They typically reproduce by laying 25-30 eggs on leaves or rocks however without much protection. Their typical lifespan is of about 5 years and they are considered secondary consumers. They eat small things like dwarf shrimps and are hunted by bigger catfish and sharks.]]> 2020-11-12 01:09:58 UTC https://padlet.com/353245/9rsvzmd5xlcazyn4/wish/914743849 Blue Shark(Prionace glauca) 353245 https://padlet.com/353245/9rsvzmd5xlcazyn4/wish/914796705 The blue shark resides in the ocean in saltwater and at most brackish water.

type of water : freshwater
type of fish : are non-polyp form of creatures of the phylum Cnidaria.
reproduce : they can reproduce sexually by releasing sperm and eggs into the water, forming a planula.
What is the organism life expectancy? just a few hours to several months up to years.
role in the food web : They impact food webs by capturing plankton that would otherwise be eaten by fish and converting that food energy into gelatinous biomass.
prey : The jellyfish is one of the ocean sunfish’s favorite prey, though it consumes crustaceans, squid, fish, and fish larvae as well. While the ocean sunfish can fend off most of its predators, it is powerless in defeating humans, who consider this flatfish as an exotic delicacy.
predators : Examples are the common moon jelly and cannonball jelly, whose stings aren’t strong enough to penetrate human skin. In addition, jellyfish predators often have thick skins, tough scales or mucus-covered bodies that prevent penetration.]]> 2020-11-12 02:26:20 UTC https://padlet.com/353245/9rsvzmd5xlcazyn4/wish/914877442 Krill 4355331 https://padlet.com/353245/9rsvzmd5xlcazyn4/wish/914879382 scientific name :  Euphausiacea
type of water : temperate and subarctic waters
type of fish : Krill are small crustaceans of the order Euphausiacea, and are found in all the world's oceans.
reproduce : In order to fertilize the females eggs during mating periods the male krill will swim up to the female and deposit their sperm sack into the females genital opening.
What is the organism life expectancy? 10 years
role in the food web : primary
prey : For example, krill are predators of phytoplankton but are also the prey of higher predators, penguins. At the next trophic level, penguins are the prey of sharks. The great white shark is an apex predator.

type of water : brackish water
type of fish : jewfish
reproduce :  Males and females release millions of eggs and sperm cells into the water, where fertilization takes place (external fertilization)
What is the organism life expectancy? 30 years
role in the food web : primary
prey : Around line-cutting cover such as rocks and jetty or bridge pylons, heavier gear may be required. While mulloway have strong jaws and sharp, conical teeth for grasping and holding their prey, their capture does not normally demand the use of thick, hard-wearing leaders or traces.
predators :  They do a great deal of their hunting under cover of darkness, but will also feed during daylight hours, especially in dirty or aerated water and under low light conditions.

type of water : Pacific Ocean
type of fish : Grunion are two fish species of the genus Leuresthes
reproduce : California grunion reproduce at night, while Gulf Grunion conduct the same behaviors but during the day. When mating, these fishes are eaten by seabirds, crabs, and other species, and they are sometimes collected for human consumption.
What is the organism life expectancy? 3 to 4 years
role in the food web : secondary
prey : While humans, other large fish and shark eat grunion; shorebirds prey on grunion eggs. "Look for the shorebirds—they always know where to find the grunion,"
predators : An isopod, two species of flies, sandworms, and a beetle have been found preying on the eggs. Some shorebirds such as egrets and herons prey on grunion when the fish are on shore during spawning. Seagulls, sea lions, and larger fish such as sand sharks have also been observed feeding on grunion during a grunion run.]]> 2020-11-12 02:29:36 UTC https://padlet.com/353245/9rsvzmd5xlcazyn4/wish/914883126 Herring 4355331 https://padlet.com/353245/9rsvzmd5xlcazyn4/wish/914885669 scientific name : Clupea

type of fish : Herring, species of slab-sided northern fish belonging to the family Clupeidae
reproduce : Breeding occurs via spawning. This is the process where large groups release their eggs and sperm at the same time, and fertilization occurs outside of the body
What is the organism life expectancy? 12 to 16 years
role in the food web : primary
prey : Food. Herring Gulls prey on marine invertebrates, fish, insects, smaller seabirds, and even on adults, young, and eggs of other gulls
predators : Predators of herring include seabirds, marine mammals such as dolphins, porpoises, whales, seals, and sea lions, predatory fish such as sharks, billfish, tuna, salmon, striped bass, cod, and halibut. Fishermen also catch and eat herring.]]> 2020-11-12 02:31:05 UTC https://padlet.com/353245/9rsvzmd5xlcazyn4/wish/914885669 Irukandji 4355331 https://padlet.com/353245/9rsvzmd5xlcazyn4/wish/917394348 scientific name : Carukia barnesi
type of water : ocean
type of fish : box jellyfish
reproduce : The Irukandji is dioecious, which means that each organism has a specific : male or female. Therefore, to begin the life cycle, males release haploid sperm into the water and females release haploid eggs.
What is the organism life expectancy? 1 year or less
role in the food web : primary
prey : Irukandji jellyfish are small and colorless, making them difficult to find.
predators : For example almost every species of the sea turtle feeds on them, the ocean sunfishes eats them, and a variety of birds feed on them.

type of water : This type of fish lives around the rocky crevices and reef areas around the Indo Pacific Ocean. They are also found in many warm water bodies around the world.
type of fish : Pterois is a genus of venomous marine fish, commonly known as lionfish, native to the Indo-Pacific.
reproduce : They will circle each other face to face while ascending slowly. Just before reaching the surface the female will release her two egg sacks and as the sacks are ascending to the surface the male will turn upside down and release a cloud of sperm into the sacks.
What is the organism life expectancy? 5-10 years
role in the food web : tertiary
prey : Lionfish corner their prey against reefs and rocks, then strike suddenly to swallow the prey whole. A voracious species, lionfishes' stomachs can expand to up to 30 times their normal size after a meal, according to Smithsonian magazine, leaving the fish plenty of room for seconds.
predators :  “Natural predators in the Indo-Pacific and Red Sea that are known to eat lionfish include sharks, cornetfish, grouper, large eels, frogfish and other scorpionfish. There is speculation that large snapper and some species of trigger fish eat lionfish in their native ranges as well.”]]> 2020-11-12 19:43:40 UTC https://padlet.com/353245/9rsvzmd5xlcazyn4/wish/918194954 Clown Fish (Amphiprioninae) 353245 https://padlet.com/353245/9rsvzmd5xlcazyn4/wish/920352478 This type of fish lives in the oceans and typically resides in Saltwater.
