Fishing

The best way to determine which concentration of salt water is ideal for hatching brine shrimp is to create a controlled experiment. This experiment would utilize four containers of water including; a 2% salt water concentration, a 4% salt water concentration, a 6% salt water concentration, and a container of fresh water, to set a base number of brine shrimp hatchlings for the experiment. Besides containing the salt water concentration, and the brine shrimp eggs, each container should receive…

Despite tepid enthusiasm from my friends, I was going to do it; I was going to start a high school club. With a free hand, I grasped a clipboard with at least a half dozen signatures while I cut gooey slices of fresh chocolate cake with the other. Originally, our mission was to save marine animals, an ambitiously lofty idea. Problem was, I had an abundance of ideas, but no clue how to pursue them. Does our club protect marine life from overfishing? Exploitation? Commercialization?…

During a trip to California, we took the opportunity to visit the Birch Aquarium at the Scripps Oceanography Institute with our cousins. During that trip, we saw plenty of marine life, as well as looking at plenty of issues concerning the ocean. Here, I will go over some of the issues and marine life we explored at the Birch Aquarium. When we first walked in, a man with a strange contraption, two plastic boxes on a table, said, “Want to see a flood?” Interested, we walked over and saw that…

DTE FUN ZONE This is the stuff I think should go where the fallen DTE site is. I say they should put a beach in because in the summer a place to relax and have fun. Another thing i think should be there is an arcade for gaming. A park would be a good choice because it would have a food stand and a play set too. My main choice to put there is a boat marina with a free fish cleaning spot. My most important element is the Marina because that would be the main attraction to get more and more…

This week the central theme of the text is to follow the shifts in the main food source and the dependence on tools, weapons and etc. For example, The Lummi were dependent on salmon for thousand of years for an important resource the Lummi built logjams in salmon breeding areas due to eroded lands to keep their main resource. With the Northwestern Indians strong cultural, economic and political ties to salmon reaching beyond the borders decreasing challenges to their main food supply was…

The height of Louie’s determination began as he came free from restraints binding him to a sinking plane and out into the open waters of the Pacific. Immediately he was forced into leadership by his captain, Russell Allen Phillips, demanding his critical state left him in no position to lead. “ He could see that Louie had a nasty cut on his finger, near his USC ring, but was otherwise unhurt and lucid. He asked Louie to take command, and Louie agreed,” (132). Though his other crew members…

It was 1968. After signing a land lease with the Colorado River Indian Tribes (CRIT), my family would ultimately trade highly urbanized southern California for the vast and barren desert of Parker, Arizona. It was only a few hours away, yet worlds apart. To give you an idea of the landscape, Major General George Patton trained his troops in the vicinity for warfare during World War II. The most extremes of the desert could be found in this region and it would become my new normal. The caveat?…

The manta ray is a flat fish that lives in salt water. The Ray is 7-9 metres wide and is around 1350 kg. The fish eats plants and smaller fish. Although manta rays do not attack humans, they would be atrocious pets due to their size, habitat and extreme living. After looking deeper into these reasons, it will be safe to say that the manta ray should be no pet. One reason that the manta ray would make a bad pet is because of it's size. Firstly, the ray would be hard to transport. Secondly, the…

Knowing how to care for beta fish involves a lot more than just changing the water once a week and feeding the fish twice a day. No, there is indeed a lot more to knowing how to care for our little marine friends than that. Of course, if you really wanted to, you could just get by on just the bare minimum needed to keep the fish alive, such as keeping it in a simple fish bowl and going through the motions to feed and clean up after your fish. But if you want to extend your beta fish's…
