Sea Creatures Reatures Sea Creatures Watercolor and colored pencils th By 5 graders Mrs. Bolton’s and Mr. Wells’ classes Stony Point Elementary School April 2015 Sea Creature Project Our sea creature projects were a long and hard process. We started out with finding an interesting animal that we wanted to learn more about. Then, we took some small notes and a sketch of the animal. After that, we did a more detailed sketch. Our class drew a final drawing on a piece of strong art paper. We painted the paper blue and put salt on it to make it look like the ocean. Soon after that, we took colored pencils and made our animals have color. We had to do it in layers, so that they would look bold. After the coloring, our class took more detailed notes and divided them into headings. We went to Word and put the notes onto pages. We made covers, put in pictures, and other cool pages. When we were all done, we used the color printer to print them. And that is how we made our sea creature books! Hope you like them. “I decided to do a narwhal because they’re awesome. First, I researched it and sorted it on cards. Then I typed it up and put pictures to make my pages interesting.” Lionfish By AustinBy Austin Venom needle fins Look out, don’t get close to oneclose one They have lightning fast reflexes Red and white zebra stripes turkeyfish, dragonfish worldwide, 15 inches long Grouper Large mouth, small teeth Special teeth to handle prey Eats everything that comes to it Lives on rocky sea beds Over-fished by people Tasty to eat ‘cause they have a bunch of meat By Amontae McCoy Spotted Dolphin By Alexis Waldemar Babies have no spots When age 4, they get their spots They leave mom when they are 5 They eat fish and squid They live in tropical water They have lots of pointed teeth SPERM WHALE Sperm whales are awesome they have a gigantic brain in the good book Moby Dick tail hangs floppily lives at surface of ocean eats giant squid for dinner -Ben SPERM WHALE HABITAT The sperm whale (physeter macrocephalus) can be found in any ocean, cold or warm water. FOOD CHAIN Giant squid is 80% of the sperm whale’s diet. The rest is octopus, shrimp, fish, crab and other creatures. It can be dangerous for whales to get its food because the squid fight back. The sperm whales’ only predator, besides humans, is orcas that will attack weak adults and babies. INTERESTING FACTS 1. Sperm whales have the largest brain of any animal in existence (5 times the size of a human’s). 2. Sperm whales are the largest toothed mammal. 3. They live to be about 60 years old. 4. Adult males live alone, and women and calves live together. 5. Adults can eat up to a ton (2,000 lbs.) of food per day. PHYSICAL CHARACTERISTICS The head of a sperm whale is squared, with a small jaw. The head is large and is ⅓ of its body length. They have one blow hole on the left side of their head. This blow hole projects forward instead of up. BEHAVIORAL CHARACTERISTICS Sperm whales do a low blow as they come up to the surface of the ocean. They spend most of their time at the surface. When they come up only their head comes up and their tail hangs floppily down. Sometimes two or more groups of sperm whales combine to make a group of twenty to thirty sperm whales. Female sperm whales spend most of their time at the surface, and twenty five percent of their time sleeping. All of this is done in the day time. Manta Ray by Carter Flying through water Floating plankton in my mouth Swimming in a coral reef Black and white colors No stinger on tip of tail Two black and white wings to swim o Manta rays are the biggest rays. They can grow up to 25 feet long! That’s more than half the length of a school bus! They have two types of fins; the cephalic fins that are stuck to their faces, and the pectoral fins that they use to move and steer. Male mantas are bigger than female mantas. Two types of fins, pectoral and cephalic Pectoral are for swimming MANTA RAY cephalic are the things Anatomy stuck to their face WHOA! That’s a big ray. Manta rays are no doubt, BIG FISH. They can grow up to 25 feet long and weigh 3000 pounds. cephalic fins Cephalic fins are not just fins stuck to a face of a Manta Ray, they have a use. Feeding The cephalic fins help with feeding by filtering plankton out from the water. Giant Squid By Case Norford A dull red color Eats smaller squids and small sharks Lives in cold arctic waters Weighs about a ton Longer than colossal As long as a semi-truck WHAT DID THE GIANT SQUID SAY TO THE NEWSCASTER? WHAT? YOU’RE SQUIDDIN ME RIGHT KNOCK KNOCK WHO’S THERE? GIANT GIANT WHO GIANT SQUID! HELP BOLT THE DOOR!! WHAT DO YOU GET WHEN YOU CROSS A SQUID AND A DOG? WHAT? A VERY FRIGHTENED MAILMAN! Giant squids grow up in places that are safe. Most live in Arctic waters. Their only predators are deep sea sharks. Giant squids have been spotted off the coast of New Zealand. Giant squids live in the midnight zone. Green Sea Turtle Gliding through water Eating sea grass and algae Migrating long distances Cute little hatchlings Scurrying to the ocean Returning to where they hatched Amazing Green Sea Turtles By Charlotte Do I see a shark?!! Green Sea Turtles live in tropical and subtropical areas. These turtles are slow, even in water. Green Sea Turtles are the largest hard shelled turtles. Sea Turtle Jokes What did the Green Sea Turtle say to the Sea Grass? Pleased to eat you! Predators Adult Green Sea Turtles only predators are sharks, because they are big and have hard shells. Baby Green Sea Turtles are a different story. They’re small, and their shells are soft. At hatching time, there are thousands scurrying to the ocean. Crabs, raccoons, and seabirds all get an easy meal. Food Green Sea Turtles eat sea grass and algae FUN FACT Green Sea Turtles are one of the only vegetarian turtles.

They drink the water off the top of the ocean. Sea snakes are also called coral reef snakes. There are over 50 species of sea snakes. One of these is hydrophiinae. Sea snakes may swim up rivers. They have been seen 160 kilometers (99 mi.) from the sea.

Move around alot 2. Eat enormous amounts of food If they are disturbed some can even swim away. These creatures have complex sense organs which are able to detect their food. This nudibranch feeds on sponges, algae, and anemones. They eat enormous amounts of spicy foods without paying the consequences. You can find these nudibranchs almost anywhere. When you snorkel, you may see them in the sandy shallows and reefs. They go all the way down to the murky waters of 1 mile down. These nudibranchs are cute, but did you know some physical characteristics of this creature? They’re snails without a shell, so like a slug. They crawl on their belly flesh, it might sound gross. It also has a rasp-like tongue.

  • 18 Special Habitats and Special Adaptations 395
    THE DIVERSITY OF FISHES Dedications: To our parents, for their encouragement of our nascent interest in things biological; To our wives – Judy, Sara, Janice, and RuthEllen – for their patience and understanding during the production of this volume; And to students and lovers of fishes for their efforts toward preserving biodiversity for future generations. Front cover photo: A Leafy Sea Dragon, Phycodurus eques, South Australia. Well camouflaged in their natural, heavily vegetated habitat, Leafy Sea Dragons are closely related to seahorses (Gasterosteiformes: Syngnathidae). “Leafies” are protected by Australian and international law because of their limited distribution, rarity, and popularity in the aquarium trade. Legal collection is highly regulated, limited to one “pregnant” male per year. See Chapters 15, 21, and 26. Photo by D. Hall, www.seaphotos.com. Back cover photos (from top to bottom): A school of Blackfin Barracuda, Sphyraena qenie (Perciformes, Sphyraenidae). Most of the 21 species of barracuda occur in schools, highlighting the observation that predatory as well as prey fishes form aggregations (Chapters 19, 20, 22). Blackfins grow to about 1 m length, display the silvery coloration typical of water column dwellers, and are frequently encountered by divers around Indo-Pacific reefs. Barracudas are fast-start predators (Chapter 8), and the pan-tropical Great Barracuda, Sphyraena barracuda, frequently causes ciguatera fish poisoning among humans (Chapter 25). Longhorn Cowfish, Lactoria cornuta (Tetraodontiformes: Ostraciidae), Papua New Guinea. Slow moving and seemingly awkwardly shaped, the pattern of flattened, curved, and angular trunk areas made possible by the rigid dermal covering provides remarkable lift and stability (Chapter 8).

  • OSTRACIIDAE Boxfishes by K
    click for previous page 3948 Bony Fishes OSTRACIIDAE Boxfishes by K. Matsuura iagnostic characters: Small to medium-sized (to 40 cm) fishes; body almost completely encased Din a bony shell or carapace formed of enlarged, thickened scale plates, usually hexagonal in shape and firmly sutured to one another; no isolated bony plates on caudal peduncle. Carapace triangular, rectangular, or pentangular in cross-section, with openings for mouth, eyes, gill slits, pectoral, dorsal, and anal fins, and for the flexible caudal peduncle. Scale-plates often with surface granulations which are prolonged in some species into prominent carapace spines over eye or along ventrolateral or dorsal angles of body. Mouth small, terminal, with fleshy lips; teeth moderate, conical, usually less than 15 in each jaw. Gill opening a moderately short, vertical to oblique slit in front of pectoral-fin base. Spinous dorsal fin absent; most dorsal-, anal-, and pectoral-fin rays branched; caudal fin with 8 branched rays; pelvic fins absent. Lateral line inconspicuous. Colour: variable, with general ground colours of either brown, grey, or yellow, usually with darker or lighter spots, blotches, lines, and reticulations. carapace no bony plates on caudal peduncle 8 branched caudal-fin rays Habitat, biology, and fisheries: Slow-swimming, benthic-dwelling fishes occurring on rocky and coral reefs and over sand, weed, or sponge-covered bottoms to depths of 100 m. Feed on benthic invertebrates. Taken either by trawl, other types of nets, or traps. Several species considered excellent eating in southern Japan, although some species are reported to have toxic flesh and are also able to secrete a substance when distressed that is highly toxic, both to other fishes and themselves in enclosed areas such as holding tanks.

  • Annotated Checklist of the Fish Species (Pisces) of La Réunion, Including a Red List of Threatened and Declining Species
    Stuttgarter Beiträge zur Naturkunde A, Neue Serie 2: 1–168; Stuttgart, 30.IV.2009. 1 Annotated checklist of the fish species (Pisces) of La Réunion, including a Red List of threatened and declining species RONALD FR ICKE , THIE rr Y MULOCHAU , PA tr ICK DU R VILLE , PASCALE CHABANE T , Emm ANUEL TESSIE R & YVES LE T OU R NEU R Abstract An annotated checklist of the fish species of La Réunion (southwestern Indian Ocean) comprises a total of 984 species in 164 families (including 16 species which are not native). 65 species (plus 16 introduced) occur in fresh- water, with the Gobiidae as the largest freshwater fish family. 165 species (plus 16 introduced) live in transitional waters. In marine habitats, 965 species (plus two introduced) are found, with the Labridae, Serranidae and Gobiidae being the largest families; 56.7 % of these species live in shallow coral reefs, 33.7 % inside the fringing reef, 28.0 % in shallow rocky reefs, 16.8 % on sand bottoms, 14.0 % in deep reefs, 11.9 % on the reef flat, and 11.1 % in estuaries. 63 species are first records for Réunion. Zoogeographically, 65 % of the fish fauna have a widespread Indo-Pacific distribution, while only 2.6 % are Mascarene endemics, and 0.7 % Réunion endemics. The classification of the following species is changed in the present paper: Anguilla labiata (Peters, 1852) [pre- viously A. bengalensis labiata]; Microphis millepunctatus (Kaup, 1856) [previously M. brachyurus millepunctatus]; Epinephelus oceanicus (Lacepède, 1802) [previously E. fasciatus (non Forsskål in Niebuhr, 1775)]; Ostorhinchus fasciatus (White, 1790) [previously Apogon fasciatus]; Mulloidichthys auriflamma (Forsskål in Niebuhr, 1775) [previously Mulloidichthys vanicolensis (non Valenciennes in Cuvier & Valenciennes, 1831)]; Stegastes luteobrun- neus (Smith, 1960) [previously S.

First report of Lactoria cornuta from the west coast of India – Evidence of the role of tropical cyclone Ockhi Muhammed Zafar Iqbal A.N.1*, Gurudev Mali1, Raghavendra Dollin1 1. Post Graduate Department of Zoology, Government First Grade College, Karwar, Karnataka, India. Corresponding Author Dr Muhammed Zafar Iqbal A.N. Post Graduate Department of Zoology, Government First Grade College, Karwar, Karnataka, India. Email: [email protected] Abstract India is known for its rich biodiversity and is fortunate to have several endemic species from different classes of vertebrates. India is home to 7.5% of the global fish diversity, with 91 endemic species of ray finned fishes, the actinopterygians. Some fish species have never been reported until recently, and one such example is the long-horned Cowfish (Ostracidae), best known for inhabiting only certain areas of the Indo-Pacific oceans. However, it has been reported recently in the Bay of Bengal, but never on the west coast of India. This is the first time this fish has been found on the west coast of India. Given its morphology, the migration seems highly improbable since it can only endure lethargic swimming. In this article, we have explored the role of other external forces that could have contributed to its journey to the west coast of India. As such, we recognize the role of Super Cyclone Ockhi as a vital force in determining the expansion of its range.
