Fish farming

Water Far in the ocean, I was on a small boat with four people to go diving. Jamie, Bob, Matt, and Mike were there to support me, but they didn’t want to go in the water. Before I dived in the water, Matt had given me a pocket knife for defence, but I figured it wouldn’t work, considering there were gigantic creatures in the ocean. I dived into the water, but my heart was pounding, and then, I saw a large grey streak dashing by. Then it came back, and the closer it got to me, the faster I swam…

the Puelo River, in Chile. The Atlantic salmon does not strike at the fly thinking it is food, but rather is attacking thus, protecting the female and the nest. He also strikes at the fly as it becomes an irritant to him. Most of the time the fish will be Atlantic Salmonresting out of sight in deep water and at certain times of the day, usually in mourning before noon and later in the day at late afternoon, just before the sun sets they become stirred. The salmon will show it self in a…

(Gardner, Fraser, Milloy, Frost, 2005). However, it is important to remember for such a large industry, a large amount of waste is produced as well. Currently in Nova Scotia, the majority of fish waste produced from processing plants is being composted. Most of it making its way to a landfill. In a landfill, this fish waste can settle, and leach into the ground, contaminating the soil and could leach into a nearby water…

The Steinhart aquarium and the Monterey Bay Aquarium had very different approaches in presenting marine life to the public. The Steinhart aquarium often had open aquariums where visitors had to look down to see the marine life, while the Monterey Bay Aquarium more notably has large closed tanks in a dimly lit setting. I think the Steinhart aquarium seen at the California Academy of Sciences shows marine life as more apart of humanity because there is a lack of separation between the marine life…

In the article from the Washington Post on MSN’s website, Amy Wang describes a unique phenomenon occurring off the coasts of Florida and Georgia: American alligators are eating sharks and stingrays, unusual prey for the species to eat. Wang goes on to describe the methods by which researchers are studying the diets of the alligators (by pumping their stomachs) and some of the details possibly contributing to the reason why the species is beginning to go out of the freshwater habitats in which…

the oceans are affecting the reproductive cycles of fish across the world. Each day sound pollution grows more and more due to the rising amount of ships and boats travelling via sea, the only way to stop this is to stop the ships, which is unlikely any time soon. Unfortunately out of our control is also the sound effects that earthquakes and natural disasters have on the reproductive cycle of marine…

Whale sharks are the ocean’s largest fish, yet they are still endangered despite their size. Humanity’s affects on the whale shark population eventually cascade, having a critical affect on all other species and a single human behavior such as irresponsible plastic use or oil drilling can have a vast impact on the overall ecosystem. Whale sharks positively benefit the health of the ocean by cleaning the ocean of plankton. Generally, whale sharks are primarily endangered due to humanity’s greed,…

in 1954 to counteract the drastic drop in native fish stocks caused by overfishing (Lowe 2000). ¨They originally comprised 80% of the total fish biomass in Lake Victoria, but have now decreased to less than 1% offish catches from the Kenyan waters of the lake¨ (Lowe 2000). A 2003 study in the journal Nature examined algae records from the bottom of Lake Tanganyika and found that over the last century, warming waters have driven down the lake’s fish yield by 30 percent (Achieng 2006). ¨The flesh…

Fish In A Tree After reading Fish In A Tree I have many thoughts about it. To start with Fish In A Tree is a kids novel by Lynda Mullaly Hunt published in the year 2015.
