Anti Jellyfish Predators

Improved Essays
As they approached the beach, they saw the purple flags and no swimming signs. They asked the lifeguard why the purple fag was up, and the lifeguard said one word, “jellyfish.” Jellyfish can paralyze and kill other small animals, and sometimes they kill humans. Most jellyfish are transparent and have very long tentacles. These are good qualities for a predator. However, now you can buy anti-jellyfish sunscreen. Many cultures cook and eat jellyfish, and we are using them in medical research.

    SeaWorld is a multi-million dollar corporation that serves as home for 23 of arguably some of the oceans’ most beautiful creatures. Blackfish is trying to change that with a very captivating argument. Although emotionally compelling, Blackfish is an invalid argument against captivity, It offers a solution and demonstrates practicality, which makes it an argument of policy. However, it is not a valid one, for it lacks a strong and reliable foundation of evidence to support its reasoning for the solution it demands. Blackfish presents former trainers and scientific representatives who present facts about SeaWorld, as well as scientific claims that object to captivity.…

    Sea Otters Pros And Cons

    Huffington Post’s article authoritatively described the definition of a trophic cascade as an ecological phenomenon triggered by the addition, or removal of top predators and involving reciprocal changes in the relative populations of predator and prey through a food chain, which often results in dramatic changes in ecosystem structure and nutrient cycling (huffingtonpost.com).” For that reason, in today’s society we have witnessed numerous trophic cascades that occur all over the world, specifically sea otters, blue crabs, jaguars, and as we discussed in class wolves that illustrate predators that decimate their prey because of the food chain (quora.com).” First of all, in the example of the sea otters, sea otters eat urchins. Sea urchins are omnivorous animals and therefore eat both plant and animal matter. The sea urchin mainly feeds on algae on the coral and rocks, along with decomposing matter such as dead fish, mussels, sponges, barnacles, and kelp.…

As a child, I admire the polar bears and penguins behind the glass, the splashing of Shamu’s tail towards the splash zone, and the ride of Journey to Atlantis. I never really thought about if the killer whales in a big concrete pool were happy at such a young age.

    There are also other results in addition to the jellyfish’s light scaring predators away. “These flashing lights might attract an even bigger predator that could then eat the fish that was about to eat the jellyfish” (Jonssen).

If deep-sea jellyfish did not have these qualities, they would not be able to…
