Fish farming

If you're a beginner to the world of fly fishing, you might not understand the best way to catch and release your fish. The fish's survival depends on your skill in catching the fish quickly as well as how you handle the fish while removing the hook. Prepare the Hook When you're practicing catch and release, you'll need to think about your hooks. Before heading to the water, you should remove the barbs from your current hooks, or purchase barbless hooks. To remove barbs from the hooks you…

The Crown of Thorns starfish (Acanthaster Planci) Anjali Barnes 2016 Ms. Lee 9X Acanthaster planci Introduction The Crown of Thorns starfish, or Acanthaster Planci, is one of the largest threats to the Great Barrier Reef. The starfish, also known as COTS, can have up to 21 arms, each with hundreds of toxic spines. They move by expanding and contracting these feet, and feed on hard coral. Abiotic features are non-living or physical factors and can have a large effect on the Great Barrier Reef…

with his mighty splashes, that were larger than any other splashes in the world. The Whale lived with a community of animals including sharks, octopuses, stingrays, dolphins, crabs, jellyfish, lobsters, eels, seals, starfish, sea turtles, clown fish, rainbow fish, and one little Sea Horse. The Whale bragged day ,after day, after day, about how he could make humungous splashes above the big blue sea, saying “I’m the best there ever was, and the defiantly the best there ever will be. You all wish…

I picked the aquatic biome; home to the predator that can smell one drop of blood 3 miles away, the predator that can sense the tiniest bit of blood in 25 gallons of water. The second biggest predatory fish in the ocean after the Killer Whale. The Great White Shark might be one of the most feared animals in the ocean and the world. Although it is said that the U.S and Australia are the most shark infested countries in the world Great Whites are of course found in other parts of the world as…

are wrong. There is more ways to fish other than just poking a hole through a worm and waiting for hours to have the chance to catch a small fish. Bank fishing, which is the lazy man’s fishing, consists of sitting on the bank of a river or lake and letting a worm bounce up and down on the bottom until a little panfish eats it. Fly fishing, which is a more advanced way to fish, is a way of presenting a tasty looking fly to a much smarter and more challenging fish to catch. Although people…

Braithwaite claims that fish feel pain. I absolutely agree with Braithwaite. Some people might think of fish as dumb animals,because they don't show much emotion when a hook is in their mouth or a spear is thru their heads. But this doesn't mean that fish cannot feel pain. I have gone fishing very many times and know the empty looking face that most fish make after you reel them in, and the flapping gasping for water look while lying on the deck. However Even though fish may not seem to express…

Good afternoon, everyone. Well, with some of you about to go out on field work, it's timely that in this afternoon section. I will be sharing my ideas about the reason why groups of whale and dolphins sometimes swim ashore from the sea right on to the beach, and most often die in what are known as mass strandings. Unfortunately, this type of event is a frequent occurrence on some of the location that you will be travelling to. While sometimes the tide goes out suddenly confusing the animals.…

Fishing, it’s fun right, not if this happens it’s not! One summer afternoon I went fishing off a dock with my Uncle Andy and my cousin Logan. At first it was just us fishing, a nice family get together. A little bit later Mom and Dad came to watch us fish. We kept fishing and fishing and then it happens! I sat down unaware of the fishhook stuck in the cracks of the docks. As I put my hand down I felt a little pain. Then it got stronger and stronger and then in a flash I pushed myself up…

installation of "fish elevators". Fish elevators are a more natural way for the fish to make the crossing past the dam. The elevator has different sections that are increasing in height. The salmon use their natural ability to jump to progress higher and higher until they have reached the other side of the dam. However these contraptions are not for every dam. Only smaller dams can benefit from this process. Larger dams such as the Grand Coulee Dam cannot make use of fish elevators. Fish…
