Chemosynthetic Goldfish

It was inevitable. After living in a world where only a few select people cared about how we were affecting our surroundings with our carelessness and inability to think of future generations, it’s all gone. Now, only a few species remain.
Hypotheses:
Sun Basking Shark: With the absence of fish in the sea, these sharks had to find a means to survive and that meant looking to the sun. These sharks were genetically modified by some of the last humans to have green fins that contained a significant amount of chlorophyll so they would be able to survive as long as the sun was around.
Chemosynthetic Goldfish: Also a production of the last humans, these fish were genetically engineered to produce food from the pollution that would eventually kill

Their presence in the world keeps the population of Sun Bathing Sharks down and ensures the spread of Aquawheat to to new waters.
Aqua Wheat: With much of the world’s surface now being covered in filthy and polluted water, Aqua wheat had to adapt with the help of humans to live solely in the water. Scientists studied Algae and were able to give this new plant much of the same qualities as it, specifically the ability to strive in water. Aqua Humanoids play a large role in spreading it throughout the new world.
Terrestrial Humanoids: These homo sapien like creatures were a mistake. They’ve evolved to have four arms in a span of such a short amount of time because of radiation poisoning. These four arms allow these new humans to hunt their main source of nutrition, the Fuzzy Hamster or Cutus Pufiratus and the ever elusive and tasty Butter-Roach.
Tentacled Aqua Humanoids: These deformed humanoids are the unfortunate result of devolution and deformity. Living underwater and completely disconnected from one another by a lack of any communication (at least known to us), they swim around the ocean floor occasionally coming to the surface to feed on their only form of nutrition besides water, aqua

They fear humanoids like their ancestor, the common house spider, and remain in hidden caves underwater when they’re not feeding. In the last days of a sustainable earth, scientists realized the large impact that spiders make on ecosystems and genetically modified them to grow quite large and develop fins to survive in the new world.
Green-haired rats: Despite attempts to completely eliminate the entire species from existence, rats lived into the new world. However, these new rats have evolved to absorb nutrients from the sun, meaning that it’s much harder to kill them with a lack of food and that as long as the sun is around, they’ll be around. No one on earth besides their main predator, the ten-legged flea likes them.
Parasitic Mosquitos: The creature that is the source of many nightmares for modern day humanoids. Much like the Green-haired rat, they serve no purpose on the planet and almost everyone would be better off if they all suddenly disappeared. It seems as though the end of the world couldn’t kill off one of the most obnoxious creatures on

    In contrast to most sea creatures, these unique critters “live on the skeletons of whales, which drift down to the ocean floor” (Ennis). Because zombie worms are attached to the whale bones, they must use them to contribute to their diet. These ocean animals “lack a mouth and gut, [so] the worms drill into the bones [to] extract the stored nutrients” (Ennis). Without this adaptation, zombie worms would starve and die. Zombie worms also have an additional way to digest food through their bodies; they “[use] a process called symbiosis, in which the worms depend on the internal bacteria to digest the fats and oils extracted from their whale-bone diet” (Ennis).…

    Fishermen harmfully reap the fins of sharks for money. This cruelty is only for one meal called shark fin soup. It is an old asian delicacy that is still around today. If shark finning continues and sharks are led to extinction, the ocean would not operate correctly causing the ecosystem to be put off balance. Shark finning is banned in some countries and it has improved their surrounding areas.…

    With having a biologist that specializes in sharks support Stewart’s facts and main points, this makes the documentary much more believable and credible. Rather than just speaking of past studies though, Stewart also takes the documentary to the Galapagos Island, where he produces a live study on hammerhead sharks just for his documentary. While filming for his movie underwater, he shows the audience how hammerhead sharks are actually afraid of humans. Whenever he would approach with his camera, they would shy away until they began to trust him enough to let him film. Doing a live study just for his documentary makes him even more credible, because it actually visually proves his facts, rather than just him speaking facts to the camera.…

    It is astonishing how humans believe they can take over the world and that all other living organisms are below them. When they go out and destroy these poor creatures, they do not take into consideration that sharks have a slow growth and reproductive rate, which makes them highly susceptible to extinction and it is difficult for many sharks to replenish their populations as quickly as they are being diminished (Fairclough). Sharks do not lay hundreds of eggs like uninformed people may assume; they give birth to one pup. If that did not make it difficult enough to replenish a population, the gestation period can be up to two years long! One baby every two years is not enough to restore a population.…

    The shark is still alive when it is thrown back into the ocean. The poor creature is forced to sink down to the bottom of the ocean, all while being unable to move, and is now an open target for smaller fish to come and feast on. The great white sharks are very much endanger when it comes to shark finning, with their fins fetching the highest prices. Great whites are also in danger of getting tangled in fishing nets along with shark nets, which are designed to protect swimmers from sharks. The main issue, with shark nets, is that they are protecting swimmers from a rare occurrence, all while suffocating and harming the shark.…

    In the wild, orcas spend about 95 percent of their time submerged and find shade in the depths of the ocean. But the tanks in SeaWorld are way too shallow even though they are about 40 feet deep. The depth are not enough to protect them from the harsh elements. In order to hide the sunburns from the public, they are shielded with black zinc oxide which matches their skin (10 things you didn’t know about SeaWorld, 1). When it is usually mating season, orcas choose their mates in the wild.…

    These animals aren’t happy or healthy and keeping them in captivity is inhumane. Consequently, people must boycott companies like SeaWorld so that captive orcas can be set free into sanctuaries. People could still learn about these amazing animals if they were in sanctuaries, but the killer whales could live in a more natural and more humane environment. After all, how would a human feel if forced to live life in a closet with two other people, frozen dinners being thrown at them for doing somersaults and…

    They produce seventy-five percent of the oxygen we breathe on land. Without sharks, the plankton eater population would grow out of control consuming the plankton we depend on for survival. According to sharksavers.org, “Sharks groom many populations of marine life to the right size so that those prey species don’t cause harm to the ecosystem by becoming too populous.” Several scientific studies validate that the reduction of sharks would result in loss of economically important shellfish and fish, such as tuna, “that maintain the health of coral reefs.” (sharksavers) The ocean is the life support system of the planet, it regulates climate and feeds many people. If we kill off the sharks we subsequently kill off our main source of oxygen. Dr.…

    Shark finning is a process of removing the fins from a live Shark and casting the animal back into the ocean, leaving them to die several days later (Fairclough, Caty. "Shark Finning: Sharks Turned Prey"). The rest of the Shark is then left because Shark meat is of low economic value and takes up too much space for the fisher to take them back. In addition, Shark meat also contains urea, which turns to ammonia once the Shark has died and contaminates other fish. This is done so the fins can be sold on the black market, fins are sold for about $650 per kilogram (about 2.2 lbs) so they are in high demand ("Shark Truth."…

    It is only America that recently implemented its own regulations to address this act. A worldwide determination is urgently required to stop the rampant act of shark finning especially due to their position in the food chain amongst sea creatures. In Massachusetts, violation of the finning law leads to a fine of up to $1000 or two months in prison and in addition to that confiscation of one’s fishing license. The law was passed on the basis of the state’s long strive to animal and environmental…
