next one, they are the second top predator. They do get eaten but, they eat a bunch of fish. They are very active hunters and eat all day. One of the very few things that can eat it is a grouper.…

Introduction There are over several hundred species of sharks that range in size from less than 10 inches to over 20-30 feet long. The largest fish and shark in the world is the whale shark, which is believed to be a length of 30 feet long. Sharks are often stereotyped as dangerous and violent, and while in some cases this is true, but in today’s world they are captured and killed annually for a demand in their fins which leads to overfishing and illegal fishing, depleting shark populations…

by a bunch of little coral patches (Chickens). The spot can be reached by snorkeling tour boat from Islamorada. This snorkeling site is notorious for its great live hard corals and beautiful topography. There is a plethora of little and medium size fish. You have great odds to see turtles and rays in this area as well. The average depth is 15 feet. Alligator Reef Lighthouse is another perfect Islamorada snorkeling destination. Opposite to the previous 2 snorkeling spots this site is located at…

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,…

supplies that we needed in order for us to use such as fishing rods, and lures. On that morning, my brother and I began by getting everything on to the truck that we would use to go fishing, while my father was calling his friend in order for us to fish on his ranch that was just outside from Denton county, and my mother was preparing lunch for us. Once we all finish preparing everything for the trip we began to head down the road on my father’s truck. It was going to be an hour drive tours my…

Bluefin tuna have suffered major population declines due to overfishing. Recent scientific research discusses various ways to implement management techniques to target the rapid declining population levels of Bluefin Tuna. However, much of this research demonstrates a substantial level of uncertainty about the basic biology of Bluefin Tuna. In particular, a lack of knowledge about the migratory patterns of Bluefin Tuna hinders the success of many proposed management techniques. Thus, it is…

I can relate this to the real world because Cole Matthews was persevering himself, through a lot if that was anyone in this class i can guarantee they would not survive or persevere as much as Cole…

or the forest occurs, it is usually the water quality or fish population that determines whether they can recover. Both these processes’ strength depends on where they occur, and the biogeography of the area they are in. Coral reefs that are not located by a ravine run off do not have the issue of sewage, or fertilizer run offs. So while their effects are minimized, in the Great Barrier Reef it can be seen that a reduction in herbivorous fish can still lead to increases in cover of algae, even…

to plants in the optimum 5.5 to 7.0 range, making the difference in the pH not effective to plants. These Ph levels also have no effect on the fish, but if the levels were under 4.5 Young fish and aquatic insects at an immature stage of their life could die from extreme sensitivity to a lower level pH levels. However, if the pH levels were between 9-14 fish can be harmed…
