    The steelhead trout used to be a native species to the Arroyo Del Valle in Pleasanton, California. Some are anadromous fish (i.e. they spend most of their time in freshwater developing after they hatch and then spend part of their later life in the sea or ocean) but others will remain in a freshwater stream or creek their entire lives. Typically, anadromous populations swim up the creek in winter to lay their eggs and then swim back, leaving the eggs to develop on their own. In order to lay their eggs, female steelhead trout need a stream riffle with a gravel bottom. The eggs then hatch, and the newborn steelhead (alevin) soon develop into fry that consume zooplankton for subsistence.…

    Striped bass eat a variety of foods, including fish such as alewives, flounder, sea herring, menhaden, sand lance, silver hake, tomcod, smelt, silversides and eels, as well as lobsters, crabs, soft clams, small mussels, sea worms and squid. The largest bass in Texas was caught on the Brazos river and it was 53 pounds. Stripped bass inhabit coastal waters up to 10 kilometers from shore and are often found in bays. In spring, they migrate to freshwater rivers and lakes to spawn.…

    Did Salmon Rule? Enquiring when intensive storage and sedentism began on the Northwest Coast Introduction Background Namu, located in the traditional territory of the Heiltsuk Nation on the central coast of British Columbia is an archaeological obscurity, as no one can be sure of the actual time frame of intensive storage and sedimentation occurrences. On the Northwest Coast "salmon remains, the representation of cranial elements versus vertebrae, mass capture technology and storage structures are being debated as evidence for large-scale salmon storage" (Cannon and Yang, 2006). The use of this knowledge is to acquire sustainable information of when the sedentism and storage actually began.…

    The Effects of Hatcheries on Wild Salmon Populations Salmonids are perhaps one of the most prominent fish in freshwater systems such as streams and lakes. Their success can be widely attributed to their anadromous lifestyle. However, despite their success, salmonid populations are on a continuous decline. Many species such as Pacific Salmon in Washington, Oregon, and California are critically endangered, while some are threatened with extinction due to several different factors (Moyle and Cech, 2004). In the wild, habitat destruction and land transformation of salmonid spawning locations have detrimentally affected wild populations.…

    The overfishing of the Nisqually River and transformation of tidal flats into farmland by colonists, nearly drove Chinook Salmon to extinction. The efforts of the Nisqually tribe to restore the natural habitat and the establishment of the Clear Creek Hatchery has prevented them from becoming extinct. In order to restore the Nisqually River there were political battles that had to be fought. The results of the restoration project has shown the extent of nature's resilience, leaving hope that we may be able to successfully restore the environment in areas in an effort to renew the resources we have depleted. Unfortunately, the success of the Salmon are still dependant upon the hatchery; however, there has been an increase in wild Salmon in the river.…

    Stocking trout wild trout streams is extremely harmful because of the impact it has on genetic variation. There are three trout species native to Colorado; the Colorado River Cutthroat, the Greenback Cutthroat, and the Rio-Grande Cutthroat. All three of these species were a product of the Pleistocene epoch: a turbulent time when enormous glaciers covered the northern border and into the western and eastern borders of Colorado. During these glacial periods, the ice front advanced and retreated in pulses, each lasting many thousands of years. With each advance, the courses of rivers and streams were shifted from north to south.…

    Even though fish hatcheries can try to restore the salmon fish population, they cannot do so with their current methods. Fish hatcheries currently feed fish by tossing food on the surface of the water where the fish go to eat it. After some time of learning that food is at the surface, young fish will be transported to rivers hungry and will go to the surface to find food. However, this causes at least 97% of young fish to be eaten by birds before they even make it to the ocean. By continuing to feed salmon and other fish in this detrimental…

    Almost all chemical reactions involve a loss or gain of heat. This change in heat is called enthalpy. The goal of this experiment is to calculate enthalpy for three different reactions. To calculate the enthalpy of a reaction, a calorimeter is used to measure the change in heat energy from mixing different substances. The change of temperature is found by comparing the change in temperature of the system to the temperature of the surroundings.…
