Octopuses have been known as great escape artists, with the ability to squeeze through smallest holes and crevices to escape predators at any given time. Both of…

Figure 1: The Effect of Species Type on Mass Specific Gill Arch Surface Area The sample size of our experiment was 4 groups (N=4). The height of the bars represent the average mass specific surface area for the four classes from whom the data was collected from, in cm2/kg. The first bar represents the average mass specific surface area for the species Scomber scombrus, or the Mackerel Fish. The second bar represents the average mass specific surface area for Merluccius bilinearis, or the Silver…
