Identify Fish

Daniel Wallace's Big Fish tells the story of a father and son trying to communicate and make up for lost time at the time of the father's death. In the novel, the father's death takes place in four different stories or "takes." In the midst of these accounts of his death, we are told through stories and tall tales just what the father, Edward Bloom, was really like. Throughout the story are one page chapters where the story shifts and the life of Edward Bloom is told by others and through this we are told what "they say" about him. It is in these pages where the real legend of Edward Bloom is discovered. These one page chapters not only help in portraying Edward Bloom as a legend, but also add to the uniqueness of Daniel Wallace's

The author and his colleagues specifically chose to focus on 375 million year old rocks in their search for fossils because this was the time frame that provided fish that would be useful to study from. The 385 million year old rocks provided fish that look too similar to the ones we have now and the 365 million year old rocks have fossils that don’t resemble fish. The 375 million year old rocks, however, provide fossils that show the transition between fish and land living animals.

In the article “Changes at Snake River dams helping Idaho sockeye salmon” it states that “an unusual combination of low water and an extended heat wave pushed water temperatures past 70 degrees, lethal for cold-water sockeye.” I have a very strong connection to fishing and I hate it when fish die for no good reason or because of a manmade structure. A report by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration said “One of the factors contributing to the deaths of sockeye salmon was “fallback,” a tendency of fish to successfully climb a dam’s fish ladder but then, running into warm water, decide to go back downstream, often via a dam’s spillway or through the turbines.” This reminds me of the time I was fishing near a small dam and caught

“Largemouth bass grow 4 to 6 inches during their first year, 8 to 12 inches in to years, 16 inches in three years” According to so and so largemouth can grow up to 4 to 6 inches (Jennings). They are green with dark spots that look like black stripes along both sides. The belly is a light greenish color, sometimes it could be white. The coloration of the fish depends on where it is living at the time if it is under heavy vegetation the fish will have a darker green color, if the fish is out in the open it will be a whiter green color. They have what looks to be a dorsal fin on the arch of their back. Their upper jaw sticks out much farther than their eyes do. “Fry, which are what the baby bass are called feed mainly insects or worms”(Citation). Larger fish prey upon smaller

This is very wrong, I have caught the same fish many and many times in the places that I fish. The reason i know this for redfish is most of them have spots, (It is rare to catch one that has no spots.) and sometimes I will catch some with weird looking spots and it is interesting, then, I will come back and catch more fish, and i notice that i caught the same fish if it has the same weird looking spot. For largemouth bass that I catch out of ponds, some of them have interesting patterns on the side, and I will know if I caught the same one if it has the same looking pattern on the

The facts are in you can identify an anglefish by .that anglefish can grow from 6 to 24 inches long they get their name from their beauty and grace, marine anglefish are common in Florida and the Caribbean. Some anglefish masked like the emporer anglefish and young marine anglefish they both have vertical stpes on them, the regal anglefish is color- crazed including the half moon anglefish, blue anglefish, and the rocky beauty, the young french anglefish will let divers come closely to them so that they can show off their pretty colors,fersh water anglefish live in slow moving waters they grow to six inches long they look ghost like. To identify a sea goblin look for their pink ugly unappling skin it looks like an alien but with

Black sea bass are fairly stout-bodied fish, with a long dorsal fin, and large pectoral and pelvic fins. The rounded tail sometimes has a long streamer trailing out from the top edge. Each gill cover has a flat spine near the outer edge. Mature males have a fleshy dorsal hump just anterior to the dorsal fin. The background color of the black sea bass (smokey gray, brown, or bluish black) is marked with darker patches and light speckles. The belly is only slightly lighter than the sides. Young sea bass are green or brown with a dark lateral stripe running from the head to the tail. Juvenile and adult black sea bass feed upon a variety of benthic invertebrates such as rock crabs, hermit crabs, squids, and razor clams. Black sea bass adults typically

Anglefish and Goblin Sharks can be very diffrent, but if you dont know how to tell them apart it might just change your game. Howerver theese fish are very easy to tell apart, with one being a fish and the other being a shark. And the fact that Angle Fish are very colorful, wtih Goblin Sharks being a pale redish pink color. I am going to go into very specific facts about theese facinating creatures, so hold your horses!

In the Documentary Blackfish, directed by Gabriel Cowperthwaite, the hidden secrets of SeaWorld are revealed, exposing a company that is filled with lies, danger, and recklessness. The treatment of the animals and trainers that SeaWorld has put in effect is not only unfair, but also cruel. Throughout most people’s childhood, they would recall SeaWorld as a magical and amazing place that they have either heard about or seen for themselves. The message being sent across through this documentary is that SeaWorld is not as wonderful of a place as everyone thinks it is, in reality it is a brutal and harsh community, where death strikes often and anyone could be the next victim.

The rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) belong in the Salmonidae family which is native to North America but have been introduced to all continents apart from Antarctica. Its upper body is dark greeny blue, the sides are a lighter shade of olive green and blue and underneath their stomach is silvery-white. Their head and body are speckled and pink, red, or orange patches can appear along the rainbow trout’s head and/or flanks. Rainbow trout live in freshwater creeks, rivers, lakes, and dams. However, in the northern hemisphere some rainbow trout have been known to migrate between fresh and salt water for breeding. This is not the case in Australia though, as most are restricted to fresh water. Rainbow trout prefer cool waters of 10-22

Before attempting this lab, we conducted some research on what conditions catfish need to survive in an area. Catfish are better off at temperatures ranging from 88-90 degrees Fahrenheit. Their preferred dissolved oxygen levels are at least 4 ppm.(http://www.thefishsite.com/articles/1907/water-quality-monitoring-and-management-for-catfish-ponds/). The diet of catfish often changes as they age. Younger catfish primarily feed on aquatic insects such as dragonfly larvae, water beetles and fly larvae. By the time they're adults, catfish consume small fish, seeds, aquatic plants, algae, crawfish and snails.(http://animals.mom.me/catfish-eating-habits-9466.html). The alkalinity of the water needs to be at least 40 ppm but the catfish will be happier

The channel catfish (Ictalurus punctatus) are the most common catfish of all freshwater catfish that is located in various parts of the United States and a native fish around the state of Alabama. The symmetrical ray-finned black and olive colored fish is the only North American catfish with a deeply forked tail. Channel catfish spawn during the spring and summer and the average life span is around 14 years. Pimelodidae and Bagridae are ancestral bodies for the catfish including relatives blue and headwater. Channel catfish usually maintain a monogamous mating relationship that begins prior to spawning and ends after spawning is complete. The channel catfish (Ictalurus punctatus), relative to blue and headwater catfish, is a common freshwater fish in the United States, the only one of its species in North America with a forked tail, and has a unique monogamous relationship every spawning season.

The Atlantic lumpfish is a small marine fish found throughout the eastern Atlantic Ocean, North Sea, Baltic Sea and Barents Sea. The species shows promise as a biological delousing agent for maintaining low levels of sea lice in Atlantic salmon sea cages, similar to several species of wrasse that have been used since the 1990s. They are collectively termed “cleaner fish”, and feed on a wide range of marine invertebrates, including sea lice. The majority of wrasse are sourced from wild fishery, while almost all lumpfish are produced in land-based farming facilities. The demand for cleaner fish in Norwegian aquaculture is high, and almost 25 million individuals were put to sea in the year 2014.

This article is about the rapid growth of lionfish in the wild. These fish are destroying the ecosystem. They are an unopposed predator in the deep blue and so they over eat to the point of obesity and reproduce rapidly. Colin Angle, iRobot CEO, went on a diving trip in the bermuda and learned about the damage the lionfish were doing. Several conservationists motioned or funded him creating a machine that could kill the fish. This is how the Robots in Service of the Environment (RISE) nonprofit company was started.

There are many different types of species of fish found in the Midwest’s rivers and lakes. More than 160 species of freshwater fish inhabit the waters of the Great Lakes. These species include sunfish, bass, salmon, trout, and sturgeon. Blue catfish are mostly native to the Mississippi River, the Missouri River, and the Ohio River. They have large blue bodies with smooth skin with no scales. They can be found over sand or rocky bottoms. Paddlefish are found in the Ohio River. They have a very large mouth and a long paddle-shaped snout called a rostrum. They tend to seek out deeper waters and are highly mobile, traveling far distances within river systems.
