3) In the 1990’s Florida Fish and Game wanted to control a population of lamprey that had been introduced into Lake Okeechobee b

y placing a nerve inhibitor into the lake that would ultimately kill lamprey. Because ray-finned fish don’t have this receptor they would not be effected. This proposal was meet with resistance by local environmental groups because the effects had not been studied on lancelets. Being a concerned citizen, take a position and support or reject the proposal and support your position.

Answer:

There needs to be further studies

Explanation:

To Whom it may concern:

I have been advised that the Florida Fish and Game board is intending to control the lamprey population by using a nerve inhibitor. While I applaud your efforts, I am deeply concerned that this will have unknown effects on the other fish such as the lancets that live in the water. I am doubly concerned that it may have an effect on water quality, the plants that are dependent on the water and the people in the surrounding areas that depend on this water source for survival.

Please furnish any data you have on the previous concerns that I have delineated above and allow the citizens to have a meeting to discuss the changes that you intend to make.

Signed

Conserned citizens of Florida

Answer:

If the oil spilled in the gulf would have been processed oil, it would be worse than a normal oil spill as these oils have a higher shelf life.

Explanation:

Oil spills happen when a large quantity of oil gets mixed with large water bodies like <em>sea and oceans</em>. The oil being denser than water floats on the surface and does not mix with the water. It forms a coating on top of the water.

The difference between processed oil and normal oil is that they are heated at very <u>high temperatures</u> and this results in oxidation which creates <em>free radicals</em>, which are not good for the body and its cells. Also they have a very long shelf life due to which they will remain on water for a long time.

When oil spills happen, the <em>wind</em> cause the spill to spread over the water surface, thereby engulfing a large amount of area. The major disadvantages of the spill are:-

  • The oil gets stuck in the feathers of the birds who come by to dip themselves,
  • Animals like whale, dolphins have blow holes for releasing water. the oil covers these holes and makes it difficult for them to breathe.
  • The fur of animals like <u>seal and otter </u>gets mixed with the oil and can prove harmful to them as it gets them exposed to cold.
  • The overall BOD of the water body decreases, and organisms which use sun rays coming inside the ocean suffer as these get blocked.
  • Since processed oil has longer shelf life, a large quantity of animals will suffer and die.
