which live in the lake and wetland freshwater habitat have. 2. The adaptive features of animals: i. Adaptation to live in the habitat lack of oxygen A. Crayfish: Crayfish lives in fresh water stream, which is an aquatic environment. The oxygen level in fresh water upper stream is higher than the lower stream, but the oxygen concentration is still low. The gills of crayfish are much bigger than the size at first glance. They occupied under the cephalothorax carapace in branched-shape and provided a

diverse species of grasses, forbs (weeds), shrubs, and trees that cover the streambanks and provide shade, land surrounding streambanks generally remains wet throughout most of the year except where streams cut through rocky terrain, Streambanks are more vertical and steep than flat and rounded. Stream water is relatively clear but contains debris from streambanks (leaves, twigs, or logs) that create pools and other habitat for fish and aquatic insects. A diversity of wildlife including fish, aquatic

the creek? The ways that you can find out what the water quality is, based on the microinvertebrates, is through the measures of water quality, how the invertebrates can be used to measure water quality, and through the impact of water quality on stream ecosystems. For the measures of water quality the dissolved oxygen is the oxygen that is in the water. The amount of dissolved oxygen in the water must be in high concentrations. The pH of a substance is the measure of hydrogen ions in that substance

stickleback normally spawns in freshwater but lives in the salt-water ocean. Long ago when ice melted and receded, the fish were given new possible places to inhabit and they did, expanding their spawning locations to newly formed streams. Eventually, though, the streams were cut off from the sea and the once salt-water sticklebacks were faced with the problem of being stuck in freshwater with no way to get out.1 The presence of sticklebacks in freshwater lakes today shows that somehow the fish were

This limited understanding by watershed groups, local governments, landowners, and others leads to a concentrated focus on rivers and streams water quality, and not on the associated wetlands, which are a vital part of a functioning watershed (DEG, 2013). According to the Montana Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) (2013), the absence of wetland programs at the state level contributes

Similarity and Chi Square tables were conducted. Even though there were more fish found in the riffle, the pool had more species of fish therefore making it more diverse. Introduction: Streams are dynamic systems which means they are constantly changing. They are linear and typically have one direction of flow. Streams have channel features called riffles and pools. Pool-riffle channels are known to have moderate to low gradients and

eutrophication and acid rain. Eutrophication is nutrient pollution from things like fertilizer. Fertilizers are used to aid the growth of plants, but are very harmful to water quality. Rain can wash away this fertilizer, draining it into nearby streams. The fertilizer accelerates algae growth, blocking light to good plants on the bottom. The bacteria population increases due to the new food source created by the algae. Most of the oxygen

How to mitigate the problem of damn impoundment to Tor sp Dam impoundments create barriers across rivers that gives negatives impacts on natural fish populations. The dam impoundment can contribute to the disappearance and exticntion of species and also diminished abundance. Tor sp is one of species affected by dam impoundment. Mitigation measures are really need to prevent the problem from arise. A) Construction of fish passage There are three ways of fish migrations. First is upstream, second

but they had to cut off two people’s heads to load it. There was also not enough food for all of the colonists. Quoting Dennis B. Blanton, she says “The island is not situated at a point of great natural food abundance. Fish are present in local streams but only in the spring and early summer.”(55)This was a big problem because in the winter they would not have any food. Plus because of the drought, there was no rain which meant no water to water the crops. They also died because they only had one

Fossils are especially noticeable near the Turkey Path, in Leonard Harrison State Park and in the creek itself. The highway bridge along RT. 6 is pretty in all seasons. We pass under it. The “Blue Moon” at pre-dawn one morning at the confluence of Pine Creek and Marsh Creek. Mile 8.0 (Mile 8.0) South of the highway bridge, we get our first look at Pine Creek. Pine Creek and Marsh Creek merge and head south. This is a particularly tranquil section of the Pine Creek Trail. Look for eagles in

The Cullowhee Creek is a small source of water that runs through Western Carolina University. The creek begins further up the mountain, then runs into the Tuckasegee River, which then flows into the Tennessee river, then the Mississippi, and finally, into the Gulf of Mexico. In this activity, we monitored the creek to determine its health. In the Riparian Inventory activity, we rated various aspects of the creek. Through rating these aspects, we were able to determine the health of the creek

I stepped on the rock and got the back of my foot wet in the chilling stream of water. “Come on Cody,” I said as I pulled him up over the ledge and then made my way up the creek bank. As I got up the bank I could smell the disgusting fume of recently blown up fireworks. We were behind another row of houses, but we could see

Don’t die in Fansipan This time about 3 years ago, I was so sad hearing about a young talented student named Anh, from my home town, Xuan Dinh, missing in Fansipan. I heard no further news about him since then. 5 days ago, I shared a face book link, looking for an English backpacker, Aiden Webb, who was reported missing after a week in Fancipan, the highest mountain in Vietnam. Sadly, the morning news revealed he was found death after a week missing. With all respect to his family’s privacy during

With our bodies consisting of such a large percentage of water, water is vital and essential to everybody’s life. In “Fouling Our Own Nests” by Robert Glennon, Glennon begins his excerpt with a vignette taking place in Lake Havasu, a city that is known for their spring break parties and indulgence of fun. The use of the vignette creates a sense of dirtiness and

South Australian Management of Water Lake Eyre Basin Introduction The Lake Eyre Basin is a source of water located in a part of Queensland, South Australia, the Northern Territory and a bit of New South Wales it is 1.2 million square kilometres and it is almost as big as one sixth of Australia. The basin is one of the largest draining basins in the world. It is also home to about 60,000 people who live and work in the basin. The following information report will be explaining about the source water

Our experiment was conducted in late January at Wet Beaver Creek. Wet Beaver Creek is located south of flagstaff in the Coconino National Forest. Wet beaver creek has an elevation if 1158 meters, with an average annual precipitation of 16.71 inches, and an average temperature range of 80.8 in July and 43.1 in December. Wet beaver creek features both Perennial and non-Perennial rivers, and is home to many species of trees including sycamore, Juniper, Cottonwood, Alder, Ash, and many more. To test

and excrement surveys in order to determine the health of the environment. 1.2 Location Stumers Creek is located in Coolum Beach, on the Sunshine Coast in Queensland Australia. The sub catchment of Stumers Creek covers an area of 13km2. The main stream consists of a southern branch and a northern branch, which drain the town of Coolum Beach and the southern wetland area of Noosa National Park respectively. Both branches of the river join slightly upstream of stumers creek mouth near

Introduction Cedar Creek is situated within the basin-shaped Samford Valley. This creek is made up of a granitic intrusion that has been slowly weathered and eroded over time (SERF, 2012).This creek system and its water flow seeps into the surrounding rock and slowly weathers this creating deeper runs of water and wider bends etc. Chemical weathering also affects this creek system with different minerals (feldspar in this case) in the granodiorite being broken down causing different chemical compositions
