Their blood is almost transparent because of the lack of red blood cells‚ and they are the only vertebrate that does not have circulating hemoglobin. Those organisms are referred to as Ice fish‚ and they are one of the unique organism that live in Southern Ocean around Antarctica and Southern South America‚ where water temperatures remain relatively stable. Hemoglobin is a protein within mammalian red blood cells that transports oxygen for delivery to tissues throughout the body. Having red blood

Hydrothermal Vents and its Organisms! A hydrothermal vent is a fissure in a planet’s surface from which geothermally heated water issues. Hydrothermal vents are commonly found near volcanically active places‚ areas where tectonic plates are moving apart‚ ocean basins‚ an hotspots Hydrothermal vents exist because the earth is both geologically active and has large amounts of water on its surface and within its crust. Common land types include hot springs‚ fumaroles and geysers. Under the sea

Ventilation and Oxygen Consumption in Fish Sally Ming Bio 102- PR# 2 12/12/12 Abstract Goldfish (Carassius Autarus)‚ when subjected to warm temperatures will have a high rate of ventilation compared to those exposed in colder environment. In a class experiment‚ we observed and recorded the effects of water temperature at [25 C] warm and [15 C] cold on ventilation and consumption rates in goldfish. For one hour at 15min intervals we observed differences in both ventilation and consumption

the Indo-Pacific lionfish (Pterois miles and P. volitans) has become widely established along the Southeast U.S. and Caribbean. Lionfish are presently invading the Gulf of Mexico and South America. Recent estimates of lionfish densities indicate that lionfish have surpassed some native species with the highest estimates reporting over 1‚000 lionfish per acre in some locations. Lionfish are capable of permanently impacting native reef fish communities across multiple trophic levels. Lionfish occupy
