Zooplankton

following the machine through the water at 146 meters. While mysterious, the recording could have been faulty. Once, people used sonar to detect a giant object deep in the lake. Later, with better technology, people found that it was just algae and zooplankton blooming and growing. Sonar, though, seems to be the most accurate way to find the Loch Ness so far.…

example Green Crabs eat clams, other animals that eat claims such as fishes will be impacted negatively .As the populations of green crabs increase the claim decreases which causes polychaetes(eaten by clams) to increase, this than will cause zooplankton (eaten by polychaetes) to decrease.The whole food chain will be distributed and some species can be gone from that area. Another negative impact is that when Green Crabs damage eelgrass habitat by cutting the roots of the Eelgrass,while they…

The cutest most microscopic critter in the deep ocean just might be the dumbo octopus. It has large, rounded fins on its body that resemble the ears of “Dumbo, Walt Disney’s animated elephant.” And like the adorable little elephant, the dumbo octopus uses those big “ears” to get around. It’s biome is the aquatic Marine. Dumbo octopus can be found typically in every ocean in the world. Although, the dumbo octopus is a deep sea animal that lives on the floor of the ocean at extreme depths. The…

end corals lose their food sources and become weak (“What is Happening in the Ocean?”). Many types of plankton are affected by warmer oceans, and researchers found that when ocean temperatures rise, phytoplankton grow, but so do zooplankton and bacteria. The zooplankton grow faster and eat all of the phytoplankton, and this creates a bottleneck in the food chain that could create problems for the ocean’s food web. More than 100 million tons of carbon dioxide is absorbed into the ocean each day…

It is easy to focus on the immediate and intended benefits of prescribed drugs that improve an aspect of our lives. But we don’t often think about where the active ingredients go after they have helped us. For example, women can be prescribed the birth control pill for assorted reasons, and it does an excellent job of fulfilling its job. However, we don’t often think about where those artificial hormones go when we’re done with them. What if they resurface again in an unexpected way? The…

is believed to be ¼ of the overall body weight. This liver not only stores oil to help reduce the need to feed but it allows the basking shark to have plenty of energy all the time. This shark has an amazing food web. All they really eat is zooplankton. They really don't eat other fishes or sea animal even though it’s the second biggest mammal in the sea. The basking shark liver does most of the work it gives it energy and its nutrients that it needs. The basking shark can go a pretty long…

by the ocean a. Warmer water causes hurricanes and tropical storms b. Extreme weather is most likely caused by warmer ocean temperatures 3. Species need to adapt or they will not survive a. Rising deeper sea temperatures causing coral to die b. Zooplankton grow faster than plankton thus disrupting food chain Transition: “One of the biggest consequences of the rising ocean temperatures is the effect it has on the ice caps.” B. Melting ice sheets 1. Ice sheets in both Antarctica and Greenland…

zones create the limnetic zone). The littoral zone is the most shallow part of the lake and closest to the shore. It also contains the highest amount of dissolved oxygen and sunlight. The trophogenic and tropholytic zones contain phytoplankton and zooplankton, respectively. Lastly, the profundal zone is the deepest area of a lake, and is inhabited mostly bacteria and fungi that do not require much dissolved oxygen and light to survive (Aune et al., 2016). In the lab, we looked at water samples…

advantage to hunt for food. 3 types: Atlantic bluefin tuna Pacific bluefin tuna Southern bluefin tunaAtlantic bluefin: found in Mediterranean Sea and Atlantic Pacific bluefin: found in the Pacific Ocean Food: They eat anything that is small such as zooplankton when they are young. The bigger they are, they eat things such as smaller fish, eels, mackerel.Bluefin Tuna move to another area so that they can reproduce. It helps with reproducing as well as the what they need for food. Method of…

Based on the analysis of the food web, it has been determined that the pond is a healthy and stable ecosystem, although a keystone species is not present. This disproves the hypothesis formed earlier in this lab that stated, “The pond is not ecologically stable and there is no keystone species. The pond does not seem to be biodiverse, and the relative population sizes of the organisms appears to be low, based on visual observations. A keystone species also does not appear to be present, or else…
