4.1 Behavior observation of presence in water column and bury activity

Burial activity is one of the most important aspect of eel lifestyle. Despite on fact that in our experiment most of eels decided to stay in water column , about 14 eels at the end of trials were partly present in a water column. Most of them give preference to medium and large size gravel , both with 5 eels respectively. Suitable size of holes between gravel might be a reasonable explanation why eels choose especially this type of habitat.

It is sensible that we did not observe any of burring eel in small gravel because of subtract tight composition, which do not allowed eels to bury in it. Explanation why there is so small number off burying eels in small …show more content…

Good substacte,with fine coarse wholes is a perfect habitat which help young eels be less vulnerable and increase their chances for survivor. That also might explain why we bserved that juvenile eel had a lower preference for sediment substrata with grain sizes .It is because they simply could not bury(GS). However, in a results he had some who were found in this habitat,and it might confuse the reader. Those eels we found between the box with subtract and plastic quadrant. Expecially this behaviour we found in a smaller eels because of their tiny size and probably hiding from other larger …show more content…

It is strongly recommended to avoid those activation to protect stream environment for eel natural habitat.(17)

Thus, in light of the results in this study, it can be assumed that excavation and habitat destruction observed in recent years has probably reduced the quantity and quality of suitable habitats for juvenile eel, which could be negatively affecting both ecologically and economically.

4.5 Further studies

Various observations European eel life history should be describe not as truly catadromous, but "facultative or semi catadromous". Due to fact that European eel were found in different waters such as freshwater,brakish and coastal,and freshwater phase is not be a essential part of their life history, could not make them not truly catadromous species.(18)

This is the only experimental study until now, as far as we know, that contribute to the understanding the habitat choice of eel juveniles in brackish salinity water .Therefore further studies should be taken in order to contribute better understand about substrate selection in all Anguillae group.

70 common limpets were identified in the 40m bracket identified as the littoral zone, between 0m to 40m. The common limpet employs a range of adaptations to survive the abiotic and biotic conditions associated with the littoral zone. Firstly, the limpet uses a structural adaptation to overcome the harsh wave action in the tidal zone, by using their radula to grip on to imperfections in the rock. Furthermore, they employ a behavioural adaptation of grinding their shells down into the rock, to further ensure they are not swept away by the tide. Additionally, the limpet utilises a behavioural adaptation regarding its tough shell and powerful radula, to defend against predators.

Using the 0.1 M stock solutions of sugar, a 0.01 M dilution was created for each sugar type by adding water to the stock solution 9 out of 1. A 20 mL dilution was made for each trial. The same volume of each solution (10 mL -5 mL ) was added to the green sponges to create four group; Group 1: Sponge with 10 Ml 0.01 M glucose solution, Group 2: Sponge with 10 mL 0.01 M fructose solution, Group 3: Sponge with 10mL 0.01 M sucrose solution, Group 4 (Control): Sponge with 10 mL water. The four sponges were placed every 90 degrees on the edge of the arena. The isopods were placed into their environment for one to two minutes to acclimate with the environment.

On the trip with SWEEP the health of the Susquehanna River was studied. In order to do that, chemical test, biological tests, and physical observations were made. Chemical testing showed the more scientific side of water quality, such as the amount of nitrates, phosphates, the pH values, temperature, dissolved oxygen, and turbidity. Searching for macroinvertebrates was the biological testing. Certain macroinvertebrates and the quantity found determines how healthy the stream is.

Brine Shrimps tend to hatch in specific environmental conditions, such as high and low salt concentrations in water, weather and temperature. As one of the environmental conditions in which Brine Shrimp eggs hatch is water salinity and so, in this assignment, we were given 4 different salinity levels of water, which were 0%, 3%, 6% and 9%. As a result of the experiment, we noted that after 24 hours only one egg hatched at 3% salinity level and none at 0%, 6% and 9% levels. The second day, which was after 48 hours, there were 0 shrimps that hatched in 0% and 9% salinity levels, whereas at 3%, 7 out of 46(15.3%) eggs hatched and 6 out of 49(11%) at 6% levels. Based on this data our group concluded that the best level for hatching shrimps is 3%

I had the opportunity to observe Kentucky Aquatics, a local club team, that was under the coaching of Chris Fugmann. Chris started up a swim program and single handedly ran it for 26 years before combining swim teams with wildcat aquatics to become Kentucky aquatics. I selected this assignment because I want to pursue a swim coaching career and I would be able to apply concepts learned in KHP 547 in becoming a more effective coach. I had a positive experience when I completed the observation and I was able to apply it to the concepts learned in this course. Some of the concepts that I witnessed included operant conditioning, motivation tactics, and motivational climate.

In this experiment we tested to see if the catfish contained lead by using a lead testing kit. We used the data collected by ORNL in 2011 that is now accessible to the public. We pose that, if the age of the lake is older than the amount of lead will increase in the catfish when the amount of lead in the fish is a function of how old the lake is. Assuming the age of the lake would affect the amount of lead in the fish. The lakes that we picked were Tellico Lake, Melton Hill Lake, Watts Bar Lake, and Fort Loudon Lake.

Today, the Salton Basin is 35 miles long, 15 miles wide, and 30 feet deep (2). It is also around 228 feet below sea level (2). It’s current salinity is around 48,000 milligrams per liter, or 37 percent higher than the Pacific Ocean which allows only for salt-tolerant fish and birds to survive (2). The Salton Basin of Imperial Valley is one of the most biologically diverse areas in California with over 400 species and subspecies found there (2). Common mammals that can be found in the Imperial Valley are raccoons, coyotes, striped skunks, desert pocket mice, Merriam 's kangaroo rats, desert cottontails, Valley pocket gophers, and Round-tailed ground squirrels.

Genz refers to this as an unexplored area weedy area that is productive in the early winter. Nevertheless, the fish will move into the deeper water during the later season, so this does not work as well. A sticky area refers to a location with ground that is not too soft or hard. This is a heavenly paradise for burrowing insects and fish know it. This is also a place where fisherman can catch their limit.

There are three ways of fish migrations. First is upstream, second is downstream and last one is laterally. As Tor sp. is practices long distance migration, the dam impoundment would block their nature behavioural of migrating. Thus, fish passes can be the solution to the trapped fish in order to assist their migratory.

Even when the differences in language are apparent, mentors in this case can also facilitate discussion to find common ground. This would have been an asset when simulating the process of the European Eel management. As an example, stakeholders had different definitions attached to the word ‘sustainable’. Stakeholders such as HORECA and DUPAN labeled eel fishing as a sustainable practice given appropriate measures in catching, restocking and fishing eel. While our stakeholder, the good fish foundation did not recognize any sustainable method in fishing eel, considering its critically endangered status and the uncertainties surrounding the decline in the eel population.
