Fish

Culture Shock Whenever people travel overseas, they are like “a fish out of water”. Like the fish, they have been swimming in their own culture all their lives. A fish does not consider what water it is in. Likewise, people often do not think too much about culture they are raised in. Sadly, when people enter a new culture, they may feel like a fish out of water because everything (weather, landscape, language, food, dress, social roles, values, customs and communication) becomes totally…

phosphorus cycle, etc. My hypothesis for this experiment was that the terrestrial habitat would support the aquatic habitat by transmitting nutrients and other abiotic necessities, I also thought that the fish would survive and that my terrestrial plant would be better for wear instead the fish died and the plant ended up looking very droopy. The purpose of this experiment was to better understand the relationship between terrestrial…

water, Then bang your pole tip goes down, fish on. My cultural heritage is very interesting, We love to go on fishing trips whenever we can. We also are into our sports, Football games every weekend and soccer practice all week. To begin, fishing has always been something I have done. I have pictures of my dad and I fishing before I was even able to walk. My great grandpa used to have a cabin on the river near Mt.st Helens and he would fish all the time, but unfortunately when the…

sailed off into the gulf of mexico until we found a good spot to fish. We stopped the boat and I could smell the pungent smell of the salt water, I grabbed my fishing pole and put some bait on it and casted out into the blueish green water. My line just sat there for a while then I felt a something pulling on my line so I started reeling my line in as fast as I could. I was so excited but when I finally got my line in it wasn’t a fish I caught, it was a bunch of slimy green seaweed so I threw it…

that we can help protect them. Blue sharks are magnificent aquatic animals. One fact is they live in tropical waters (preferably cooler water). They have been seen on the edges of New England and South America. Another thing is they eat squid, bony fish, and carrion. Since sharks are at the top of the aquatic food chain they don’t have many predators except other sharks but, their biggest threat is humans. One interesting fact is that female sharks can give birth to 135 pups although the…

There’s only one non aggressive shark and that is the Carcharias taurus( aka Eugomphodus taurus) ,or in simpler words the Sand Tiger Shark(aka STS). Sand Tiger sharks are often seen near shorelines and in aquariums. Sand tiger sharks get their name because they live near shore lines, and they have big appetites like tigers. Sand Tiger Sharks have sharp teeth that you can see when its mouth is closed because its teeth point out from their jaws. Some people find the shark’s appearance…

got to see my grandparents and cousins over Thanksgiving. We faced divine meals and large amounts of desert, too! We also got to go fishing on a lake since my grandparents house lived right by it. The lake was PACKED with huge fish such as bass and catfish. We caught a few fish and decided to put them back. My brother got the biggest catch of the day because he caught a tremendous bass. It was so big that he could hardly lift it…

caused devastating issues to the environment and inhabitants. It has once been said that there is an unlimited supply of fish in the lakes, oceans and seas. Because these bodies of water are known to be extremely massive, it would be virtually impossible for it to be over fished. Right now, the world’s current population is over seven billion people, and the demand for fish has never been higher as even more common consumed marine organisms are getting depleted every year to the point of the…

in the middle of no-where. The toxic effects of plastics are not totally known but the group is finding that due to the small pieces it is difficult to see. Fish are attracted to the white or colored “nurdles”, possibly thinking it is fish eggs or food of some kind. The plastics are ingested and the toxicity is transferred to the fish tissue and magnifies up the food chain. Any oceanic animal that filters the ocean water through their system is affected by the plastics that have been broken…

they really are. White sharks are now becoming endangered thanks to humans that misunderstand them. According to Peter Benchmen’s article “Sharks” he stated that the only reason a shark may attack somebody is because the person looks like a wounded fish, turtle, and ect. to a shark. There are 375 species of sharks and only 24 species can be dangerous to humans. People just misunderstand things in this world like sharks. Sharks are just a normal creature that is just living like any other…
