Salmon

involves the entire business of harvesting seafood. (Blackhart, Stanton & Shimada, 2006). It applies to both recreational, commercial and subsistence harvesting of aquatic animals. The term generally refers to specific species of interest such as salmon fisheries,…

Freshwater Lakes vs. Saltwater Ocean Fishing During this paper, I will be discussing the differences between freshwater and saltwater fishing along with the similarities. Although, these too types of fishing are very similar because in the end your goal is to catch the fish but the huge difference between the two are the types of fish you will catch in the ocean compared to fresh water. Also, the different types of lures, line, rods, and gear hope you enjoy. The majority of anglers…

Although aquaculture is mainly used for food production, it serves many other purposes as well. Aquaculture can be used to help humans by giving us a constant source of seafood,such as salmon, trout, and oysters, while also helping to restock populations and restore fish habitats. Aquaculture also helps the United States save money as well as to help regulate the production of seafood. Overall the use of Aquaculture is much more beneficial and useful to use than it is environmentally destructive…

Taseko should not be granted approval to build a mine around Fish Lake for three main reasons. Firstly, Taseko is a mining group that wants to start their development around Fish Lake but environmentalists and indigenous group, Tsilhoqot’in, claim that Taseko will cause irreparable damage to the water supply. I argue that Fish Lake is a common resource which means that the land has to be protected to ensure consumers does not over use it. Second, Fish Lake is a sacred land for the indigenous…

other predators. If these dams don’t have a way for fish to bypass them it won’t just effect that population of salmon, trout etcetera the impact would ripple out into the entire ecosystem for example the salmon is a keystone specie that means that they have a major impact on the environment in how other species live and need them to survive, when salmon spawn such as in the famous salmon run in Alaska many predatory species like bears and large…

The steelhead trout used to be a native species to the Arroyo Del Valle in Pleasanton, California. Some are anadromous fish (i.e. they spend most of their time in freshwater developing after they hatch and then spend part of their later life in the sea or ocean) but others will remain in a freshwater stream or creek their entire lives. Typically, anadromous populations swim up the creek in winter to lay their eggs and then swim back, leaving the eggs to develop on their own. In order to lay…

Evolution is a very complex process that can occur over millions of years, as well as right now at this very moment. The articles “12 Examples of Evolution Happening Right Now” by Erin Brodwin showcases a few of the ways that evolution is happening all around, all the time. “A Possible Break in One of Evolution’s Biggest Mysteries” by Peter Brannen, is riveting in the language it uses when explaining one of the largest phenomena of evolution – whales. Both of these articles provide reliable…

.Different types of fish in Minnesota. In the article titled “fish facts,” it says “The northern pike is an aggressive predator fish found throughout Minnesota in lakes, ponds, and rivers,” northern pikes are daytime feeders that mostly feed on other fish. Most anglers are now saying that their favorite type of fish to catch is the largemouth bass. (Tomeelleri Paragraph # 23). They are fun to catch because they attack the lure and they leap out of the water. The largemouth bass is found in…

Evidence supporting the incorporation of enrichment materials into a captive mammal’s environment lead Pounder and his colleagues to investigate if doing so would be just as beneficial to captive fish. Fish are a hugely exploited research model as millions of tons of fish are farmed across the UK. Despite the massive commercial production occurring, inadequate research has been done on improving fish welfare in stressful situations. The large growth of the aquaculture industry should be…
