Brine shrimp Essays

Salt is what the brine shrimp need to hatch. Without salt the brine shrimp won’t be able to hatch or stay alive long. My question ‘Which water will the brine shrimp thrive the best in with with the different amounts of salinity?’This experiment will test whether it matters how much salinity is put in with the eggs. These next paragraphs are some of the information on brine shrimp. For example what they look like, eat, are used for, their different names, etc. Brine shrimp live in very salty water

Brine Shrimp Lab Reflection After performing the Brine Shrimp Inquiry lab my group found that .5% salinity of 50 mL of water was the ideal salinity for hatching brine shrimp. To figure out what salinity was ideal we tested three different levels of salinity. The first thing we did when we began the lab was choose three different salinities to test. My group choose .5%, 3%, and 5%, next we choose the amount of water that would be in each dish; we decided on 50 mL of water. We then calculated

lowest number of brine shrimp in the section without concentration as well. The other sections with my 5% and my 10% concentration ended up with no hatched eggs at all. This could be due to enviornmental reasons. Due to the enviornment brine shrimp usually have to grow is due to natural selection. Through natural selection they are able to pass down genes and carry ablitly to reproduce. Unlike in our experiment where we just had a solution and them in a petry dish. Brine shrimp can live in an

Introduction Brine Shrimp are crustaceans which are distantly related to shrimp, crabs and lobsters. Brine shrimp live in salt water lakes because they can avoid predators; not a lot of aquatic life can survive in that condition. Brine shrimp have eleven pairs of legs used as gills. Their gills are used to help them breathe like lots of sea life, but these gills are also used to pump chloride ions, which take out the salt from their bodies and go into the water. You can tell the difference between

72580 Rodriguez Silva The Top-down Effects of Brine Shrimp on Algae INTRODUCTION An ecosystem is a delicate structure moderated by the network of interactions between all of the organisms that inhabit it. These organisms can be arranged into trophic levels, forming a chain or pyramid in which energy flows from one level to another. In a top-down trophic cascade, the higher-leveled consumers regulate and dictate the biomass of the trophic levels below (Leroux and Loreau 2015). The removal or addition

One of the leading causes for reefs to be endangered is due to the invasive lionfish. The lionfish’s impulsive eating habits are threatening our sea life of the reefs and decreasing our fisheries economically. According to Lionfish Hunters, the green side includes the cleaners that maintain the health of the reef and the health of other fish such as “grazers.” The grazers are the parrotfish, goatfish, wrasses, surgeonfish, and tangs. (The Lionfish Hunters, web.) These fish help clean the algae that

- Body Structure: Shrimp body has 19 pieces that includes: five pieces of the head, eight pieces of the chest and six pieces of abdominal segment. Head and chest incorporated together and is covered by integrated structure called carapace that protect lateral and dorsal surface of body and in front as a sharp detail that called rostrum that have teeth in the upper and down edge is identified as a key species. Each body segment has a pair of appendage. Head have a pair of Antennas , a pair Antennules

stores, consumers can expect to pay more than eight dollars for less than a pound of shrimp. Since seafood is in such high demand, one would think that the fishermen who put in long hours of labor to collect this abundance would be well paid; however, that is not the case. In the past few years, fishermen in South Louisiana, specifically commercial fishermen, have seen a decline in the prices they receive for the shrimp that they sell. In the past, commercial fishing used to be a very dependable job

The mantis shrimp, is a marvel of natural selection, showing the utmost phenomena of our creature world; in comparison, nothing can match the riches of the mantis shrimp. The mantis testament of the power of the natural selection, this animals exceeds the realms of human engineering, with transcending our understanding of the world with the art of sonoluminescence, incredibly strong arms, and unimaginably advanced eyes. Sonoluminescence, is light created by sound. To make this, takes incredible

then it is called neutral. Lemon juice and vinegar are both very acidic, while bleach and soapy water are very basic. Opposite to the typical assumption, the pH scale can range from less than 0 to greater than 14 for very strong acids and bases. Brine shrimp are native to the Great Salt Lake. Even though they are used as fish food, they can also represent

franciscana, a species of brine shrimps are able to resist to warm water temperatures and even develop thermal adaptations (Clegg et al. 2001). Other abiotic factors that affect habitat selection in brine shrimps are temperature, pH and gradients of light (Biology 108 Lab Manual 2015-16). If A. franciscana are also able to withstand wide range of environmental conditions like generalist, then we can predict that A. franciscana will

GREAT SALT LAKE: Great Salt Lake we all know is the largest natural river located in the West of Mississippi River. It is approximately 75 miles long and about 35 miles wide. How did the Great Salt Lake originated? Initially Great Salt Lake is a part of Lake Bonneville. Lake Bonneville is a great ice age lake that rose dramatically from a small saline lake 30,000 years ago. After the ice age the earth 's climate became drier and Lake Bonneville gradually receded to form Great Salt Lake. Have you

The Marine Biome Written by Molly Joyce A horse--like seahorse is eating shrimp with its long snout when the scuttling sound of a 10--legged red crab arises from the sandy ocean floor, its hard shell upsetting the sandy ocean floor. The crab grabs at the seahorse with its claws snapping ferociously. Crabs are one of the few animals that eat seahorses, along with some species of fish and rays. The seahorse, terrified, uses the current to float to a nearby patch of eelgrass. Once there

sugar 22. In the experiment, students put brine shrimp in water with different concentration of salt and counted the number. Which of the following changes to the experiment will increase confidence in the validity of the result? a. Count the number of dead brine shrimp instead of living brine shrimp b. Add more brine shrimp to the water with the highest salt concentration c. Repeat the experiment several times, and calculate the average number of brine shrimp d. Reduce the length of the experiment

To be specific, seahorses eat brine shrimp. They can eat up to 3,000 brine shrimp per day! The food that they eat quickly passes through their digestive system, like garbage going down a garbage chute. In that case they get hungry pretty quick because the food they eat doesn’t sit in their stomach like our

consumed by the predator if one is present, creating ecosystem stability. Dunaliella is a primary producer in sodium chloride and water environments and is the backbone to the ecosystem created for experiment. Artemia, a small, transparent in color, shrimp, is a consumer of algae and preys on primary producers in the system while hiding from Aiptasia, a dark brown, shelled

Banggai cardinalfish, Pterapogon kauderni Introduction: Ichthyologist Dr. Frederick Petrus Koumans he is the one who described the species and erected a new genus, Pterapogon (cardinalfish with long fins), and assigned the species name of kauderni in honor of the Swedish zoologist Walter A. Kaudern who was the first to collect this species in 1920. It is among the relatively few marine fish to have been bred regularly in captivity, but significant numbers are still captured in the wild and it is

Fish for Small Unheated Aquariums and Goldfish Bowls Filed under: Aquarium Fish Tanks andFish Tank Design andFreshwater Tropical Fish Certain fishes are often kept in bowls or small plastic aquariums that lack heating and filtration equipment. The fish most often kept in this way include goldfish, bettas, white cloud mountain minnows, and danios. Each of these fishes have different pros and cons when it comes to keeping them in this fashion. Goldfish, Carassius auratus: Superb in Large Unheated

Physiologic materials: Zebrafish: Tubingen species is used for the research in the laboratory as an animal model. This one is used because its gene is totally sequenced, It’s also easy to grow in special pools in the laboratory, with high production rate (at least 200 egg per week). In addition this animal is transparent and has an external fecundation which make it easier to manipulate and observe its development. With a high rate of gene conserved between it and humans, it makes it an ideal model
