Fish sauce

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…

To kill or to be extinct? Zalophus Californianus Californianus are known as the California sea lions one out of the two species found in the washington state. The columbia river salmon and steelhead are facing a serious threat of extinction due to the sea lions since 2002, the salmon and steelhead population have been decreasing over the years and many are worried about the extinction of the salmon and steelhead. The population of the california sea lions has been increasing since the 1980’s in…

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…

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…
