Case Study 41 Years Old Gold Fish

Unit 1 ties into the theme of tolerance and the acceptance of others, as Barbara Jordan said it, “We, as human beings, must be willing to accept people who are different from ourselves”. Whether it was the short story What of This Goldfish, Would You Wish? Or the newspaper editorial The American Flag Stands For Tolerance, the pieces dive into and explore the issues of acceptance among others.

As mentioned in the case description, tetrodotoxin is a molecule that blocks voltage-gated sodium ion channels. Describe the structure of a sodium ion.

Black Fish uses the death of a recognized Killer Whale trainer at SeaWorld, Dawn Brancheau who was one of Tilikums trainers thorough his twenty years in captivity, almost as a framing device to explore the theory that possessing Orcas in captivity is corrupt and unnatural for the whales. In Black fish, there are many different tragedies that went on while the Orcas were in captivity. Fisher men separated the young from the mothers and took them into SeaWorld. Many of the workers were unaware of all of the immoral actions they were taking part in. Tilikum was the Killer Whale that ended up killing Dawn Brancheau and causing a stir in SeaWorld. Having Orcas in captivity damages them but, the trainers were scared to leave because they want to continue to care for the whales. There is a relationship shared with the trainers and the whales yet it is obvious that very little was taught in the SeaWorld industry about these intelligent mammals.

At the conclusion of the experiment, the two hypotheses were reviewed. Because the water temperature did affect the normal respiration patterns of the goldfish, the null hypothesis was disregarded and the alternative hypothesis was accepted. From the results of this experiment, it was concluded that although other environmental factors could play

“You can’t blame gravity for falling in love.” This quote from Albert Einstein raises importance to the universal theme of true love. This theme can be seen in the Italian story “Poor Fish,” where the main character had low self-esteem. Later in the story, he met a girl named Ida and started gaining more confidence in himself. Another story that demonstrates true love is the Chinese “The Tall Woman and Her Short Husband.” This story revolves around the lives of a married couple in which the woman is taller than her spouse. In the story, no one believes that they are in love and they start suspecting that Mrs. Tall only married for wealth. However, in light of the tragedies that happen, true love is exemplified in the end. These stories demonstrate

In this experiment, an oxygen-measuring probe was attached to an oxygen chamber in order to quantify oxygen consumption rate, which served as a substitute measure for metabolic rate. The oxygen-measuring probe provided real-time measurements of dissolved oxygen (DO) concentration present in the chamber water. The oxygen chamber was sealed to create a closed system so that over time, the oxygen levels would decrease as the goldfish respired and consumed the oxygen present in the water. The software LoggerLite was used to record real-time DO concentration measurements.

The California State Fish: the magnificent golden trout. It flawlessly glides through the water, its golden underbelly and blue-green back cloaking its body, making it one with the water. Appointed in 1947, the golden trout, or Oncorhynchus Mykiss Agua Bonita, are native to California, having populated only a handful of icy streams in the Sierra. However, this concoction of color is threatened, and every year, their population lessens.

The allusive bluefin tuna is one of the largest, fastest and highly sought after fish in the wild sea. The Bluefin tuna can weigh over half a ton, grow to over four metres in length, and dive to depths of 1,000 metres. They can reach speeds of 70 miles an hour and even raise their body temperature far above that of the surrounding water in order to traverse arctic waters. They are among the most ambitiously migratory of all fish, with some tagged bluefin being tracked swimming from North American to European waters several times a year. The bluefin tuna is unique, a perfectly adapted products of evolution. They are also dangerously close to becoming extinct (Brown). Today, the bluefin tuna has been fished out by 97 percent from pre-fishing

The Marble Champ” by Gary Soto & “The 14th. Goldfish,” by Jennifer L. Holm, Both share many similarities. One theme I can make out of both stories is “Never Give Up.” One is a story about a scientist who is stuck as a teenager because of a mishap in his invention. The other story is about a girl who is good at all things but sports and has to work hard to get good at it. These stories both share similar themes. One, because they both are determined to become successful. Two, they both work hard in what they believe in. Three, they both have motivations that help them Never Give Up.

f you leave something you love very much. And you cannot have it no more. If you had to leave it and it could never be the same without it. You had to live your life as if that something that you loved was never there. When you leave something that you love its like leaving a piece of you behind that you charish.

In order to determine if the entire class was able to reach the objective, Ms. Meaghan and I took anecdotal notes during our observation groups about student’s observations and quotes about each basic need. In each group, each student was assigned a job, which was described on each card. Their jobs related to providing the goldfish with their basic needs for survival. Three students in each group were feeders, four students were planters, and four were water changers (two added water and two replaced). The feeders each received a piece of scrap paper with some food on it, and each student took turns feeding the fish. The planters each put a sprig of elodea in the tank to create shelter. The two water removers, each took a small Dixie cup of “dirty” water out of the tank, and the two water adders, put one small Dixie cup of conditioned water into the tank. Through their work in their small group, the students were able to develop an understanding of each need of goldfish, and understand how to provide it. They were able to have a chance to actually provide the

Sergei’s response toward Yoni is reasonable. Yoni didn’t take the hint, Sergei did not want to be in a television “Sergei tells the boy, tells him in what he thinks is a straightforward manner, that he doesn’t want it”. He made it clear that he didn’t want to be recorded and the boy wasn’t listening. Sergei’s cultural experiences and bad childhood experiences with the KGB, “The KGB felt right at home knocking on his door.”, explains his actions.

A case study that I find compelling to write about is the letter SeaWorld wrote to the public due to outrage from the documentary Blackfish. For some background information, Blackfish was released on Discovery and Netflix. It shows the harsh reality of how killer whales were initially captured to be put in captivity, the unnatural habitats that the whales live in, the damaging effects of captivity on the whale’s brain and lifespan, and other facts that brought heavy backlash on SeaWorld. SeaWorld released this letter in hopes of persuading the public that the conditions weren’t what they seemed in the film. However, this was difficult if not impossible for them to do because the documentary had such strong evidence, even going

Okay so lets get started facts hmmm.. facts let me think about that oh yeah, so the myth that fish have a 3 second memory span well... lets go back to that one word MYTH. It’s a myth that they have a 3 second memory span turns out they can have a 5 month memory span!!. And gold fish remember the sound as study's show, in a research facility more specific the Researchers from the Technicon Institute

Neil Gaiman is an English writer. Gaiman is also a beekeeper, likes sushi as a comfort food, has a shed where he does his writing, and believes that books have genders. I would personally like to meet him because he has a tumblr page. It would be easy to keep in touch with him even after our first meet up. I would like to read “The Day I Swapped My Dad for Two Goldfish”. When I stumbled across the title, it caught my attention immediately. Event though it is aimed at younger readers, I still want to read it and enjoy it as I read. Outside of his writing, Neil Gaiman once said, “It has always been the prerogative of children and half-wits to point out that the emperor has no clothes. But the half-wit remains a half-wit, and the emperor remains
