Puffins You’re on a costal cliff in the North Atlantic Ocean‚ instead of on an offshore island where can also observe this mostly black and white stocky bird with a large beak as it dives down into the water to get food in the form of a fish‚ this bird is a puffin. One of the puffins land on the cliff when it’s a attacked by a fox‚ one of the animals that eats the puffins. Looking away from the mess you look to a puffin in the water getting food in the form of small marine fish for its chicks

Largest Landfill in the World Soon going to the will no longer be a vacation option unless you do not plan to swim. There will probably be a huge amount of plastic and trash in the water. This is due to the Pacific trash vortex. All of the plastic that has accumulated over the years had either eended up in a landfill or in the ocean. It is however‚ more likely that the trash has ended up in the ocean. Trash that people just toss in the water ends up in the ocean. Americans fail to

BIOMAGNIFICATION LAB REPORT AIM The aim of this lab is to model bioaccumulation and biomagnification through a food chain. MATERIALS 100 M&M’s Paper towel to lay M&M’s on 20 small cups labelled “zooplankton” 5 medium cups labelled “minnow” 2 larger cups - one labelled “eel #1”‚ and another labelled “eel #2” 1 bowl labelled “osprey” PROCEDURE The pile of M&M’s represents the phytoplankton population in a lake. The printed “M” on the candy represents the amount of DDT (in ppm)

There are many kinds of animal life in the aquatic systems including microscopic zooplankton and all sizes of marine mammals.

The character of China’s water scarcity is the insufficiency of local water

Overview Plankton is a microscopic drifting organism present in most of the water bodies around the world. There are three categories of plankton‚ but only Phytoplankton and Zooplankton are of our interest. Phytoplankton is the primary producer and forms the base of food chain in most water bodies. Among these phytoplankton groups‚ there are some species that harm aquatic organisms mechanically or by toxin production either at low concentrations or by forming high concentration blooms known as Harmful

into electricity at a gas power plant. • As a fossil fuel‚ natural gas is formed from the decaying remains of pre-historic plant and animal life. As with petroleum‚ most natural gas formation is due to the breakdown of prehistoric marine zooplankton. Zooplankton subsist on a diet of phytoplankton‚ which‚ in turn‚ rely upon the energy of the sun to produce organic matter and energy through photosynthesis. • Once a potential natural gas deposit has been located by a team of exploration geologists

on local photosynthetical production and intensive aquaculture‚ in which the fish are fed with external food supply. Extensive aquaculture‚ Limiting for growth here is the available food supply by natural sources‚ commonly by zooplankton feeding on pelagic algae or benthic animals‚ and mollusks. Tilapia species filter feed directly on phytoplankton‚ which makes higher production possible. The photosynthetic production can be increased by fertilizing the pond water with artificial

Bay’s food chain begins with the growth of bay grasses and algae‚ the most critical part of the food chain. Not only does the bay grasses and algae have a part but everything living within the bay play a role in the food chain‚ whether it be the zooplankton‚ oysters‚ or small and big fish. If there were to be a decrease in any part of the food chain‚ it will have a major effect on all other members in the food chain including humans. The cause of a decline in the food chain could be from many sources

Whenever you walk on the beach do you notice the plastic in the water or on the sand? Do you ever think that something should be done about this? Plastic pollution is something that’s hurting the environment and is growing more and more every year. Plastic pollution is caused by people using the ocean as a trash can. People are careless and would rather litter than throw the pastic bag away or recycle it. Convinenece to people is better for them than the environment. Throughout the years the pollution
