This net will have florescent orange floats fastened to the net at the top to keep the net held up in the water and to alert boats of the net. At the bottom of the net, it will have weights to keep it held down in the water. The maximum reported size of the long-snout seahorse is 6.9 inches (17.5 cm) in height (top of the coronet to the end of the stretched out tail). H. Reidi reaches maturity at approximately 3.1 inches (8 cm) in size. The squares in this burlap should be small enough to keep the seahorses in but allow small shrimp and plankton in and out to feed the seahorses.
They can sense their prey through chemoreception. They are mainly found on the east coast of North America. There are many rows of tube feet and the grooves run down the center of each arm on the oral surface. Their madreporite, usually pink, is their filter for water.
The northern snakehead preys on zooplankton, smaller fish, fish larvae, crustaceans, frogs, insects, small reptiles, and even small mammals and birds. In the areas in which the northern snakehead has invaded, native populations are having gradual decreases because of the northern snakehead’s unextinguishable appetite. The most notable features of the northern snakehead fish are its snake-like characteristics. The fish has a long cylindrical body with the blotchy coloration and patterns of a snake.

Researchers at the University of California, San Diego discovered that stingrays have the same enzymes used by “boneworms” to break down whale carcasses, and help promote photosynthesis in coral. However, this enzyme in stingrays is used to regulate their blood pH. This discovery is leading scientists to get a better understanding of enzyme’s function in human kidneys to regulate blood and urine function. To examine the enzyme more closely graduate student Jinae Roa isolated cells from stingray gills and exposed them to different pH conditions. Her and Martin Tresguerres discovered the more elevated and more alkaline, the proton pump activated by pushing the cells inner cytoplasm to the outer membrane, therefore, relieving it of excess acid.
METHODS This study is focusing in Australian waters, especially in Queensland waters. Most sightings are occurred in southeast region around Moreton Bay, which is declared as a marine park in 1993 and have covered more than 3000 km2 multiple use marine protected area. This marine park has four large sand islands (Moreton, Bribie, N. Stradbroke, and S. Stradbroke Island), where the majority of sightings in Queensland occurred on its waters. (Chilvers 2005).
The Great White Shark The Great White Sharks, known mostly because of their white underbellies, are one of the most powerful aquatic animals in the world. They can swim at about 25 Miles Per Hour (40 Kilometers per hour) because of their strong muscles and forceful tails. In addition to that, male Great Whites can grow around 11.5 to 13.1 feet long, while females can grow from 14.8 to 16.4 feet long. This paper will demonstrate how Great White Sharks are an important part of their ecosystem, how their diets work and will adequately describe their habitats. As predators in their ecosystem, Great White sharks help maintain the coral reefs and seagrass habitats.
One of the most dangerous pests found right in the shallow water are stingrays. They do not like to get treaded on and can hit you with their poisonous tail. Jellyfish can be a similar hazard when walking on the beach. You mostly require professional help after a jellyfish bite. These dangers however can be reduced by carefully getting near the coast.
This beautiful looking fish packs a punch: The fish has venomous spines that deliver an extreme pain that can last for days. In extreme cases, the venom can even cause paralysis. The LIonfish is an apex predator on the reefs using its fins to coral small fish and anything it can fit into it’s mouth into a corner before it strikes quickly swallowing it whole. The lionfish feeds on an array of over 50 species including ecologically and economically important species. ("Lionfish Biology Fact

When these 6 foot killers get in a fight they don't constrict, they use their venom which gives them an opportunity to win. When they get venom on someone they don’t spit it like some other snakes, the only way it gets on is if it bites you, or if you touch another animal that is dead. So be on the watch for these snakes and their killer venom (Cottonmouth 6). These snakes are hemotoxic, which destroys red blood cells, also when a cottonmouth bites a small animal its hemotoxic venom makes the animals blood poisonous (Reptiles
Bull sharks have triangle teeth so they cut very well. Bull sharks are one of the most dangers sharks in the world, because they think that suffers are fish so they attack without knowing that there people.
