Sea Lamprey: Aquatic Life In The Great Lakes

Hammerhead sharks are found in ecosystems in temperate and tropical oceans. They live in these types of oceans, because if it was a colder climate they would die from hypothermia and soon the species would become extinct. These sharks like to stay in schools up to 100 in numbers. The reason they stick together is there is more protection in numbers and they can kill bigger prey like big great white sharks. Next Hammerhead sharks gets there name for its flat shaped head and some people think it is useless to the shark.

Orcas with different backgrounds and dialects are placed together without much thought about how this could affect them. A killer whale named Tilikum was placed in Sealand and he was expected to perform tricks that he had never done, and if he performed them incorrectly all of the whales were withheld food. “This annoyed the others, so they would rake him with their teeth, causing him to bleed” (Lewis). In the wild, when a dominant orca begins showing aggression the other orca has thousands of miles to swim away and flee the scene. However, these animals are in pools where they do not have that option.

Freshwater fishing doesn’t even require a boat, but for best results it is recommended. Therefore, freshwater boats aren’t anything special, you can use a pontoon, ski boat, or even a speed boat. There is no specific requirements in order to be able to fish safely in freshwater. I personally have fished from all three of those examples, and all offer their own benefits. Saltwater fishing boats have specific requirements that need to be met in order to safely fish in the ocean.

146 orcas have died in captivity, and 48 of those orcas have died at SeaWorld. The average person believes that orcas, also known as killer whales, are in captivity for their own well being, or to research their species, but that is false. Killer whales are tortured to do our bidding, for other people's entertainment and greediness. The orca trainers limit their food rations so that they become hungry enough to want the “food treat” after they do the tricks that are force upon them. Orcas do not belong in captivity, they belong in the ocean not in a tank.

That is not cool because this may kill the population and do you want to be known as the man who killed the rest of the Loggerhead's. Many people are killing turtles or disturbing them. It is wrong to disturb Loggerhead turtles in their nesting. My reason for that is they may get scared and leave their babies alone. It is also very wrong to kill Loggerhead Turtles.

The Use of PCR and Gel Electrophoresis to Examine the Pitx1 Enhancer Region in the Stickleback Fish of Big Lake Hypothesis: Due to selective pressures in a freshwater environment, the stickleback fish in Big Lake will not have pelvic spines due to an insertion mutation in the Pitx1 enhancer region. Rationale: Since these stickleback fish are found in Big Lake, which is a freshwater lake that does not experience a marine environment, they will not have pelvic spines due to the specific selective pressures they experience. In Big Lake, the calcium levels is 14ueqv/L, which is much lower than the calcium levels found in a marine environment. This can result in less bone growth, and a lack of pelvic spine found in the stickleback fish. There

“In those days, we had high expectations of raising them for food, and I’m deeply troubled by how it turned out,” he said in a speech in Shiga Prefecture (“Emperor regrets introducing invasive U.S. bluegill 50 years ago“, Nov 16, 2007). He then brought it back to Japan and gave them to the National Research Institute of Aquaculture. In 1996, the National Research Institute of Aquaculture released them into a lake called Ippei Ko in Shizuoka Prefecture. These bluegills spread because people used them for food for the largemouth bass, and some people caught them when they were fishing and then released them back into a different place and they spread everywhere. The bluegill is a strong fish that can survive in polluted water, and other fish populations have decreased

Although some have been discovered, they are too virulent to use near other species. The newts and other native animals in the lake now have to compete with the crayfish for food, crayfish have even been known to kill newts at times. The park’s aquatic biologist, Mark Buktenica, says "You can hardly turn a rock over without finding a juvenile or adult crayfish." Scientists and researchers are trying to quickly find a way to install barriers that wouldn’t be visible to park visitors, but will keep the crayfish separate from the native

I could hardly see, even with the highest prescription goggles, there was tons of kelp, and my mouth tasted perpetually of disgusting salty sea water, from the waves getting in my snorkel. Everyone got to go swimming this one day without the wetsuits and it felt like ice, but was fun anyway. There was going to be a sandcastle contest too, but a bison had decided to take a stroll down to the beach, so we all had to go on to the pier, where we saw tons of small sharks, that we were assured were harmless to humans. Caesar’s waterproof camera actually had gotten a dent when a shark bit it, but he was completely fine. When the bison left, we all kept jumping off the pier into the icy water.

The Japanese Sea lion in the 70s, and The Baiji Chinese River Dolphin in 2006 have been victim to our careless actions. Let’s not make sharks the next. World leaders, I am not here to just tell you about the demise of sharks, but to ask you to take action to halt their demise because this problem is on all our hands. As we speak ships are carrying fins to destinations across the world to your country. Currently, there is no international law to prohibit the selling of shark fins.

They have no natural predators in Alberta and will out-compete native species for resources (http://esrd.alberta.ca/recreation-public-use/invasive-species/fish.aspx).” Goldfish are a specific type of carp that was bred to be the bright orange color that it is 1000s of years ago in China to be used as display for their bright colors (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prussian_carp). Although they are related to carp species that are non-invasive, these goldfish being released threatens the stabilization of the many Canadian rivers and lakes. If the authorities aren’t able to stop the flourishing invasion of the friendly orange goldfish, they could be looking at a depletion of resources vast enough to cause harm t o the native animal and plant
