This site has valuable information concerning other freshwater fish and aquariums also. You can also ask and post things on just about any fish or aquarium questions or comments on this site. People visit this site to find information and answers to questions they may have about Oscars or other fish. I find

1. Define ecology. Identify the two features of organisms studied by ecologists. Ecology is the scientific study of the interactions between organisms and the environment‚ which in turn determine both the distribution of organisms and their abundance. Ecologists study how interactions between organisms and the environment affect phenomena such as the number of species living in a particular area‚ cycling of nutrients in a habitat‚ and the growth of populations. 2. Describe the relationship between

“Trashed” Essay From the perspective of space you can barely tell the effect humans have made on the earth. As you get closer‚ however‚ you can see the trash and impact we have truly caused. “Trashed” was influential to me because it opened my eyes to a different perspective. It showed me real world people in real world situations. I’ve ignored the facts and was ignorant to not think of the fact the world is deteriorating around me. I never really thought of where all our trash goes not only as

Summary: In order to address the question: Does bioaccumulation of pollutants by aquatic plants increase (or decrease) by sediment bioturbation under benthic invertebrate activity? Oligochetes tubificidae‚ famous invertebrate worms‚ was used as an active ecological engineer and biotubartion source. Biological sediment reworking generated by this invertebrates activity will be quantified using luminophores‚ inert particulate and dissolved tracers. One aquatic plant species‚ Typha latifolia was set

standing still. You will find them in many low lying areas. It is common for them to be very close to lakes‚ rivers‚ and streams. They may have water in them all the time or only during particular times of the year. Plant matter is released into freshwater biomes from a wetland biome. The importance of this is that it allows for fish to have plenty of types of food for them to survive. Florida has one of the largest wetland biomes in the world. The humid conditions are perfect for such forms of plant

1. What role does your species have in its ecosystem? Shallow mountain streams are home to the rare and shy Chinese giant salamander‚ where it has many roles within its ecosystem. It is a symbol of a healthy freshwater ecosystem that humans and other animals depend on (McNeil‚ 2010). The Chinese Giant Salamander is a key component of the food chain as both prey and predator. Salamanders eat many invertebrates‚ making sure that the rivers and streams do not become over populated (Mcneil‚ 2010). The

have found high levels of mercury in dolphins. This is because dolphins are at the top of the food chain. It’s like this: dolphins eat large fish‚ which in turn eat small fish‚ which feed on zooplankton‚ which graze on algae. Algae absorb small amounts of mercury from the aquatic environment. A single zooplankton will ingest large amounts of algae; as a result‚ it will contain a larger percentage of mercury than each individual algae it eats. As one goes further up the food chain‚ mercury levels become
