Viperfish has its own scientific name, Chauliodus Sloani. It lives in the darkest depth of the sea in the range between 250 to 5000 feet in the daytime and shallower depths at night, primarily in tropical and temperate waters. Viperfish only grows up to 60 centimetres . However, they possess extremely over-grown teeth which is very useful for hunting prey. This fierce creature has developed a specialize hunting technique that is perfect for deep ocean floor where there is no light. This fish generates its own light and uses it to attract prey through a process known as bioluminescence . Viperfish has several light-generating-organs along the side of its body called the photophores. They also have a long spine in their back with another photophores at the end of it. They mainly use the photophores to communicate with other members of the species such as when they are attracting mate . …show more content…
However, they can also appear transparent which is useful adaptation for hunting innovation. Viperfish swims closer to the surface at night to attack more preys. Its jaws are wider than its body and can open to 90-degree angle. Viperfish does not have a particular species that they mainly feed on. They eat what they can catch such as shrimp, squid, hermit crabs, mackerel and anchovies. They swim at high speeds toward their prey impaling them with their sharp teeth . Viperfish has an expected lifespan of 30 to 40 years, but cannot survive more than a few hours in captivity due to intense pressure changes . Fortunately, the viperfish is not considered an endangered species. However, they are preyed on some sharks and
Millions of people come from across the world to visit Seaworld every day without thinking about the lives of the animals behind the scenes. Why would they have concerns? From Seaworld’s commercials to the website, they convince the general public that Seaworld is the place to go to see the happy sea animals perform. If Seaworld is such an ecstatic place, what excuse does Tilikum, their greatest well known orca whale, have for the three attacks on trainers? The documentary “Blackfish” was created by the director Gabriela Cowperthwaite because she questioned herself after realizing Tilikum's odd behavior over time in captivity, and if there was any indisputable parts to animal captivity?
Known as Pterois Volitans in the animal kingdom, also called the red lionfish, is a sight to behold in the tropical waters as they swim like an underwater butterfly in the sea. In waters not native to their origin, as they are from the Pacific and have predators that will have them for a snack. Invasive to the Caribbean Sea they have rapidly reached the Gulf of Mexico and far south, spreading to parts of South America. The lionfish has become a persistent pest that’s more trouble than what it appears to be, attractive yet deceptive with a striking pattern of white and red stripes. In the New York Times article, A Call to Action… and Even Rodeos, scientists say that, “from 2005 onward, lionfish have become the most numerous nonnative invasive species in the world.” The average pound fish is one of nature’s clever creations, a venomous foe with spines and an infinite appetite that reproduce quickly. Invasive species are notorious because they have no or almost nonexistent natural predators and they are adapt to their new home very well. The biological adaptations of this fish has caused both ecological and economical mayhem, serious measures have been taken up to control their population as well as to protect our coral reefs.
Understanding other people’s perspective is vital when it comes to making someone a more informed and a more sympathetic person. For example, in politics, there are two main sides; the democrats and the republicans. These two sides almost never see eye to eye, but when they see from the other’s point of view, an agreement can be made.
The Channa Argus, also known as the Northern Snakehead, is currently an invasive species in parts of the United States. Its native range includes Korea, China, and Russia; specifically, the Amur River Basin. They primarily live in fresh aquatic water sources and thrive in the northern hemisphere due to the colder temperatures. They are commonly referred to as snakeheads because of their slim bodies and scaly head features (Fuller et al 2017).
Guillermo Aragon English 121 Leslie McCutchen October 09, 2015 In the Deep End Since the beginning of filmmaking producers have made documentaries to present an argument, an idea, or to portray a kind of reality. In an attempt to introduce an argument of some kind, the filmmaker’s intent is to engage the audiences and to also appeal to their values and emotions. To do this, producers use a number of rhetorical deceives, such as logo, ethos, and pathos, to help get their audience to believe and think in a certain way. Gabriela Cowperthwaite, director of the 2013 documentary Blackfish, uses these rhetorical techniques throughout the film, which tells the story about Tilikum, an orca whale that killed three professional trainers while in captivity.
A lionfish is a longstanding showstopper in a aquarius it's a flourishing invaded species in the united states southeast and caribbean coastal waters.This specie has a potential to harm reef ecosystem cause its a top predator . In the United State the Lionfish population is continuing to grow and increase its range. Did you know a lionfish have fleshy tentacles ?

A poem without any complications can force an author to say more with much less. Although that may sound quite cliché, it rings true when one examines “The Fish” by Elizabeth Bishop. Elizabeth’s Bishop’s poem is on an exceedingly straightforward topic about the act of catching a fish. However, her ability to utilize thematic elements such as figurative language, imagery and tone allows for “The Fish” to be about something greater. These three elements weave themselves together to create a work of art that goes beyond its simple subject.
When one considers examples of “dangerous” species, some consider snakes, spiders, scorpions, bears, sharks, lions, and parasites in that category. Although they can cause humans potential harm, there are certain species that are harmful to the environment. This report will discuss a predator that can cause major destruction to coral reef colonies in the sea. The species that will be discussed, in particular, is called the Crown of Thorns Starfish or CoTS for short.
In Blackfish, Director, Gabriela Cowperthwaite, addresses the accidents that occurred at SeaWorld involving trainers and whales. Cowperthwaite’s purpose is to educate the audience on the cruel treatment and rough conditions of whales that occur in SeaWorld. The film maintains a shocking tone in order to persuade the audience and appeal to feelings of sadness and anger.
Professor Ken Macrorie is frustrated, and through his article “The Poison Fish” is willing to help college students become good writers instead of using phony and pretentious language to impress their teachers. He names this language, Engfish through his frustration of the use of the phony language he explains why it is bad, and then with an optimistic tone gives hsi college students a way to become great writers .
Bishop says that her poem is the truth, but she admits that she changed one detail. “…the poem says he had five hooks hanging from his mouth, but actually he only had three…” (Doty n.pag.). "The Fish" by Elizabeth Bishop is essentially more concerned with exactly how it happened and not an emphasis on precision. Bishop may have spoken only the truth, nonetheless there is still deeper meaning behind her words. However, Carol Frost in "A Poet 's Inner Eye" he found out that “"The Fish" was a conflation of several fishing trips and that the noble and "homely" fish of the poem” (Frost n.pag.). Her fishing trip changed into an aspect of man and the natural world and the choice of power over it or humility.
Impact on Environment Sea Lampreys feed off fish by puncturing its skin and drinking the bodily fluids of the host organism. Their prey
Have you ever wanted to slap eight people at once? Or if you're more of a mushy, touchy, feely person, have you ever wanted to hug eight people at once? An octopus can do either or both of these if they want to! So you know an octopus is lucky being able to do this but what's an octopuses habitat? Since they can slap eight things at once do they have predators? Or since we're on the facty facts subject where do they live?
Sperm whales will occasionally hunt at this zone for giant squid. Vampire squid(Vampyroteuthis) is the most commonly seen mollusk in this depth. Vampyroteuthis is about the size of a football. It’s body is the colour of dark red and the eyes are blue. Vampyroteuthis is also have the ability to turn itself inside-out. The snake dragon fish is known for one of the most forceful predator in the Bathypelagic zone. Similar to anglerfish, the snake dragon fish also use bioluminescence to attract prey.The anglerfish is the most well known in the Bathypelagic zone for its enormous mouth and a lure that is almost acting like a headlight. It not only have terrifying sharp long teeth on the jaws, but in its throat as well. (Marinebio,
