Next, there are various types of angel fish in the sea. Angelfish has at least 75 kinds of marine (saltwater) angelfish populate the earth's oceans and seas. There are only two kinds of freshwater angelfish. When freashwater angelfish are frightened their vertical stripes go pale. These peaceful slow-moving freshwater angelfish make great pets.…

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…

The Daphniidae daphnia is a freshwater crustacean from the branchiopod class that is common to most ponds, lakes, pools, streams and springs around the world. The water flea, as it is sometimes referred to, is very small in size growing to a length of less than ¼ inch, it has a flat back, a rounded belly, black round eyes and a pair of antennae (Kindersley, 2006). The Daphnia have leaf-like appendages used in respiration, filter feeding and locomotion (Miller, 2010). Unfortunately, due to the size of these crustaceans they are often easy prey for bigger organisms in their ecosystem. Daphnia are often found in the bottom layers of the water column during the day and the upper layer at night to avoid visually feeding fish (Dawidowicz, 1992).…

Bass fishing is the activity of angling for the North American gamefish known colloquially as the black bass.[1] There are numerous black bass species considered as gamefish in North America, including largemouth bass (Micropterus salmoides), smallmouth bass (Micropterus dolomieui), spotted bass or Kentucky bass (Micropterus punctulatus), and Guadalupe bass (order Perciformes).[2]…
The third game fish is the trout. The trout tends to be found in moving water. You can find them in creeks and rivers. A very popular way to catch them is using a fly rod. The fly rod is used by pulling line out of the spool and feathering a tiny bit out as you swing the rod back and forth until you have it at the distance you want it. If you are more of a nature centered type of person, I suggest trout fishing.…

Located deeper than 2000 meters underneath the ocean surface, lies a biome that we have barely seen and realize. This unbelievable and incredible biome is called the abyssal zone. With a depth reaching down to 6000 meters, it is impossible to inhabit this biome. Conversely, certain organisms have managed to keep their survival in this very biome through particular processes.…
Once bass get off their beds they are shallow and are eating mostly baitfish. Largemouth bass are the most active during May also because they are hungry and don’t get much to eat during that time period.…
