Lionfish Vs Jellyfish
Lionfish and Jellyfish oh my! In the magazine article Box Jellyfish and newspaper article Venomous Fish for Dinner they state a lot of information about these aquatic dangers. For example, the female lionfish can lay up to 2,000,000 eggs a year, and I thought 100 was a lot. Also, the article in the magazine states that the jellyfish have venom just like a lionfish. Another way these two species are alike are they use their venom for defense.one way they are different is a jellyfish is a toothless invertebrate and a lionfish has spines for injecting venom into its prey not stingers. In the articles Box Jellyfish and Venomous Fish for Dinner talk about two very different types of fish that are also similar.

    Last week I read two articles on invasive species and they are eating their way into this paper, The Monster Goldfish and Boar. This paragraph will be on how they are alike. Oh that reminds me, they are eating a lot of things they definitely should not eat like eggs, other animals, soccer fields, etc.. A very naughty thing they are doing is knocking out native species to the area by either eating their eggs or babies, eating the actual adult who lays the eggs or babies, seriously, no joke!!! They are eating a lot, but now let’s get down to how big they are.…

    Though the two stories “Fish cheeks” and “Two Kinds” have many similarities, their differences play a key role in defining each individual story. Both stories have the same basic setup; they are each told from the point of view of a young Asian-American girl, who are both the daughters of generation Chinese immigrants. This proves to be a source of conflict in the two stories, due to the fact that the cultural and generational differences between both mother-daughter duos. In the story “Fish Cheeks,” the narrator is struggling with her heritage and cultural traditions as she tries to fit into American society and be accepted by her peers, specifically, the minister’s son. She is embarrassed by her mother’s ethnic food choices for dinner and…

    The vampire fish. That is what the Sea lamprey was nicknamed when discovered in 1835. First spotted in Lake Ontario, researchers were horrified to learn that the Sea lamprey feeds on blood. These parasitic fish latch on to their victims and siphon their blood and other body fluids, sucking them completely dry. What separates the Sea lamprey from other fish, other than their horrifying blood fetish, is their unique body structure. These fish do not have jaws or any other bone structure in their anatomy. Instead of the norm they possess a skeleton that is made out of cartilage. With a unique body set up, comes a unique mouth. It is described to be a large hole filled with sharp, pointy teeth. And this teeth frame a just as deadly tongue.…

    Did you know that the venom of a Black Banded Sea Krait is ten times more toxic than that of a rattlesnake? Maybe this is why people are scared of snakes. Though their venom is very toxic, humans rarely get bitten. Unfortunately, the population is being threatened by habitat destruction.

    What I learned. I learned the differences between transgender, transexual, and transvestite (cross-dressing). Jennifer Boylan made it understood that she is a “male-to-female transexual” and not a transvestite. She said that the word transvestite sounds “creepy” and bug-like. She believes that it is not about dressing up like a female but mentally and physically feeling like one.…

    Jellyfish blooms have many negative effects on the ecology of the ocean and the economy of many places in the world. Seaside countries like Japan and Scotland have reported problems with finding jellyfish clogging water filters in their nuclear power plants. Compton's by Britannica states that a jellyfish's body has no skeleton and that more than nine tenths of it is jelly like. With that being said, one can see how these creatures may wind up obstructing seawater-fed pipes. Aside from the power plants, fishermen are affected as well, as the fish that they would normally catch can be devoured at a devastating rate by one of these blooms. These issues are a huge problem with long-lasting effects and can not be solved on their own without…

    Supposedly, their invasion began during hurricane Andrew in 1992 when 6 lionfish escaped into the wild (The Lionfish Invasion). In only 24 years, Lionfish have successfully established populations all along the Gulf of Mexico, the Caribbean Sea, and the Atlantic Ocean (Lionfish - Point Map). With their ability to reproduce 2 million eggs a year per female and absence of natural predators (The Lionfish Invasion), it is only expected for their numbers to have overtaken in such short a time. This leads to a number of damaging effects on Florida’s ecosystem, such as the severe population declination of native species. In just 30 minutes, a lionfish can eat up to 20 small fish, some of them ⅔ of their own length (The Lionfish Invasion)! This affects not only the species preyed upon, but also the competing native predators, decreasing their numbers too (The Lionfish Invasion). Because of their exponential growth in numbers, complete eradication is, unfortunately, an unrealistic goal (The Lionfish Invasion). Containment, as has been taken up by many sympathizers, is now the only solution. Options such as preserving the population of the lionfishes’ few predators and capturing/eating the lionfish ourselves have proven slightly effective (The Lionfish Invasion); eating it as a delicacy has also…

    The lionfish is a carnivore that feeds on other fish for food. It is red-and-white striped, with long pectoral fins. Lionfish normally have eighteen long needle-like dorsal fins. They use their long dorsal fins for defense against other fish or predators. Because the lionfish are carnivores, they rely on camouflage to seek and catch prey with ease (National Geographic). Lionfish also have a sting, that is extremely painful, that is used to catch their prey.…

    This shows that lionfish, with their fearless attitudes, will sting anything that comes too close. A single prick from a lionfish can cause hours of pain and even paralysis (Gupta 1). I myself have been stung by a lionfish on the finger, so I know to keep a close eye on them when I am snorkeling. The problem is that lionfish do an excellent job of blending in with the reef. Lionfish have golden brown and white stripes which help them camouflage with the reef, and their fins and tentacles are long and wavy, giving them the appearance of a piece of seaweed. This is why lionfish are not only dangerous to fish but also to humans.…
