LENGTH -WEIGHT RELATIONSHIP AND CONDITION FACTOR 6.1. INTRODUCTION Length-weight relationship studies of fishes are considered as an important tool for understanding of fish. Length is a linear measure (in centimeter) and the weight of a fish (in gram) is approximately equal to its volume (cubic centimeter). Hence, weight of a fish is a function of length. The relationship can be expressed by the hypothetical…

“Win the Fiery Antidote”: a Feminist Approach to Christina Rossetti’s Goblin Market In a time when women did not have major roles in literature or their daily lives, Christina Rossetti’s powerful poem Goblin Market is published to empower women of the Victorian Era. This poem is about two sisters, Lizzie and Laura, who live alone in the middle of the woods. They go into the woods every day to get water from the river, where they encounter goblin men selling fruits. After Laura tries…

The influence of land use patterns on eutrophication in the Ribeira do Iguape watershed. The case study by Cunha, Bottino and Calijuri (2010), examined how land use patterns within the Ribeira do Iguape watershed, Sao Paulo, Brazil, with varied levels of anthropogenic interference influenced eutrophication variables (total suspended solids (TSS), total phosphorus (TP), chlorophyll-a (Chl-a) and total nitrogen (TN)) ranges in three rivers (Canha, Pariquera-Acu and Jacupiranguinha Rivers).…

vegetation, acting as flood protection areas, trapping sediment and preventing erosion (though the roots of riparian plants) before they reach the water course, helping maintain local water table levels, shading by the riparian plants and keeping stream temperatures low during the summer for the fish, acting as a corridor for land mammals (e.g. bears, deer, squirrels), and overall maintaining biological diversity. b) When assessing the condition of a riparian zone, good indicators include the…

In this case study, scientists researched Lepomis microlophus (redear sunfish), Lepomis macrochirus (bluegill sunfish), and Microterpus salmoides (largemouth bass) that were collected from control ponds, natural lakes, and stormwater ponds in Orlando Florida. The fish were analyzed heavy metals such as zinc, lead, copper, cadmium, and nickel. The purpose of the study was to determine if the fish from the stormwater ponds had higher concentrations of these metals, and if there was a difference…

they were grateful for the first winter in their new camp. The Seneca came to help them cut poles for the longhouse and strip bark. Ahmeya and Mahonoy gathered bittersweet vines along with the others the women and men used as lashing. With so many hands helping out it wasn't long before Mahonoy and Ahmeya had a new roof over their heads. The Lenape were welcomed whole heartedly by their Seneca Indian friends, though the Lenape were considered a lower status than they, in the Iroquois Nation. The…

On this weekend, our leader Mario had selected Red Box Canyon which is situated on the West Fork of the San Gabriel River. We were headed for The Valley Forge Campground. A round trip hike of around six miles in and out. We had planned to stay over night and pack out on Sunday. We had a full group with us, besides ourselves, there was Ralph and his brother, Kevin, Jim Spencer and his son Tim, and Mark Cook. This is an excellent trail shaded by a forest canopy of oak,spruce, and alders.The trail…

nature of the ponds, and the quieter nature of the streams, diversity of life is able to flourish. It is notable that North American streams are more diverse than many other similar types of streams found in different countries. “the darters and minnows (particularly the genera Etheostoma and Notropis) have undergone great diversification in the small streams of North America, resulting in higher local diversity than is found in comparable streams of Europe” (Allan and Flecker 1993). For sure…

Lick Creek Park is located in southeast College Station, TX, and consists of 515 acres of habitats associated with the Post Oak Savanna and Hardwood Forest vegetation zone. The park transects the valley walls of the Lick Creek flood plain, a major tributary to the Navasota River. The park contains an “alluvial hardwood forest, open marshland, oxbow meadows, upland oak forest, and sandy prairies.”(Lick Creek Park 2016) Before the park was established, it was used to pasture cattle and thus was…

To perform the study, two streams were picked from different watersheds. In Carrollton, Georgia, Buffalo Creek from the Tallapoosa in the city limits was the first river we visited. This stream was next to paved roads, apartment complexes, and was located inside a paved park; urban area. The second stream, Yellow Dirt Creek, was located off a dirt road, with little to no houses close to it; rural area. This stream was part of the Chattahoochee watershed, and is in Roopville, Georgia. It is…
