What Is Blob Fish
The Psychrolutes marcidus also known as the blobfish lives in the deep waters of Australia and Tasmania, as well as some of the waters of New Zealand. The blobfish also survives in the Sunlit Ocean Zone which gets light underwater. The temperature in this zone ranges from -3 to 40 degrees celsius. This type of fish can be found in the waters as deep as 100 meters to 2800 meters. The pressure is 60 to 120 times greater than at sea level. The blobfish's skin is mostly a gelatinous mass with a density less than water. This is one of their many important adaptations. Their flesh allows the fish to float above the seafloor without using most of their energy while swimming. Due to its low density flesh, the blobfish's shape and appearance is different

    Behavior of Brine Shrimp in Habitat Selection Introduction: This experiment

    Behavior of Brine Shrimp in Habitat Selection Introduction: This experiment was developed primarily to find the optimal or preferred living conditions of adult brine shrimp. In this lab 3 variables were tested in different degrees to determine which the shrimp prefer. The different variables were light, ph, and temperature. From outside resources I have found that brine shrimp can survive in temperatures ranging from 4° Celsius to 40° Celsius with an optimal temperature of 20°-25°. So I hope to reinforce this research by testing its validity in the lab. From another outside source brine shrimp display positive photo taxis, which means that they are attracted to light. And finally from my last outside source I have found information that suggests brine shrimp prefer a ph of 7-9 and will die if placed in a solution of salinity higher than 10 and less that 5 for longer periods of time. This lab is important because it is a fairly easy experiment to test and find behavioral traits of a simple organism. Even though from research I was able to find the data that is to be tested in this lab it is important to actually prove the results as they may be incorrect for this population of brine shrimp. So for this lab I am trying to find out what environment brine shrimp prefer to live in and what they don't prefer to live in, and possible what they are unable to live in. I expect that the results of this lab will be fairly similar to the information stated above, but not totally the same. I believe that like most organisms these brine shrimp will prefer to live in the middle of environmental extremes.…

    Bibi Bobois Research Paper

    The defense mechanisms of the Bobois are especially unique. During the winter the Bobois produces a thick coat of gray slime that will cover its body to create a slimy shell. This slime protects it from cold temperatures by using the Greenhouse Effect to absorb and trap heat inside of the slime. When the season changes to Summer the slime will start to melt revealing its damp cyan-ish body which helps the worm keep cool during hot weather. Bibi Bobois’ are abnormally flat compared to other worms. This helps for those times when a kid comes running and steps on them. The Bobois has…

    Brine Shrimp Lab

    As we see in table one, our results show that brine shrimps prefer the dark as appose to the light. The shrimps started out by being in the light at first but gradually all the shrimps moved to the dark side. In the wild brine shrimps prefer the light as they are found in the shallow part of the ocean rather than the deep dark side (Brine Shrimp, 2016). Our results do not make sense as we saw that our shrimp went to the dark side rather than the light side, as in the wild they are usually sound in the light side.…

    Rumble Fish

    In thinking of film's that are able to exemplify many film elements that are put together in an interesting and organized manner the movie Rumble Fish comes to mind. The director Francis Ford Coppola demonstrates how metaphors are able to help decipher a deeper meaning of the film. Rumble Fish is a film that is about growing up and seeing new things that have never been seen before. The two main characters who are brothers Rusty James and the Motorcycle Boy, experience internal conflicts. Rusty James the younger of the two looks up to his brother and wants to be like him. However the elder has grown out of his previous demeanor of always fighting and he doesn't want his brother to follow in his steps. Throughout the film he ask Rusty James why he is following him. The Motorcycle Boy knows that his brother is somewhat trapped in the city and someone needs to get him out or set him free. He looks to the fish in the pet store to explain this and it is how he relates to his brothers problems. This is the scene that will be examined of when Rusty James is in the pet store with his brother and they are looking at the fish. It has been explained how much everyone in town looks up to the Motorcycle Boy, and on numerous occasions Rusty James said he was going to look like him when he was older. Even though the Motorcycle Boy never shows much affection, he wants something better for his brother, and even though he never tells his brother to leave until the end when he knows he is going to die, he tries to let him know through the fish. So until this point in the movie the viewer never really knows how the Motorcycle Boy feels about his brother.…

    Blackfish Research Paper

    There has been a lot of controversy surrounding Seaworld’s treatment of captive orcas recently. A documentary called Blackfish was released in 2013 that highlighted the abuse of killer whales at Seaworld. It also showed how the aggression of orcas in captivity has resulted in the death of trainers. Though Seaworld has denied inadequate treatment of their orcas, they have clearly been in distress. Orcas, and animals in general, should not be kept in captivity because of the emotional and mental abuse they suffer and the harm they cause to themselves and other orcas.…

    Natural Selection and God

    As a storm that God created blew wind into the ocean, one-half ended up on shore, and the other half ended up in a different part of the ocean. As time went by, a couple of Barbellus Primordius on land became Barbellus Opticus, and another couple in the ocean became Barbellus Dorsalis. Some simply did not survive because they were not ‘fit’ enough- especially if they were forced out of their habitat if they had recessive traits (for example).…
