1. Introduction & Hypothesis Introduction: In conducting research I observed stimulation on a tide pool off the Washington State coast in the 1960’s. As the coast became more ecologically populated as the years went on, the competitiveness of species became very tough. (Keystone Predator Workbook) Since I enjoy being on the coast and observing the different kinds of algae and species I thought I would look closer into studying about them. While I was doing research, I identified the species I found.
There being brush and a steep bank with boulders for the bass to hide and feed. We started by casting crank baits that would swim right pass the cover to trigger that hunger strike from a bass. It wasn’t long before I heard my partner yell “Get the net this is a salty headed dog” for some reason they called their big bass salty headed dogs. I grabbed the net and scooped up a nice 4 lb bass “Way to go partner” as I replied when I seen the size of the fish. I continued to cast at the bank making long cast for a deeper run of the crank bait.
The sea urchins are used by Biologists to unlock the mysteries of human diseases such as cancer. When you compare humans to sea urchins, quite a few amino acid
It’s home to a variety of fish species, including sockeye salmon and steelhead, and it offers the best fly fishing for coastal cutthroat, which enter the lake from the Ozette River that flows into the Pacific at Cape Alava. Note that because the lake is broad, shallow and near the ocean, it can get a bit wild once the wind kicks in. Be careful! Quinault Lake If Dolly Varden are what you’re after, Quinault Lake might be the place to be, because it’s one of the few lakes in the state where it's legal to keep one. Like Lake Crescent, Quinault Lake features a resort and boat ramp if you’re looking for a comfortable destination to base your outings from.
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
The native plants Kelp is important because it provides shelter and food for a lot of sea creatures. Kelp is also used by humans for many products, including toothpaste and ice cream. Kelp also serves as a buffer by absorbing energy from waves before the waves hit the shoreline, protecting many of the sandy beaches along the California coast. Phytoplankton is tiny plant that serves as food for many of the ocean creatures from the smallest of fish to large whales. Some scientists estimate that phytoplankton provide the earth with almost half of its oxygen.
Construct a hypothesis – Based on your observation in question 1 and your background research in question 2, develop a hypothesis relating to the amount of dissolved oxygen measured in the water sample and the number of fish observed in the body of water? Answer = I would test the dissolved oxygen in different areas of water, keep track of the fish in those areas and compare the results. 4. Test with an experiment – Describe an experiment that would allow you to test your hypothesis from question 3. This description must provide ample detail to show knowledge of experimental design and should list the independent and dependent variables, as well as your control.
Ocean Organism Lab Introduction: In this lab we explored Brindle beach to collect and identify different organisms. We split the class into two groups. One group was asked to look around the rocky section of the beach and the other group was asked to look around the more flat sandy part of the beach. I was put into the group that was asked to explore the rocky section. Each group had three buckets, one for seaweed, one for mollusks, and one for crabs.
The juvenile Rainbow Parrotfish generally spends its time in "mangrove sanctuaries", areas where the roots of a mangrove tree grow into the ocean and serve as a safe haven for small fish. Unfortunately, due to human interference and other factors, these mangrove populations are waning as well. This is opening these sanctuaries to predators and not allowing the juvenile fish that called them home to survive. The solution essentially narrows itself down to one goal, save the mangroves and, as a result, save the Rainbow Parrotfish. The question that I am asking is: "How much, in detail, does saving the mangroves help the Rainbow Parrotfish?
It is imperative that we remember just what SeaWorld continues to contribute towards the welfare of Orcas in the wild. Seaworld has contributed 70 million dollars to the care of its captive Orcas, ensuring that they have 24/7 care from vets, behavioural phycologists and many others. To put that into perspective, SeaWorld has put in more money into the welfare of their whales than Britain has given to desperately poor countries in 3 years. !
