10. Through out the ENBE project I finally realized what is ecosystem.
Ecosystem is a complex set of relationship among the living resources,
habitat, and residents of an area. It includes plants, trees, animals,
microorganism, water, soil, and humans. Ecosystem is defined by the
network of interactions among the organisms, and between organisms
and their environment, they can come in size but usually encompass
specific, limited space. An ecosystem also conduct energy, water,
nitrogen, minerals soil and living organisms. I found all the element
that use to formed an ecosystem in my site for example fish, water, air,
sunlight, plants. Thus a food chain is formed. The food chain is the
basic unit that can form an ecosystem.
11. Red tilapia is a kind manmade hybrid
species. Unlike the wild tilapia which is
blue and dimmer colour, red tilapia
have showy red and pink colour.
There are many type of red tilapia for
example Florida red, Jamaica
red, Taiwan red and ND56.
The similarities for those red tilapia is
they are all hybrid and produce by man
using the biological crossing method
between different species of the tilapia.
The differences between the red tilapia
and the normal tilapia is growing rate.
Red tilapia have a faster growing rate
compare to the normal tilapia
12. Dorsal Fin -
To balancing
the body and
keep upright
Caudal Fin
–
To moving
forward
Pelvic Fin –
To keep the fish stead
by preventing driving
and rolling
movement
Pectoral Fin –
To change
direction and as
a brake to slow
down or stop
the movement
Operculum -
To protect
the gill
Anal Fin –
To maintain
stability while
swimming
13. The Red tilapia (Oreochromis Niloticus).
The length up to 15 inches and the mass up to 9.5 pounds for the adult
fish.
Lives for up to 9 years.
Lives in brackish water and survives in temperatures between 55 and
98F.
Tilapia serves as a natural biological control for most aquatic plants.
Tilapia rarely compare with other “pond” fish for food. Instead, because
they consume plants, and nutrients unused by other fish species and
substantially reduce oxygen-depleting detritus, adding tilapia often
increases the population, size and health of other fish.
17. Habitat: grows in sunny areas with well-drained moist soil
at low elevations.
-Spreading, mat-forming perennial herb up to 30cm
height.
-Has rounded stems up to 40cm long, nothing at nodes
and with the flowering stems ascending.
-Leaves are freshly, hairy, 4-9cm long and 2-5cm wide.
serrete or irregularly toothed, normally with pairs of
lateral lobes, dark green above and lighter green below.
-Peduncles are 3-10cm long.
-Flower are bright yellow ray florets of about 8-13 per
head, rays are 6-15 mm long disk-corollas 4-5cm long.
18. An invasive species
It rapidly forms a dense
ground cover, crowding
away and preventing
other plant species from
regenerating. This species
is widely available as an
ornamental and is
therefore likely to spread
further.
24. Ice cold river
water, comfortable
environment, water
current that passed
through your leg when
you step into water.
25. Sound of the cricket from the jungle and
the water flapping sound produce by the
river.
26. Colour of the animals, green
colour plants and trees, yellow
flower
27. As a conclusion, I felt happy to
have this site visit for my ENBE
project. Through this project I can
understand more about the
relationship between the human
and the animal. Besides, I also have
the chance to know more about the
flora and fauna. Moreover, I also get
to learn about natural by using 5
sense which is touch, sound, taste,
smell, see. At the end I need to
thanks to Ms D, and Miss Norma for
giving us this chance.
