexico. Sargassum originates in the Sargassum Sea within the North Atlantic Central Gyre. Sargassum provides resources and habitats for many pelagic fishes.
Approximately 95 million years ago, the ancestor of today’s dolphin, the Mesonix, roamed the earth. It was a land animal that went into the water to eat. It had front legs and back legs and was covered with hair. Plenty of the research that has been conducted shows that this is with the Artiodactyl order. It is believed that the ancestors of dolphins that we know today entered the water about 50 million years ago!
The Brown Trout is a non-native species that has been occupying the lakes and bays of Maryland for hundreds of years. This type on non-native spices can be commonly found in most areas of Maryland (i.e. Chesapeake Bay). The brown trout fish of Maryland is a very interesting non-native /exotic species that has appealing and remarkable characteristics. This non-native species was first introduced to Maryland in the late 1800’s from European settlers.
So the two team mates packed enough food for 3 months and off they sailed. About one hundred miles into the journey their boat starts to sink because some of the wood they used got wet and the water started to seep through the wood. Then Raccoon spots an island about 2 miles away so they got on their escape rowboat which in my opinion was good thinking ahead then they made it to the island with some food of course. Then when they arrived on the island they decided to build a camp fire with the one match book they had, after that match they only had 5 more. The next day Raccoon and Frog go their separate ways and told each other to meet
For each level of green crab and replication, I watched the experiment on a 70-week time span. 3. Results & Discussion I HYPOTHESIS THAT AN INCREASE IN GREEN CRAB WILL CAUSE AN INCREASE IN THE CORAL WEED.

Only by a process of trial and error the aquarium came to the conclusion that Orcas have a very specific diet consisting of only some fish and other marine mammals. In Seaworld on April 17th 2014 it was discovered that when one Orca is placed with a foreign Orca, the foreign Orca is able to learn the language of the other orca, (CBS8, 2014) something that was not found out from Orcas in the wild. These are only a few examples of how aquariums and parks such as SeaWorld have contributed to our knowledge of Orcas. With this new found knowledge, over the last 50 years, scientists and marine experts have been able to better help endangered Orcas in the wild.
