    Stickleback are most commonly found in the ocean, but can be found in some freshwater lakes.

Their maximum length is about four inches, but few of them are more than three inches long. They mature sexually at a length of about two inches. All species show a similar mating behavior, which is also unusual among fish. The males construct a nest from vegetation held together by secretions…

    Goldfish Respiration

    • 450 Words
    • 2 Pages

    Organisms have specialized structures to carry out respiration. In fish, the gills can be found beneath a protective covering called the operculum. The gills are made of gill filaments, which serve to increase the surface area. When a "fish breathes," its operculum closes and its mouth opens. To allow water to pass over the gill filaments, the mouth closes and the pharynx contracts. Oxygen diffuses into the capillary circulatory network and is distributed throughout the fish 's body. This process constitutes one breath in fish. Several variables affect the respiration rate of fish.…

    The primary swimming form of the Orangespotted Sunfish is labriform because they row their pectoral fins, an oscillatory fin motion. The mouth of these fish are terminal and moderately large. A terminal mouth allows this species to be a benthic and surface feeder. Their gill rakers are long and slender with space between them. This allows for particles in the water that flow into the mouth of the fish that they do not want to eat, to flush out. It indicates that the food of this fish is medium to large sized compared to their body. This correlates with an omnivorous diet and the ability to consume small and large prey. Daphnia and Cyclops are crustaceans often found in this species’ diet. Also, they help with mosquito control by feeding on mosquito larvae. The eyes of the Orangespotted Sunfish are corrected for spherical aberration, meaning they are a visual fish and need sight to find their prey. Since their prey is small fish and crustaceans, good eyesight is important to find them in the murky water that they live in. The Orangespotted Sunfish has adapted traits to better thrive in it’s…

    The Orangespotted Sunfish (Lepomis humilis) is often confused with other sunfishes. This species is classified in the class Actinopterygii, order Perciformes, and family Centrarchidae. One characteristic that makes them stand out from other fishes are their black and orange spots. Also, their operculum is lined with a solid white band. Nine to ten bars can be identified on this fish. The bars on the female have a light center, which is a way of gender identification when the males are outside of the breeding season and not brightly colored. Identification of species and gender is especially important when sampling fishes. During breeding season, males have a bright orange belly and metallic blue body while the females are much duller in color.…

    Tank capacity is not the only concern when it comes to choosing a tank. There are many shapes of tanks available on the market, but the best choices are those that have the largest surface areas of water. A larger surface area will allow more oxygen to enter the water from the air, thus creating a healthier marine environment (Gutjahr 7). For this reason, tall, narrow tanks are poor choices. Landscape-oriented tanks are better. One should choose a sturdy glass tank, rather than a plastic one. Plastic tanks are not able to withstand water pressure as well as glass. Plastic is also easily scratched, which can affect an observer’s view of the fish inside (Kolle 73).…
