Crustacean

on various crustaceans for food. Oceanic Whitetip Shark- Carcharhinus longimanus Found in the pelagic zone, these dominate feeding frenzy sharks are aggressive predators towards various fish and shipwrecks. They are commonly found accompanied by the pilot fish. They are endangered by overfishing for their fins for shark fin soup. Basking Shark- Cetorhinus Maximus Found in the coastal pelagic zone, the basking shark is a filter feeding animal that eat shrimps and other small crustacean. They…

CHAPTER 2 REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE AND STUDIES This chapter contains a compilation of local and foreign literatures and studies about the topic researched and are provided as a guide for the hypothesis of this research and served as a basis for the methodology of the study. These provided studies were also used to support the study and compare the difference of the present. DIABETES According to the International Diabetes Federation (2013), diabetes is one of the most challenging health…

Crayfish are freshwater crustaceans that use their claws called chelipeds,for warning off predators. When frightened, these crayfish lift their chelipeds to make threatening gestures, all while moving backwards or staying still. We examined how long it would take for crayfish to calm down once removed from the water and if the temperature had any influence to this observation. To do this, we placed two crayfishes in room temperature water and another two in colder water for an interval of five…

depths of the ocean from 900-4,190 metres. They live in very cold depths of every ocean. It eats snails, worms, bivalve, copepods, and different types of crustaceans. The niche the Dumbo Octopus has adapted to is the deep depths of the underwater ocean(s). A Dumbo Octopus is both prey and predator because they eat snails, worms, and other crustaceans. The Dumbo Octopuses predators are Killer Whales, and Sharks. Since it lives so deep, it has very few predators. The Dumbo Octopuses have adapted…

average of 84 pounds. They have black bodies, a large torso, white bellies, necks with a yellow that fades into a white, black flippers, and black feet. Their average lifespan is 20 years with their role being predator. Their diet consists of fish, crustaceans, and cephalopods. They live on the coast of Antarctica unlike other penguins. Though they have no set niche, currently when it is time to mate, they move to the mating grounds and mate. After the baby penguins are born, the penguins return…

The Caroni Swamp consists of mangrove forest, herbaceous swamp and tidal mudflats. It is the natural habitat and breeding site for the national bird, the scarlet ibis as well as a variety of marine fish, shell fish, crustaceans and wildlife such as snakes and caymans. The Caroni Swamp is one of thirteen (13) designated wildlife sanctuaries as well as one of the two Ramsar sites. Apart from being an ecosystem filled with a variety of animal life, it is also used to earn…

Aquaculture is the farming of aquatic organisms such as fish, crustaceans, mollusks and aquatic plants. Aquaculture involves cultivating freshwater and saltwater populations under controlled conditions, and can be contrasted with commercial fishing, which is the harvesting of wild fish (Task Sheet). Aquaculture is taking over the commercial fishing industry as it is proving to be a much more effective and efficient way of breeding and producing fish. Barramundi got their name from the…

The marine world is highly dependent on the activity of microbes in many different ways. Microbes in the ocean come in the form of autotrophs and heterotrophs and come in any of the three domains of Eukaryota, Archaea, and Bacteria. Members of these domains can range from all niches as producers at the bottom of the food change, critical gut microbes and decomposers. Arguably, somewhere these and more duties are most important is around the hydrothermal vents found at the bottom of the ocean.…

Most of the food Hawaiian monk seals consume are shallow coral reef fishes. These fishes make up 80% of their diet, cephalopods and crustaceans are the 20% of their diet that are consumed (Neubauer, n.d.). Hawaiian monk seals prey on about 40 species of marine animals that live in the coral reef. Most of the species are species of teleost fishes, crustaceans, and cephalopods. In the food web, the main predator of the Hawaiian monk seals are tiger sharks. Sharks are the main threat on these seals…

Adelie penguins are the smallest and the most common penguins in Antarctica they are about 27 inches tall and weigh 8-12 lbs, they have a white ring surrounding their eyes and looks like somewhat a tuxedo. Adelie eats fish, squid, krill and crustaceans, Adelie penguins can stay underwater for about 2-3 minutes and during those minutes they dive 40-50 meters depth. They have about 2 million pairs and their eggs take about 34-36 days to hatch and when the egg hatches the…
