My Sunfish Research Paper

It’s a beautiful day at the beach, the sun is shining down on you as you float and drift on top of the waves. As you lay there without a care in the world, you are suddenly interrupted by a massive swarm of jellyfish; also known as a bloom. Not only does this send you into sudden terror, it also causes a much bigger threat to the ecosystem below you. The excessive growth of jellyfish swarm drastically lowers the population of fish eggs in the ecosystem. Because of this, fishermen lose millions of dollars. People in local communities are figuring out ways to solve this mass production.

My species is the Ocellaris Clownfish! This is the one that looks like Nemo on Finding Nemo. Its body is an oval shape and has three vertical white stripes outlined with a fine black line. They are saltwater fish and live in an anemone. They live in a core habitat. They have symbiotic relationship with the sea anemone. The anemone gets pesits it doesn't want living on it off of it, and the clown fish gets protection from the tentacles of the anemone. Young clownfish have difficulty finding an anemone to live in. The young clownfish begins at the bottom of the social ladder when it enters an anemone. It is often the victim of aggression by other clownfish. Clownfish are a very social group. They like to live in colonies.There are two types of

Blackfish was released on the 19th of July 2013 in New York. Gabriela Cowperthwaite’s award-winning documentary is about a captive killer whale that has taken the lives of several people. This documentary explores the different stories of Tilikum’s attacks and the reasons for why these accidents are occurring in the sea park industry.

Most people would not appreciate a stranger walking into their home unannounced, taking their food, and making themselves at home. That is exactly what lionfish are doing along the Florida coastline. Lionfish are an invasive species that need to be contained. The reefs that they consistently invade off of the coast of the Florida are not the lionfish's natural habitat. This invasive species takes shelter and resources out of the reef that other species need to survive, and they destroy the environment around them. Humans have complicated the balance of the ecosystem by introducing lionfish, and now they need to help rectify the situation.

At New Melones Reservoir, despite the continuing snow melt, the water level dropped another foot last week. The water clarity is good and the temperature is slowly coming up, now averaging 76 to 81-degrees. Trout are showing signs of schooling over deep water and feeding on shad minnows. Trollers have been finding trout at 40 to 60 feet with Speedy Shiners, Needlefish, and ExCel lures. Night fishermen have been doing well by anchoring over fairly deep water and lowering their light to about 20 feet. This attracts plankton, which in turn, attracts shad, which will attract larger fish. Live minnows and nightcrawlers are choice baits. The kokanee numbers may be down, but the quality is good with some going 15 to 18 inches. Bladed lures may work well in deeper water as they create vibration which will attract fish. Scented corn on each hook is important. Big trout winner at Glory Hole Sports was, again, Bob James, of Murphys, with a 2-pound rainbow caught at 55 feet in the main lake. Big catfish winner was John Tennant, of Twain Harte, with an 11-pound, 15-ounce fish caught with sardine bait in the main lake. Bass fishing is good for those who specialize in that type of fishing. Hayden Lee, of Angels Camp, recently caught a 10 pound Largemouth Bass on a topwater lure and he had no net in the boat. He and a friend were able to boat the fish for photos before release.

The first time I felt the recoil of a shotgun coincide with the simultaneous drop and flop of a turkey I knew I was hooked. This was all the way back in the fall of 2005 when I shot my very first turkey alongside my father. That day started an addiction that has since intensified and spread to not only turkeys but almost all of Missouri's highly sought after species. Hunting, conservation, and the great outdoors have always been embedded in the hearts of my family. I am no different and plan to dedicate my life to Missouri’s wildlife the same way they have.

Item or food picked: American Lobster (Homarus americanus) The Lobster is one of the most valuable seafood exports around the world. With a reported value of $ 1 billion worth of exports and a general upward trend of desire (See figure 1), the lobster might be one of the most interesting foods in the market [1]. In addition to being one of my favourite foods, the reason why I chose to talk about lobster is because it is one of those foods that remind me of my childhood, as I spend some of my younger years living in Maine. This animal that is only found in the Atlantic cost of North America, with its main exporters being Maine, Nova Scotia and New Brunswick.

A team of researchers have revealed that after some studying, it's been found that rising temperatures in the waters off northeastern Maine is killing a large number of codfish.

I love the story of the starfish on the beach. I have read it many times in several different forms over the years but I am always struck by its simple truth. One form of it goes like this: A man was walking down the beach one day when he saw a young boy coming towards him. Every few feet or so the boy would stop, bend down, and pick up a starfish. Then with a huge effort he would toss it back into the

If I had a magical goldfish that could grant me three wishes my wishes would be to have good health throughout my life, be successful in life and have true friendships. I would like for my family and I to be healthy so we don’t have problems in our life. Also, so we can be healthy and be able to do stuff sick people are not able to do. Many people in life are diagnosed with illnesses that affect their lives and I would not like my family to be affected in any way. The effect of this wish would be that there will be no problems and we will be happy. The benefit of the wish on others is that no one will have to worry about expenses, we will be able to be with each other as long as possible and not have problems with health.

Jellyfish, Dangerous yet beautiful creatures, lurk in the ocean, some are big and some are small. There are over 2000 different kinds of jellyfish some of the species are very deadly. Jellyfish can lay up to 40,000 eggs a day, there are a lot of jellyfish and they can be dangerous to us and our Marine wildlife. There is a type of jellyfish that can kill a full grown adult in 2-5 minutes. Scientist have discovered a type of jellyfish that eats other jellyfish. Jellyfish are magnificent creatures they are a threat to us and other animals but scientist might have solved that problem.

Fish could soon be delivering drugs to our body. At least, the newly developed robotic microscopic fish could. Manufactured by 3D printing technology, these microfish robots can swim, detect, and eliminate toxins from their environment.

The type of marine organism, which will be reported on within the following text, is the Brittle Stars. The Brittle Star is also called the serpent star and a common name for a large group of echinoderms closely related to the starfish. These organisms make up the class Ophiuroidea; another common name for ophiuroidea is snake stars. These organisms can be found in all oceans but are more abundant in the Tropics. Brittle stars can come in different colors.

Nowadays, having an aquarium as the part of house decoration becomes the popular hobby found.
