However, there's some specialized night fishing equipment you will have to have to be successful. We are going to mention the use of night fishing lights today. Some on the more common kinds of night fishing lights that exist on the market today are many different different 12 volt fishing lights including…

invasive species. More so, the large amount of plastics found in the Earth’s oceans is killing large amounts of plankton, forcing the ocean to suffocate. Plankton is responsible for oxygenating the ocean through photosynthesize; however, the large build-up of gyres is blocking sunlight from getting to the plankton, preventing the organism from oxygenating the ocean. When large amounts of plankton die, it results in dead zones. Finally, scientists are now realizing that similar gyres observed in…

fertilized eggs go through early development and develop into larvae (Hunt.) As stated, even though the eggs and sperms are sometimes retained in the bursae, the fertilized eggs are released into the plankton and invest no parental care. When the eggs hatch, ophioplutei feed themselves for several weeks on plankton and go through metamorphosis to fully develop into adult brittle stars (Brittle…

Eddie: The Sea Turtle. Majestic, wonderful, and on this earth for over 100 million year. But, can its magnificent animals be in danger? In this documentary we talk about sea turtles and how plastic pollution affects the ecosystem of turtles. We will see why the turtles are so affected by pollution. But before that we will explain the interactions in the ecosystem of the sea turtle. Connor: A great interaction is the food chain. So, what is it that turtles eat? When turtles are omnivorous, they…

Marine debris can degrade marine habitats, endanger marine and coastal wildlife and pose threats to human health and safely. Scientists and explorers believe that the best way to accrue the Great Pacific Garbage Patch is to limit or eliminate the use of disposable plastics and increase the use of biodegradable resources in human’s everyday life. Since the Great Pacific Garbage Patch is so far from any country’s coastline, no nation takes the responsibility or provides the funding to clean it up…

Introduction Salmon are a very important fish species that contribute to the economy and play a very critical part in the food chain as they are the primary source of food for many animals and a food source for humans. Their annual migration is a miracle of nature that provides an insight into the yearly population and the abundance of their species (OLWQS 2014). However, the salmon population has decreased in the past few decades due to the effects of global warming causing changes within the…

and many other factors. Many pollution factors include chicken manure, smoke from many factories, and also pollution from ships travelling either in, or around, the bay. The roles of the bay are pretty obvious, the grasses feed the plankton, the oysters eat the plankton and the fish, eat the oysters. THe food chain is obviously…

Most animals especially marine species on the Earth right now are struggling to face one major problem that they cannot resist it from happens which is extinction of their own kinds. This issue is what most human just ignore about and they tend not to deal with it. History of Earth shows that there are five major extinction events and the fifth extinction is the one that killed every dinosaur on the Earth surface as a result of an asteroid. Earth is now in the eve of sixth extinction as humanity…

plants and plankton off of the bottom of the riverbeds. Bighead carp can grow to the largest size reaching up to over four feet in length are weigh over eighty pounds. Typically these fish can eat up to 40 percent of their body weight in a single day (Cauchon).…

Have you ever been in the deep blue sea and come across seahorse or a leafy sea dragon. They may seem like they have a lot in common; however they very different. Their characteristics, diet, and habitats are all different. Also, both seahorse and leafy sea dragon have bodies to camouflage themselves from predators. A seahorse weighs around one gram to two pounds. While, a leafy sea dragon weighs at a quarter of a pound (4oz). However, they both have similar color such as red,…
