Fish sauce

Every student has been taught something as simple as the food chain throughout their primary and secondary education. Yet it baffles me how when it is applied to real life people tend to not see the importance of preserving our oceans wildlife. I remember in my seventh grade science class learning about food chains and food webs. All of these animals rely on each other to survive. Ever since learning about something as simple as a food chain in middle school, I have been interested in the impact…

I sat across from him, not daring to look up. I stared at my fishing pole, dipping it in and out of the water like a fish flopping in and out of the ocean. The vibration on my lips distracted me from the situation at hand. The rain pounded on my fisherman’s hat, like a shower of bullets. I began to hum. A monotonous tune. Soon I caught a glimpse of Tim, he appeared distraught and confused. His eyes darted left, then right, up, then down, and up again. “What is he thinking about?” I thought to…

Waking up to the beautiful views of the Pacific Ocean, over four thousand miles away from home, and a six hour time difference. With my circadian rhythm out of sync, the excitement of new adventures and exploring the island world. Kauai, Hawaii was my adventure and after visiting almost every beach on the island, I was still unsatisfied and need to see and experience more, a new goal to conquer. Today would be filled with kayaking downstream in the Wailua River, to hike to Wailua Falls, and…

This situation has been documented in many scientific journals, such as one by Xenopoulos et al.," In rivers with reduced discharge, up to 75% (quartile range 4-22%) of local fish biodiversity would be headed toward extinction by 2070 because of combined changes in climate and water consumption, (Xenopoulos et al., 2005). Another paper by Verones et al., explains that when humans take water from wetlands, or convert wetlands…

Today I’m going to study the Tunisa. The Tunisa is a vicious amphibian predator. It lives in the South American rainforests and Pacific ocean, but today I’ll be in the rainforests to study one of these animals. It is quite hard to spot a Tunisa because of its camouflage but i've just spotted one. When it’s not blending into its surroundings its main color is green on its scales. On its underside it is a light brown. It also has a sharp point at its back end that is a tannish color. It has very…

Watching “Bigfoot Videos”, during my lunch hours, rekindled curiosity concerning the Bigfoot. Researching the subject, I found several accounts that claimed the Bigfoot would sometimes make what is known as a “whoop call.” Visiting Bigfoot research websites that contained alleged recordings of the “whoop call”, I said to myself, “next time I go out in the woods, I might try to imitate this call to see what might occur.” I did not think I would ever receive a response, but what the heck, it never…

Loch Ness (Great Britain) This is probably the world's most famous monster mystery. The Scottish lake Loch Ness has been talked about for centuries and under 1900s the place became famous as the home of the mysterious long-necked creatures. Loch Ness cuts like an arrow through Scotland and stretches from Inverness in the northeast to Fort William in the south. On November in 1933 took Hugh Gary a factory worker, what appears to be the first photograph of the beast. It took place where the river…

with other experienced fishermen, which was amazing, I enjoyed every bit of it and I was able to explore other distant places like Mauvee. Devils Lake is a great place to watch if you want to have great fun fishing. The water has as much variety of fish such as the white Bass, Northern pike, walleye, Crappie, and The water has been confirmed the "perch capital" of the United States. Fishing in generally, at Devils Lake still remained quite good both for shore fishermen and boaters. For shore…

The science field and discipline documented in this article is ichthyology, the study of fish. Sharks fall under the class of Chondrichthyans, while technically fish, sharks are specifically unique as their bodies are not equipped with calcium based bone structures but rather cartilaginous, a flexible connective tissue. Ichthyologist, or specifically shark biologist, study how sharks have evolved from their first appearance in the Silurian era to how they survived the meteor impact up to modern…

One tattoo I designed with care honors my grandfather who passed away when I was in the fifth grade. It was for him, and since I can’t always go to his grave very often, this is my small token to him. It says “Gone fishing” with a red, and white fishing bobber on the first G that has my grandpa’s birthdate, and date of death on it; then on the last g has a fishing hook. The I’s are dotted with flowers lastly a heart connecting the gone to the fishing. It is between my shoulder blades and doesn’t…
