Mussel

range begins in San Mateo County in northern California and extends down to Santa Barbara County in southern California. The diet of these generalist sea otters consists mainly of sluggish fishes and marine invertebrate such as sea urchins, clams, mussels, and snails, and their food resources are abundant. Current threats to southern sea otters include infectious diseases, contaminants, oil spills, fisheries interactions, predators, boat strikes…

Fisheries and wildlife is a very large part of people’s lives. People do it for a living, they do it for fun, or they do it for a job. But how will we know these people will behave honestly? Well, we do have laws put in place to deter these people from misbehaving, but who’s to say they do or do not? That’s what a game and fish warden is for. They are the enforcing of these wildlife laws to help conserve all the woodland creatures and fish of the waters. They make sure someone bags 3 pheasants…

1. Identify and discuss three reasons that endangerment occurss. One of the reasons that endangerment occur is habitat destruction. Habitat destruction has gone over to the top because mostly all the wild animals has really what to call a home. Man kind has wiped out their homes for our house,food markets and many more things that can provide us but not them. A second one would be illegal hunting. Illegal hunting had made many animals died because of this type of game. For putting them up as…

Did you know about an indian tribe that lived in northern California? The Shasta Native Americans lived in northern California and Oregon. At the top of the map in purple is where they lived. They were already there when a spanish explorer claimed the land for Spain in the mid-1500s. They lived in cedar bark teepees and grass mat houses in the summer and winter pit houses in the winter. I made a winter pit house. The cedar bark teepees were semi-permanent shelters with very long strips of…

1. Define introduced species. This is what you would call an invasive animal or species that have infiltrated a different ecosystem than their own. The animals can accidentally or intentionally enter a dissimilar ecosystem. 2. In this Virtual Lab, one of the introduced species did not become a problem to the area. Identify that species and explain why it did not pose a threat to the ecosystem. The experiment with the Tulips and the Vole is the situation that resulted in a non-threating…

means both “skewer” and “sword,” so when you consume a souvlakia you are eating a “little sword.” Traditionally souvlakia are cooked with meat and vegetables, but I also really enjoy them made with seafood—use any kind of fish, shrimp, octopus, or mussels. You may be surprised to see fish sauce used in the recipe, something that is usually associated with Asian cooking. However, the ancient Greeks used to manufacture a liquid from fermented fish called garos, and it was one of the main sauces…

his 6th concussion ending his football career. Now since he has been teaching young kids the affects of getting a concussion. The third example is of many people around the world who follow this motto. Such as soccer players who play with torn mussels volleyball players who play with sprained wrists, or basketball players who play with broken fingers of a broken hand. I do believe that the "No Pain, No Gain" motto attitude is harmful. This can be shown by the 3 examples above. People who…

Drug discovery represents one of the most promising and highly visible outcomes of marine biotechnology research (Mishra, 2007).Bio-chemicals produced by marine invertebrates, algae and bacteria are very different than those from related terrestrial organisms and thus offer great potential as new classes of medicines. To date, examples of marine-derived drugs include an antibiotic from fungi, two closely related compounds from a sponge that treat cancer and the herpes virus, and a neurotoxin…

Last month, the trump administration refused to list the Pacific walrus as an endangered species. The need to place these walruses on the list has become a growing focus for many conservation biologists due to the uncertainties surrounding how climate change could impact walrus populations. The Pacific walrus depends on the currently receding sea ice for breeding, feeding, nursing their young, and avoiding predators. With the current climate change models, its predicted that the sea ice the…
