Fish Kill is the process in which dead or dying fish seen in a body of water. The article released by Florida LAKEWATCH says, “There are many factors that contribute to fish kill.” Some factors are a result of human interference and the environment itself causes is another cause of fish kill. This paper will address the different factors leading to fish kill as well as other information about fish kill. Fish kill can be a natural process as well as a human error, either way the result puts an impact in ecosystem. While many residents in Florida have seen, what the results of a fish kill look like but many do not understand why it happens. The belief that we are responsible for the fish kill is not true; the article addressed the matter and stated that most fish kills that occur in Florida are natural. There are also different sizes of fish kill that occur, there are small and large fish kills. Along with the size of fish kill, the fish kill is difficult to prevent as the body of water increases. They are also difficult to predict. The good thing about fish kills are that the ecosystem can recover from fish kills on their own. Fish lay many eggs and can escape to refuge area if the water conditions got worse. The first type of natural occurring fish kill is from a result of low dissolved oxygen levels. This influences fish kill rate because higher oxygen levels in the water means more fish can coexist in the same location. a sudden decrease in oxygen levels and the fish…

Problem What is the aquatic health of the Nequasset lake tributaries as analyzed through chemical and biological parameters as well as physical habitat assessment? What factors, both natural and human-influenced, contribute (positively or negatively) to the health of the Nequasset lake tributaries? Background Information Weather or not we realize it, as people that (presumably) live in the Bath area, the streams that flow into Nequasset are very important to our survival. They are numerous, and…

Our task was to figure out a way to stop, or decrease, a certain situation that is affecting the water quality of a particular body of water in our neighborhood. The body of water that we will be focusing on today, will be the Foxstone Creek in Vienna Virginia. Although there are many different problems that have occurred in this creek, the problem that we noticed that is the most impactful, is the amount of erosion on the creek. Erosion is the process by which the surface of earth is being…

They slide down mud and snow slide. Also they will always travel somewhere with a shortcut. If there is a long way and a short way they will take the short way unlike some animals who will not know if there is a short or long way. These otter are found in the Yellow Stone National park. Yellow Stone National park is home to many birds, mammals and many wildflowers. Four-Fifths of the park is home to animal life. The Freshwater Otters along with many other small animal live in the park. The…

This laboratory experiment was conducted in Greenfield Station Genesee Creek River to determine the environment’s effect on the amount of diverse biological communities in a lotic river. Shredders are macroinvertebrates that feed on coarse particle organic material (CPOM). Macroinvertebrates usually stay in the same habitat and do not migrate, which may be due to them being trapped or frequently receiving a good source of food. They are also an essential part of the freshwater ecosystem by…

The Meramec River is located in the upper Ozark Highlands in central-eastern Missouri and spans 218 linear miles before discharging into the Mississippi River in St. Louis (Blanc 1999, Thom et al, Figure 1). This watershed is dominated by Oak-Hickory forests and karst topography; and the Meramec River follows a riffle-run pattern of stream flow (Blanc 1999, Thom et al). Before people dominated the landscape, the driving forces of nature shaped the topography and the subsequent ecosystems that…

southeast it seems apparent that most of the drainage channels would run between the depressions. An example of this would be the watershed that leads into Ives Cove. It passes underneath a trail, through a wetland area, and into a pond near the coast. The drainage channel is fed from two drumlins on both sides and a gully located above the wetland. Current developments near the shoreline seem to influence the stream direction, perhaps damaging the pond below.…

Title: Ecological Interactions of Living Organisms in Beaver Creek Statement of the Problem: How do the organisms in Beaver Creek interact with the biotic and abiotic portions of the ecosystem? The sample was taken from Beaver Creek (a tributary of Tookany Creek) in Glenside, Montgomery County, PA. The pH of the creek was 5.5, and the stream velocity was detectable (greater or equal to walking speed). In the area of collection, the stream width was one meter and the depth was 14 cm. There…

Tees runs east from its source at Cross Fell to its mouth in the North Sea. The River runs over three courses The Upper Course In the upper course of a river gradients are steep and river channels are narrow. Vertical erosion is greatest in the upper course of a river. As the result of this typical features include steep valley sides, interlocking spurs, rapids, gorges and waterfalls. When a river runs over alternating layers of hard and soft rock, rapids and waterfalls may form. Waterfalls…

and ugly, yellow bubbles seem to blister its surface” (30). When looking at photographs of the Yellow River, the waterway is a brownish-red tint, and looks like humans tossed dead carcasses of animals and other individuals right into the stream, easily hiding evidence. The yellow tones developed from the silt that absorbed the toxic chemicals. Because of the lack precaution the workers used, the water’s unnatural look created major complications for China’s water source. The mixture of lethal,…
