or pondweeds or both) and some fishes fed on other animals‚ where the word of ‘’predator’’ usually implies on them (Shelby D. Gerking‚ 1994). However‚ Shelby D. Gerking (1994) also state that some fishes prefer phytoplankton and zooplankton (eg: plankton predator) and benthic predator more prefer pondweed and invertebrates living on the bottom as their nourishment. These show that food habits of the fishes fall into three categories‚ which is herbivorous‚ carnivorous and omnivorous. Fishes in herbivorous

Imagine being a little kid‚ playing in the ocean. All the waves are crashing and you are jumping over them. Suddenly‚ you see a large amount of trash‚ beer bottles‚ plastic containers‚ and strings that hold all of it together. You remove the trash from the ocean and put it into a trashcan. By this small task‚ you have supported the sustainability of the ocean. “Sustainability is ensuring that critical social‚ economic‚ and ecological processes are maintained in a way so that both the short and long-term

Name and describe seven ways in which prokaryotes differ substantially from eukaryotes? Unicellularity- fundamentally single-celled Cell Size- can vary (large range changes with species) Nucleoid- lack a membrane-bound nucleus but rather a nucleoid region Cell Division/Genetic Recombination- binary fission (does not use spindle) and do not have a sexual cycle Internal

Shark Finning It wouldn’t be news if I told you our planet has its environmental problems. We’re making some progress in controlling what we put into the air‚ put into our landfills and even put into our oceans. But we’re not paying enough attention to what we are taking out of our oceans – sharks – and they’re being killed at the rate of up to 73 million per year. That number refers to the number being killed only for their fins and almost entirely to make shark fin soup. You may not really care

plethora of other colorful sessile forms create living tapestries of unrivaled beauty. A bright patch of white stands out‚ revealing itself to be a living wall of white-plume anemones. All of these sessile invertebrates‚ grounded for life‚ depend on plankton rich surge and current to make home deliveries for their meals. Although not reliant on giant kelp‚ shallow rocky reef communities generally associate with kelp forests since each has similar goals -- clean‚ cool‚ nutrient-laden water with abundant

They are effectively free-floating species although many have limited powers of locomotion‚ usually used to maintain their vertical position on the water column. 2. Nekton-

Closer to the surface more animals come into contact with the oil. Plankton and fish larvae swim on the same level as seaweed beds. Theses seaweed beds‚ or sargassum‚ provide a habitat to snails‚ shrimp‚ and crabs. Sea turtles‚ tuna and dolphins feed on theses animals. Sea birds such as

Marine animals are greatly affected by oil spill from tiny planktons to whales (ThinkQuest‚ 2002). Suffocation cause by oil spills and oil poisoning are among the first group. Because oil floats on top of water‚ less light penetrates into the water‚ limiting the photosynthesis of marine plants and phytoplankton. Oil
