Small Mudskippers

This experiment was performed using the crustacean Armadillidium vulgare, also known as the pillbug. Pillbugs mate in the spring, and it takes several weeks for their fertilized eggs to hatch. After hatching the offspring spend an additional six weeks in a pouch under the female pillbug. Pillbugs eat dead and decaying organic matter, so they are often found in dark damp places. Another reason they like damp places is because they have gills that must be kept moist. The gills are located on the thorax, which is covered by large exoskeleton plates. The thorax is also where the pillbug’s seven pairs of legs are located. The pillbug also has the nickname “roly-poly,” this is because the pillbug has a defensive mechanism where it rolls into a tight ball, using the large exoskeleton plates of its thorax to protect its head and underside.

Their target prey is usually fish (both bony fish, and sharks and rays). They will also eat crustaceans, sea turtles, cetaceans (such as dolphins), and squid.

Daphnia are small, planktonic crustaceans, between 0.2 and 5 mm in length. Daphnia are members of the order Cladocera, and are one of the several small aquatic crustaceans commonly called water fleas because of their saltatory swimming style (although fleas are insects and thus only very distantly related). They live in various aquatic environments ranging from acidic swamps to freshwater lakes, ponds, streams and rivers.In the water flea Daphnia, the single, small heart is easily visible when viewed under transmitted light under a low power

The moment i see my uncle John driving down my long bumpy road, my heart starts pumping. My family and i have been cleaning all day long. I made Uncle John's favorite cookies, lastly Mother made a bed in the spare room for him to sleep on. Once the jobs were done, we waited. My uncle John has put a positive impact into my life because he always bring me fishing. John and i always go to the mud run every single year and he always seems to make me the most happy girl alive.

They are known to be voracious predators with a varied diet, essentially eating any type of animal that they encounter.

Atractosteus spatula is the 3rd largest freshwater fish in North America and is capable of reaching lengths of 3 meters or more and can weigh up to 140 kilograms (Alfaro et al. 2008). Typically the adults mature when they are 3 years old and around 0.6 meters in length (DiBenedetto 2009). Typically females are larger, longer, and heavier than their male counterparts in the same age class and also can live to 50 years or more while the males typically live to around 26 to 30 years (Buckmeier 2008; Buckmeier et al. 2012; DiBenedetto 2009). The vast majority of A. spatula in the wild are between the ages of 3 and 6 years (DiBenedetto 2009).

     The anglerfish has to adapt to an environment that is so deep down into the ocean that you can not see any sunlight. The only light you may see is the bright esca which is used as a lure to attract predators. The esca is attached to what is almost like a fishing pole, called an illicium.The anglerfish can expand both their jaws and their stomachs.They special part of them helps them store food when food is scarce.

Little skate fishes are known to be one of the dominant members of the demersal fish community in the northwestern Atlantic. They live deep in the ocean, sitting in the ocean floor most of times. They use these organs called spiracles as I mentioned above, they help the little skate to function oxygen to reach internal respiratory organs and still intake oxygenated water over their gills. These spiracles are slit-like openings near their eyes. The process goes where water is taken in through the spiracles then passes over to the gills which then leaves the body through five pairs of gill passageway underneath the body. These little skate fishes live on by feeding on crabs, sea squirts, worms, squid, mollusks, small fishes or any other small

What does it eat? It feeds mainly on krill and also consumes tunicates, jellies, small fish and algae.

It is harnessed with senses and is required for the platypus to survive. The platypuses' bill eats solely underwater and only underwater. They find their food by rummaging for food under water using their bill to attack their prey. They are bottom-eaters, which means that their diet consists of insects and insect larvae, worms, and shellfish. They seize their prey by shoveling the mud and gravel with their bill. When their food arrives in their mouth, they cache it in cheek pouches until they reach the surface of the lake or river they are located at (Becker). The platypus lack teeth, so the gravel they shoveled up helps them chew their food (Smith). It can take twelve hours for the platypus to look for food. However, they can stay submerged underwater for only thirty to one hundred-forty seconds (Bradford). While they look for food, they close their eyes due to the mud they dive down into. They use their strong sense of smell and electro-receptors to find their prey

What does it eat? Its main food is small zooplankton and other small crustaceans that a kind of organisms with their bones on the outside of their body. However, scientists are not able to know how they eat.

Usually it resembles a black guppy fish. This is a live-bearer fish. So you need to provide a lot of baby fish around the adults. If you keep a pair of a male and a female with no young ones around, they may not be comfortable with the environment and may develop stress which may even result in their death.

This organism is a herbivore, they only eats plants or any vegetation they can find in the arctic. This is why they don't have sharp teeth or claws.

Anatomy. New Zealand mud snails are very small and look like a typical snail. They only grow to be about five millimeters long. These snails, like all other snails, are gastropods. Snails are also hermaphrodites. A hermaphrodite is a
