They are usually at low altitudes in slow flowing water. Besides plankton‚ they also feed on eggs of native species. In other words‚ they not only eat the food of their competition‚ but they also eat the competition before it can

Henessey Gonzalez October 24‚ 2013 Shark Finning is Inhumane Every year millions of sharks die a slow and immoral death from fishermen stripping them of their fins. These fish are taken out of the ocean and then stripped of their fins where their carcasses are then thrown back into the sea to either starve to death‚ be eaten by other predators‚ or drown because of the lack of constant movement their gills cannot extract oxygen from the water which is not only cruel but unorthodox. With that said

* A food chain shows how each living thing gets food‚ and how nutrients and energy are passed from creature to creature. Food chains begin with a plant-life‚ and ends with an animal-life Parts of the Food Chain * Producers These include all green plants. Plants are called producers. This is because they produce their own food! They do this by using light energy from the Sun‚ carbon dioxide from the air and water from the soil to produce food - in the form of glucose/sugar.

Diminished sea ice and warmer water decreases plankton‚ which those animals the walruses feed on need in order to survive. When those animals cannot feed off plankton because they are not existent‚ the walruses starve and are impacted severely. An adult walrus can eat 200 pounds of clams a day. If the walrus population stays 30 miles inshore‚ they can over

To study the inshore recruitment of barnackles they took probes of the klep beds inshore and offshore and analyzed the density of plankton throughout the year. Those Probes showed that during spring and summer the concentration of plankton was way more abundant than throughout the winter. In the offshore kelp beds the B. Glandula cyprids where a lot more abundant than in the inshore beds during summer and the same goes for the larval

There is over 40‚000 pieces of plastic per square mile of the ocean‚ 5‚000 kids die every day from unclean water‚ which adds up to 2 millions children every year‚ and finally water privatization is such a huge problem all over the world and we need to stop that‚ water is not a product‚ it’s a human right.
