Captive Killer Whales Blackfish is a movie about an orca named Tilikum who was captured at a young age and taken to perform at Sealand. Within a year and a half he was moved to Seaworld for breeding purposes and because Sealand shut down. Tilikum soon became a great attraction and everyone wanted to see him and all the trainers wanted to train him. They all thought Tilikum was an excellent whale, but that is because they were never told that anything bad happened.…

When someone look or think about the ocean, the most commun thought are that is a peaceful , beautiful , and wonderful place where they can find the most incredible creatures, also that the blue is so peaceful that just from see it make them calm. However does they know the deep-part of the ocean and what is hiding benit there. Most of the people don't know what is down there, specially what creatures live and how they survive to the extreme environment that is the deep-sea. The Giant Squid , Zombie Worms,Jellyfish and Yeti Crabs are some of the ”deep-sea creatures ,“ or, in other words they are the “survivors of the deep-sea, “ since they everyday survive to the low temperatures, the darkness and the hard way of getting food. This creatures…
Another animal adapted to the abiotic factors of the Nudgee Beach mangrove ecosystem is the common soldier crab (Mictyris longicarpus). The common soldier crab is a small crustacean that typically travels in “armies” of thousands to ensure strength in numbers when feeding. Soldier crabs feed off of particle detritus in the mudflat sediment and retreat back into the sand as the tide rises [11]. With their jointed legs and pointed dactylus, soldier crabs are able to burrow underground and can remain secluded – by creating an air pocket around them – for as long as the tide is high. This…
A man had something amazing living in his fish tank, and he did not notice it for two years. He decided to clean out his fish tank one day because he noticed that there were coral colonies missing. While he was cleaning out the tank, he noticed a bristle worm. The bristle worm is also known as a Polychaete. He stated that after he discovered the bristle worm, he only saw it three times over the course of a year.…
Blackfish belong in the wild and not in captivity. During the video one of the trainers said “Tilikum; one of the blackfish,has a curved fin”. It is due to captivity because it is a proven fact that less that 1% of blackfish get curved fins, and the ones that do usually are in captivity. Curved fins can also be caused by having no space in which to swim freely which is overall unacceptable and inhumane .This is a good example on why blackfish belong in the sea instead of a trapped closed in place. Holding animals captive is cruel.…
Killer whales, also known as orcas, are the largest members of the dolphin family and the top predator in their ecosystem. They are one of the most intelligent marine creatures, especially due to their acute senses of sight and hearing. This mammal has an added part of the brain that allows the orcas to communicate between orcas. This language allows them to be social between other whales and also social with human beings. Their beauty has astounded humans for generations, but for many orcas captivity limits their freedom and their quality of life.…
Ever since the release of Blackfish, SeaWorld has come under harsh criticisms from animal rights activists. The question is, who do we trust? A multimillion dollar company or people who are extremely passionate about animals? SeaWorld was originally planned to be an underwater restaurant.…
Arthropods are made up mostly of crustacean about 50,000 known and divided into groups; Branchiopods, Maxillopods, Malacostraca and Ostracods. The Malacostraca is divided into five different groups, decapods, stomatopods, euphausiids, amphipod and isopods. Decapods include crabs, lobster and shrimp it’s the largest species. Decapod means ten to five pairs of legs most first pair are modified as large claws, called chelipeds. Most decapods hatch as a zoea but on some occasion shrimp can hatch a nauplius.…
Out of the three school i researched my first choice would be CSU Channel Islands, then CSU Northridge and finally Los Angeles Trade- Technical College. CSUCI would be my first choice because they are near the beach and i will have many opportunities to examine different kinds of fish first hand. Also i want to experience what it's like living without my parents because it's something that will happen eventually and it's better if im already used to living alone or with roommates.…
At low tide, it looks like a small red blob on crevices near rock pools. In this state, it has all its tentacles drawn in to minimise its exposure…
SeaWorld. We have all heard the name, considering they were once one of the most successful amusement parks in the world. Everyone wanted to come see Shamu, the huge majestic killer whale, do tricks so close to us we could get soaked. The whales always seemed to be in sync with the performers; we thought nothing could top getting splashed by gallons of water by a humongous whale. Unfortunately, in recent years, the saying “all press is good press” has not seemed to apply to SeaWorld.…
In contrast to most sea creatures, these unique critters “live on the skeletons of whales, which drift down to the ocean floor” (Ennis). Because zombie worms are attached to the whale bones, they must use them to contribute to their diet. These ocean animals “lack a mouth and gut, [so] the worms drill into the bones [to] extract the stored nutrients” (Ennis). Without this adaptation, zombie worms would starve and die. Zombie worms also have an additional way to digest food through their bodies; they “[use] a process called symbiosis, in which the worms depend on the internal bacteria to digest the fats and oils extracted from their whale-bone diet” (Ennis).…

Everyone I am close to loves fish. My big sis loves fish, my grandma loves fish, my little sister loves fish, and my cousins love fish, but I absolutely HATE FISH.…
