Observation Of The Half Crabs

crab’s scientific name is the Uca. Next the the fiddler crab lay thousands of eggs in one time. Did you know that you can buy a fiddler crab at pet store? Next time you go to a pet store look for the fiddler crab.

1The isopods will gather in the wetter environment instead of the dry environment. 2The isopods will have an affinity to a more basic region than an acidic region. 3The isopods will tend to gather in the environment with a greater amount of light, than an environment with no light. 4The isopods will take a liking to a warmer temperature environment than a cooler temperature environment.By looking at the data you can see that there is a preference among isopods to favor an environment that is cold, wet, basic, and dark. We included the observed data as well as the expected data. Our expected data show what the information would look like if it came from a null universe. To come from a null universe means that the data will have no difference,

From just one experiment it seems that the pillbugs were indifferent to the dark, except on one or two occasions they favored the dark . Multiple tests would ensure that the data is accurate and my conclusions would fully support my hypothesis.

According to evidence card D, in the area where the crabs live only green and yellow light make it all the way to the ocean floor. That is, if the rays aren't stopped or absorbed. Also according to evidence card A these crabs can see all colors of visible light. If the crab lives on the ocean floor this shows that light does reach the surface and the crabs on the ocean floor can see it. This light may not light up the the entire world around the crab because it depends on what materials absorb the light but as a matter of fact, according to evidence card C, plankton reflect all light so the crabs should be able to see

Referring to the experiment`s hypotheses that the A. franciscana prefers light, temperatures between 20-24 ̊ C, and a basic (pH 8) environment; the results regarding the first treatment, light, were initially vague. According to the experiment results, the A. franciscana did not show a clear preference towards light or dark because both sections contained high concentrations of them; the A. franciscana also strayed from the uncovered section. Several factors may shed light on the results such as the A. franciscanas physical appearance; they possess three light-sensitive eyes that can adjust to both low and high light intensities (Fox, 2001). This means that although they may prefer light they can survive in darker habitats as well; relating back to the experiment the A. franciscana may have been content with wherever they were, resulting in limited movement.

Behavior of Brine Shrimp in Habitat Selection Introduction: This experiment was developed primarily to find the optimal or preferred living conditions of adult brine shrimp. In this lab 3 variables were tested in different degrees to determine which the shrimp prefer. The different variables were light, ph, and temperature. From outside resources I have found that brine shrimp can survive in temperatures ranging from 4° Celsius to 40° Celsius with an optimal temperature of 20°-25°. So I hope to reinforce this research by testing its validity in the lab. From another outside source brine shrimp display positive photo taxis, which means that they are attracted to light. And finally from my last outside source I have found information that

This perspective often distorts the view of large crabbing businesses on their harvesting methods which, although are seemingly humane, are actually very detrimental to the crab population. For instance, when Hal Herzog, a Professor of Psychology at Western California University, ventured to Florida’s Gulf coast, the crabbers there explained to him the two varieties of crabs which they harvested; the “lucky” stone crabs and the “unlucky” blue crabs (Herzog). The blue crabs were considered unlucky because they were killed on the spot; however, the stone crabs were considered lucky because of their ability to regenerate their claws, and so crabbers would simply rip their claws off and then throw them back into the sea (Herzog). However,

The barnacles were tested using a small cup filled with water which has a small rock with barnacles on it. Before the experiment was conducted, the barnacles were fed food. The change in cirri beats over one minute was determined. The average decrease of cirri beats per minute was 12.6. Although the manipulated trial was inconsistent, it is still logical to conclude that the

It shares ancestral background with shrimp and lobsters. They are omnivores with their prey being mussels, fish, plants, and smaller blue crabs (Society). Although the Blue Crab is well established within its ecosystem it is highly sensitive to environmental and habitat changes ("Blue Crab, Maryland State Crustacean", 2016). The detrimental conditions of the Chesapeake Bay have affected the populations of Blue Crabs along with over harvesting.

Horseshoe crabs live in the Delaware Bay and give birth to their offspring there. At this time the red knots, a type of bird, migrate to the area to collect food. The food they collect is the newly conceived horseshoe crab eggs that are buried along the shore sand.

In the ocean, the lobsters communicate with each other in different way. Lobsters apparently communicate by urinating. The reason for this is because the lobster's nephropore rosette gland is located under the brain; the glands are connected to the urinary tract, so that they can produce pheromones. The lobsters enters its shelter backwards because there claws are at the front of the body, so it will defend itself by facing the main entrance of the shelter. Therefore, urinating out of their heads is the most direct route for the urine to reach the water around them.

However, the experimental group did prove a slight consistency. Table 2 displays that in the 0.5 MRR row, the three larvae observed had 4, 6, and 6 waves, with the second and third having the same number of waves. Likewise, the second and third larva in the 1 MRR row also had the same number, only having 2 peristaltic waves. When we increased the MRR to 1.5 and 2, all observed larvae did not move at all. This is because by increasing the MRR, the likelihood of the blue light flashing increases. At 0.5 MRR, the blue light would flash once every two seconds. This allowed the experimental group to slightly move before they were forced to contract when the blue light would shine on them again. Once the MRR was set to 1, the light would flash once every second, decreasing the amount the larva would move and thus, decrease the peristaltic

Furthermore, there are aquatic organisms such as the mantis shrimp that has an estimated 12-16 photoreceptor cells. In the presence of the 750 nm wavelength of light that humans cone cells aren’t sensitive enough to signal an observation, the mantis shrimps red cone cells are sensitive to this wavelength of light and can absorb the wavelengths to send a response to their brain. In the presence of UV-B (290-320 nm) wavelengths, humans blue cone cells aren’t sensitive enough or able to absorb enough of the light to signal a response to their brain. Whereas the Mantis Shrimp has various photo receptors that are sensitive to these

Almost all animals and a fair amount of plants are photosensitive. Photosensitive is the ability to detect and react to light. Many organisms can only recognise simple light, and react to them, however their eyes are not developed enough to recognise colour or images. To be able to form an image, an organism needs far more developed eyes. Almost all vertebrates, and some more
