    Blind Mexican Tetra Fish

    Blindness in the Mexican tetra fish is a controversy among scientists whom have long-debated the mechanism of this evolutionary change. The Mexican tetra fish, Astyanax mexicanus, exists in two morphs: a sighted surface form and a blind cavefish form. The debate amongst scientists is rooted in the process by which the Mexican tetra became blind. Evolution demands progress, yet the blind Mexican tetra suggests regression, as it lost its vision over time.…

    Orangespotted Sunfish Essay

    The primary swimming form of the Orangespotted Sunfish is labriform because they row their pectoral fins, an oscillatory fin motion. The mouth of these fish are terminal and moderately large. A terminal mouth allows this species to be a benthic and surface feeder. Their gill rakers are long and slender with space between them. This allows for particles in the water that flow into the mouth of the fish that they do not want to eat, to flush out. It indicates that the food of this fish is medium to large sized compared to their body. This correlates with an omnivorous diet and the ability to consume small and large prey. Daphnia and Cyclops are crustaceans often found in this species’ diet. Also, they help with mosquito control by feeding on mosquito larvae. The eyes of the Orangespotted Sunfish are corrected for spherical aberration, meaning they are a visual fish and need sight to find their prey. Since their prey is small fish and crustaceans, good eyesight is important to find them in the murky water that they live in. The Orangespotted Sunfish has adapted traits to better thrive in it’s…

    Comparing The Monster Goldfish And Boar

    Last week I read two articles on invasive species and they are eating their way into this paper, The Monster Goldfish and Boar. This paragraph will be on how they are alike. Oh that reminds me, they are eating a lot of things they definitely should not eat like eggs, other animals, soccer fields, etc.. A very naughty thing they are doing is knocking out native species to the area by either eating their eggs or babies, eating the actual adult who lays the eggs or babies, seriously, no joke!!! They are eating a lot, but now let’s get down to how big they are.…

    Did you know that the venom of a Black Banded Sea Krait is ten times more toxic than that of a rattlesnake? Maybe this is why people are scared of snakes. Though their venom is very toxic, humans rarely get bitten. Unfortunately, the population is being threatened by habitat destruction. The Black Banded Sea Krait has its own ways of adapting to marine life, where it lives, and how they produce more of their species.…

    Humans vs Pagurus Berhardus

    What is a vacancy chain and how does it relate to people and animals? Hermit Crabs, several species of octopuses and cichlid fish live in and defend empty shells. Limpets hunker down in rocks, Maine and southern Lobsters occupy small caves in coral and rocks. The red-cocked woodpecker carves nest hollows out of the trunks of pine trees. As many of these animals grow larger and older they seek better suited shelters, creating vacancies for other animals. People do exactly the same thing. I will discuss how the study of vacancy chains in animals may help improve the way resources such as apartments, automobiles and jobs are distributed among human beings.…

    Devil Fish Research Paper

    Devil fish, also known as suckermouths, have invaded the waters of the Mexican state of Tabasco. This armored catfish is cherished among aquarium owners because they eat the algea that grow in the tanks, but out in the wild, this behavior harms underwater plant life and erodes shorelines. Along with this, the introduction of these fish has resulted in a decrease in numbers of Robalo, or snook, in these impacted waters. It’s unclear as to how these devil fish became a problem, but it’s thought to be a combination of aquaculture facilities accidentally releasing them, and the “Nemo effect, where the fish grew too large for their tanks and were then released into the wild by. After the initial release, the populations exploded due to their abilities to mature quickly, lay 500 eggs at a time, and their long life spans (7 to 15 years). In an effort to try and reduce the number of devil fish, Acari was born, a company that has attempted to catch and sell these invaders as food. Although this fish isn’t poisonous, marketing it for human consumption has proven to be difficult. In addition to selling fillets to restaurants, Acari hopes to help migrants and refugees through the donation of fish.…

    Shark and the Goldfish

    I chose “The Shark And The Goldfish” by Jon Gordon for my book report. This book is about positive ways to thrive during waves of change and follows a goldfish named Gordy who washes out into the ocean. Gordy has always been taken care of and fed daily, but doesn’t know how to act or get food when he is in the ocean. He meets a nice shark named Sammy who teaches him how to find food and take care of himself. The story is a lesson for how you never know what life is going to throw at you and when a new challenge or change comes your way, it is up to you to embrace the change and learn to grow instead of viewing the change as a negative. The lingering question in the beginning of the story is are you a shark or a goldfish and how you can learn to become a shark if you tend to have more goldfish like tendencies.…

    Compare And Contrast Fish Cheeks And Two Kinds

    Though the two stories “Fish cheeks” and “Two Kinds” have many similarities, their differences play a key role in defining each individual story. Both stories have the same basic setup; they are each told from the point of view of a young Asian-American girl, who are both the daughters of generation Chinese immigrants. This proves to be a source of conflict in the two stories, due to the fact that the cultural and generational differences between both mother-daughter duos. In the story “Fish Cheeks,” the narrator is struggling with her heritage and cultural traditions as she tries to fit into American society and be accepted by her peers, specifically, the minister’s son. She is embarrassed by her mother’s ethnic food choices for dinner and…

    Lionfish Research Paper

    This shows that lionfish, with their fearless attitudes, will sting anything that comes too close. A single prick from a lionfish can cause hours of pain and even paralysis (Gupta 1). I myself have been stung by a lionfish on the finger, so I know to keep a close eye on them when I am snorkeling. The problem is that lionfish do an excellent job of blending in with the reef. Lionfish have golden brown and white stripes which help them camouflage with the reef, and their fins and tentacles are long and wavy, giving them the appearance of a piece of seaweed. This is why lionfish are not only dangerous to fish but also to humans.…

    Survival of the Stingray

    Imagine yourself 150,000 years in the future. Another ice age is in full force. Temperatures are much colder, vegetation has ceased to exist, along with several entire animal species. The lion, once the king of the jungle, is no more than an alley cat scavenging for food. The great white shark- reduced to the size of goldfish. A new predator is on the prowl. The stingray, once limited to shallow, sandy beaches, has evolved! With it's new adaptations the power of the stingray is unfurled, free to roam in the wide expanse of sea, air, and land. <br><br>Many advantages have evolved in the once conservative stingray. From the large size of the present day animal, the stingray has been reduced in size and weight from an average of 12 feet, 60 pounds to 3 feet, 15 pounds to provide from speed, stealth, and agility. The broad flattened pectoral fins have grown a protective hard scale resistant to the hardest of an enemy's teeth, along with the secretion of a special enzyme that causes pain and damage along with a bitter taste to avoid being eaten. It's powerful tail has been lengthened to provide offensive coverage in a 360 degree area. Along with the sharp, barbed spines and deadly poisonous glands, the stingray is now a formidable opponent.<br><br>With the decrease in food supply, the stingray has adapted with his environment. Formerly a sole marine animal, a stingray's diet has now included the usual fish and crustaceans to birds and small rodents. To achieve this new source of food, the stingray now has the capability to move on land in the form of a speedy slithering such as a snake might move. A set of lungs accompany this adaptation enabling the stingray to breathe on land as well as water. In addition to land and sea, if a stingray should swim swiftly to the surface and break out high above, his new capability to glide would take effect. With a limit of a few minutes the stingray cannot sustain continued flight. He would be able to act as a scavenger stealing away…
