The Green Mooray Eel Skin

Well-known author Amy Tan, in her short narrative “Fish Cheeks”, writes about the embarrassment she has because of her culture and ethnicity. She talks about this when a white father and his son, Robert, whom she likes, want to come over her house, and as a chinese-american young woman, she is a little ashamed of the chinese food. She also is ashamed by the type of house and environment she lives in.

This cartoon goes by a few names, but the Standard Oil octopus is the most common, it was created by Udo J Keppler in New York and wad published in Puck magazine on September 7th 1904. The cartoon depicts a standard oil tanker as an octopus it has its tentacles wrapped around Congress, state capital, the shipping industry, the railroads, and other business owners or politicians. The only thing that the octopus does not have control of is the White House, its eyes are fixed on it but its tentacles are just hovering above it not able to grasp it, the reason for this is because of President Roosevelt using the Sherman Antitrust Act to regulate the monopolies. The point Kepler was trying to get across the importance of regulating Standard Oil to prevent them from monopolizing farther in controlling the entire country, which at the time they already pretty much did.

This sea creature can actually turn inside out to protect itself from being hunted: Eel/ Sea Cucumber

Sargassum is used by larvae to travel to other locations and this allows the ocean to be more diverse. They also produce oxygen since they are photosynthetic. Algae is not a Linnaean classification but they are in kingdom Chromista and Plantae. Algae has three grouping of brown, red, and green algae. Brown algae contain chlorophyll an and c and are in kingdom Chromista. Red algae contain a pigment called phycobilins and only contain chlorophyll and are in kingdom Plantae. They are used as a food additive in ice cream and used in sushi. In their blooms they become known as the red tide and will secrete nerve toxins in the water. Green algae contain chlorophyll a and b and are in kingdom Plantae. Some of the common are dead mans finger, sea lettuce, and mermaids

It is protected by a brownish striped shell, this individual mussel was originally homed in Eurasia (Europe), but now can be found within our river, the St Lawrence. Zebra mussels are filter feeders which being so they reduce the amount of plankton for other species. In large quantities when eating they can clear the water up, which allows the sunlight to penetrate deeper into the Saint Lawrence. Zebra mussels don't eat certain types of plankton, which impacts other species greatly due to the toxic algal blooms. With clearer waters, light sensitive fish, like the walleye, swim to deeper waters to escape the sunlight. Many scientist to this day are concerned with the health of fish and birds who eat the zebra mussel. Meaning if we went back in our history this could of possibly never been a

Lamprey are classified as hagfish. Lamprey are eel-like scale less animals that can grow up to 6 to 40 inches long. The skeleton of a lamprey consists of cartilage. The mouth is a round sucking hole surrounded with horn shaped teeth. They have eyes, one or two dorsal fins, a tail fin, a single nostril on top of the head, and seven gill openings on each side of the body. Lamprey live in coastal and fresh water. Not all lampreys spend time in the ocean. Some are landlocked and are stuck in fresh water.

Despite their name the Brown-throated Three-toed Sloth is often tinged with green due to the growth

Sometimes we mentally ask ourselves, “What can I do to fit in?” which is a simpler way of saying, “What societal norms do I need to conform to in order to not be ridiculed”

The poem “Fish Cheeks” is about a girl named Amy. Amy is a Chinese girl who wants to be like her friends, who are American. Amy needs to learn to be the person that Amy is. Amy also is embarrassed because of who Amy is and because Amy’s family isn’t like a “normal” American family. Replicating and embarrassment are two things that are seen in this text.

Scientists have discovered a material modeled after shark skin, which can help reduce the spread of bacteria in hospitals. Shark skin has a feel similar to sandpaper. That is because of the tiny ridges and grooves that reduce friction and help the shark to move so fast through the water. Bumby designed to allow sharks to move through the ocean also perfect in preventing the growth of bacteria, including Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) bacteria which is resistant to the antibiotics used to treat staph infection, and known for causing infection in hospitals. Researchers helped by using this material to stop spreading the disease of causing bacteria in hospitals. The Study examined how the shark skin has bumps that are too

In the 1970’s man introduced the Asian Carp (Cyprinus carpio) to the Great Lake region. Their introduction was done primarily as a form of management of aqua culture farms and sewage treatment areas (Watershed Council). The fish were under controlled populations until record floods occurred in the upper Mississippi River system. Once the flooding occurred the species began to spread and destroy the native populations of fish and other aquatic animals.

In this imformational essay you are going to learn about angles of the sea and sea goblins and i will tell you all about them in this essay.

The creature blue-ringed octopus is known as the deadliest of its kind, yet is so tiny and small that a toddler can pick it up with just a thumb (Morse et al., 2017). However, be warned by the sudden change of colour as it is a warning due to the venom produced when they are about to attack. Medical importance to humans involves its poison (Williams et al., 2012). Octopus are marine animals famous for their rounded body, bulging eyes, eight long arms with tentacles and highly intelligent brain (Sullivan, 2017). The blue-ringed octopus of Australia is dangerous to humans when handled, stepped on or provoked (Underhill, 2010). For the purpose of this review, the taxonomy, morphology, reproduction, life cycle, habitat, feeding, behaviour, toxicity

Carp can look like large goldfish. The big difference between carp and goldfish are the barbels, or whiskers, around their mouths. Carp have thick lips and small eyes. They have a single dorsal fin with strongly serrated spines and a forked tail. The color of carp is varied. Wild, common carp can be olive, tan, or dark brown. They have large and thick scales.
