ASSIGNMENT NO. 3
Directions: As you finished making your power point presentation, answer the
following questions: (NOTE: A minimum of 2 paragraphs per question as your
answer)
1. What will happened if the animal that you researched will be extinct or change in
its habitat like migration to other countries permanently?
Salmon fish creates an effect when it come to our climate change. Salmon
fishes are able to migrate from one place to another that begins their life in
freshwater and migrates to the ocean to feed and grow, and returns to freshwater to
spawn. This increased the temperature of freshwater streams, making salmons
more susceptible to predators, parasites and diseases. This also make the heat
reduces snowpack and causes glaciers to retreat which means that the rivers and
streams have less water where it can make difficulties for salmon to travel.
Salmon fish helps to warmer the water temperatures locally and for the
species including the salmon itself. However, too much warm water impairs the
salmon’s immune systems as it is very harmful which make it harder for them to
survive as the it affects such viruses and other pathogens. Technically, it will not
only harm the salmon itself, but as well as the freshwater and the marine
ecosystem. Therefore, people must reduce waste and keep chemicals away of
rivers and streams as these are indeed harmful.
2. Are you concerned by the effect of migration of these animals?
At a certain time, it concerned as the I have this idea that they migrate to
look for food. This only means that their place where they were born or where
they are staying is not in the right condition and people did extend a massive part
on making them migrate to another place. However, salmon fishes go back to the
place where they were born as that is the place where they are comfortable living
at. For them, it is a good place to spawn and they will not have to waste their time
in looking for stream with good habitat and where other salmon lives.
Salmon fishes migrate for good and only affect the climate change once
they constantly move from places to different places. Moreover, the good thing is
that they are still able to go back to the place where they born as most of them stop
eating once they return to freshwater and have no energy left once they return
from a trip to the ocean after spawning. Unlike other salmon specifically Pacific
Salmon or Atlantic Salmon, they will not die after spawning. Therefore, adult
salmons can repeat the spawning cycle for several years as they are used to it and
had practiced most of the time.
3. What can you do to protect these wild life from migrating to others countries or
will be in danger?
It is normal for the salmon fishes to migrate from one place to another for
them to feed and be able to grow. As long as they are able to go back to their
homes it is all good. However, there are cases that some salmon fishes are not able
to eat once they got back home as they already lose their energy which will cause
them to die. That is one of the things that people must be aware of that not all of
the salmon fishes are able to survive after spawning. What is odd is that they
constantly move from places to another places and that is something that people
must take an action of. It is quite alarming when salmon fishes do that as that is
the sign that they are not able to look for a place where they can hunt for good
which can might lost their energy and die afterwards.
It is important to help this species as this also provide people which is one
of the healthiest. There are a lot of ways to protect salmon fishes and all the other
kinds of fishes in the spawn such as avoiding the harmful chemicals and must
reduce waste away from the rivers for them to survive. It is also my duty as a
concerned citizen to let people know and let them aware about the certain things
and how they can affect the species under water and the climate change.
Therefore, it is important to have one in hand to help the species under water and
let them live with a healthy environment and comfortable place to spawn.
