Commensalism In Science Ecology

They use their tentacles which have rings on the ends that are very sharp and create a tight grip using suction. After the prey is torn, they shred it into smaller pieces and eat it with a small beak that looks like a mouth. (Squid-World) “Octopuses creep toward its prey and then pounces, grabbing hold with its tentacles. Suckers on the tentacles hold the prey firmly while the octopus drags it to its mouth.”(Grid Club) Both creatures also use inject venom, that paralyzes the prey. Then, they release salivary enzymes.

I am going to tell you all about whale sharks’ adaptations. First, whale sharks diet is that they do not attack They do eat shrimp. Second, there habitat is in the warmer areas. Some have been spotted in the cooler warters. Last there habits they are solitary creatures.

Most of the members are gray in color and have some greenish tint with white bellies. This color balance enables the sharks to perfectly blend with the ocean since a prey viewing from the bottom will not see it sneaking in for a meal. The cephalofoil laterally project outwards thus giving the shark the hammerhead shape and, as a sensory organ, ability to easily notice electric field created by prey or threat from miles away. All the hammerhead sharks have excessively small mouths compared to other sharks located at the bottom of the cephalofoil with serrated triangular teeth. Hammerheads have wide-set eyes on the outer edges of the hammer adapted to give a wider and better visual range compared to other sharks.

The Dogfish has two dorsal fins, you have a anterior or first dorsal fin and a posterior or a second dorsal fin both have spines so look they looked closely and are available to locate them. As they go to the back of the shark the end is called the coddle fin. They turned the shark over to the ventral side. Toward the back of the shark there is fins and they are called the pelvic fin. These will tell you what kind of gender the shark is.

Its flaxen eyes are usually the only part of the cuttlefish that pokes above the ocean bottom. At nightfall, the cuttlefish comes out to feed on small shrimp and fish. Two long fins haunch the sides of the striped pyjama squid body and the arms of its two tentacles have small suckers, each having a toothed horny rim. The lower side of its body is veiled in small glands that let out slime when The Striped Pyjama Squid is under attack by predators, quickly scarring off or terminating any predators from harming it by any means. It can also quickly change color to a dark purple-brown, making it easier to screen itself against corals and rocks near the bottom of the

Concerning their dietary needs, makos, because of their super speed, they can catch swordfish and tuna, which are both fast swimming fish, with teeth that are like spears. Although all sharks are different, but no matter the size of a shark it’s always covered in denticles. Denticles fit together to equip the mako with a protective coat of armor. But just because sharks are fish it doesn’t mean that their

The fertilization is internal due to the male chimaera’s pelvic fins or claspers that they use to grab and hold onto the female chimaera during copulation. It is hard to study the development of the Chimaera due to the deep-water habitat in which they mostly reside. Chimaera reproduce by laying eggs; these eggs are covered in another egg layer and dropped onto the ocean floor. Their diet consists of prey such as crabs, clams, and echinoderms. The Chimaera may also eat other fish if need be.

They use spray pesticides from natural sources to keep pests and diseases away. Animals are fed organic feed, and have access to go outdoors. Organic farming is known to be more civilized. To keep the animals from sickness, preventive measures are used. According to a State of Science Review done in 2008, organic food is more nutritious than inorganic as there are no chemicals or additives going into your body.

They will find it’s way into a fish’s mouth through the gills, suck the blood of the tongue until it wastes away, then attach themselves to the leftover tongue muscles and act as the fish’s new tongue. They are the only parasite known to replace an entire organ with it’s own body. Having your tongue eaten and

⦁ Squid: It depends on the species you are talking about, you can find squid in all major bodeis of water. Some will live in warm tropical waters and other will live in a cooler climate water. Most squid live in salt water but there are some that live in freshwater as well. ⦁ Oysters: They can live in a wide range of areas due to there strenght towards temperature, salinity, and concentrations of suspended sediments and dissolved oxygen. What problems will these animals have?
