The Invasion of the Lionfish


What was once just an attractive aquarium fish has recently become one of the biggest menaces in the Atlantic. The lionfish was accidentally introduced into the Atlantic Ocean in the 1990s. Because it has no natural predators, it has adapted quickly to its new home. The lionfish now threatens to destroy native fish populations in the Atlantic, Caribbean, and Gulf of Mexico.


The lionfish spreads quite rapidly. Lionfish spread faster than any other invading species. Experts have called the invasion in the Atlantic the worst marine invasion of all time. The lionfish's success comes from an ability to reproduce all year round. In addition, they are greedy eaters with a fondness for small fish and crustaceans. They will eat anything smaller than they are. Lionfish love the warm waters of the Gulf of Mexico. Since their first sighting, they have rapidly multiplied. In some locations, scientists estimate that lionfish populations exploded by 700 percent between 2004 and 2008 alone.


To combat the invasion, wildlife agencies have sponsored lionfish derbies. In these derbies, local scuba divers are invited to harvest lionfish. In addition, many states offer recipes for preparing and eating lionfish to encourage harvesting. Lionfish have to be handled carefully because of their venomous spines, but they are apparently delicious. Increasing the harvest of lionfish will help. However, scientists estimate that more than a quarter of the population would have to be taken every month to stop the growing population.


The lionfish has targeted our most fragile and important ecosystems. Scientists are working tirelessly to learn as much as they can about this predator. We may never be able to completely remove the threat, but many fishermen and seafood fans are hoping we can figure out how to control it.

Answer:

37/10

( I hope this was helpful) >;D

Answer:

35 , 36 , 37

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the consecutive integers be x, (x + 1) , (x +2)

x + x + 1 + x +2 = 108

x + x + x + 1 + 2 = 108          {Combine like terms}

     3x + 3   = 108          {Subtract 3 from both sides}

             3x = 108 - 3

            3x = 105            {Divide both sides by 3}

              x = 105/3

               x = 35

The three integers are, 35 , 36 , 37

p is the answer!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Answer:

70.99

Step-by-step explanation:

Use Pythagorean Theorem to find the shortest distance.

80^2-50^2=3900

Square rt= 62.44

Subtract by 15

47.44

Next find half of the circular path it is (3.14 x 15)/2

23.55

Add 47.44+23.55=70.99

Hope this is correct

Answer: Option D.

Step-by-step explanation:

An exponential function is something like:

f(x) = A*(r)^x

Where:

A = initial amount.

r = rate of growth

x = variable.

This type of function is used to describe situations like "you have A dollars, and it increases by 30% each week"

or:

"There is a population of A animals, and it doubles each year"

Let's analyze briefly all the given options and see which one is an exponential function.

A) The water level of a tank decreases by 5 gallons every day.

This is a linear relation, if W is the initial amount of water, and x is the number of days, then the water level of the tank after x days is:

y = W - 5 gal*x

B) The amount of money collected by a charity increases by $5,000 each year.

The amount collected increases $5000 each year.

Then if in year 1 they collected A.

in year 2 they collected A + $5000

in year 3 they collected A + 2*$5000

We already can see the pattern, this is a linear relation:

in year X they colected A + (X - 1)*$5000

C) A tree was 10 feet tall when purchased and grows at a rate of 2 feet per year.

if y is the height of the tree, and x is the number of years, this can be written as:

y = 10ft + x*2ft

Again, a linear relation.

D) The number of people in a stadium is decreasing at a rate of 45% every 10 minutes.

Let's define x as each "lapse" of 10 minutes that passes.

If N is the initial number of people in te stadium, then after 10 minutes the number of people is = N*(1 - 45%/100%) = N*(1 - 0.45) = N*0.55

After another 10 minutes, the population decreases again.

N*0.55*(1 - 45%/100%) = N*0.55*0.55 = N*0.55^2

We can see the pattern here, this can be written as

People(x) = N*(0.55)^x

This is an exponential function.

Answer:

Simplify first:

-4n - 20 = 8

Add 20 to both sides:

-4n = 28

Divide by -4:

Therefore you will get:

n = -7

Answer:

n = -7.

Step-by-step explanation:

-4(n + 5) = 8

-4n - 20 = 8

-4n = 28

n = -7.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Price at the end of 1 month = $59 ⋅ 1.03 = $60.77

Solution :

Here, we are interested to study if the treatments have any effect on going tumor or not. Actually, this is model is an ANOVA one way layout with a treatment 'drug'.

In this kind of model or ANOVA model, we take the negative statement as our null hypothesis i.e.,

[tex]$H_0:$[/tex] There is no difference in the distribution of tumors states across the three  statements.

Therefore, alternative hypothesis would be :

[tex]$H_a:$[/tex] There is a difference in the distribution of tumor states across the three treatments.

So the correct option is (B).

Answer:

.975 mi²

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello There!

Formula for area of a triangle [tex]A =\frac{1}{2}bh[/tex]

where b = base and h = height

the dimensions of the triangle shown are b = 1.5 and h = 1.3

given the dimensions all we have to do is plug in the values into the formula

so

[tex]A=\frac{1}{2} 1.3*1.5\\1.3*1.5=1.95\\\\\frac{1.95}{2} =0.975[/tex]

so we can conclude that the area of the triangle is

.975 mi²

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

ABC:

A = 10 degrees

B = 145 degrees

145 + 10 = 165

180 - 165 = 15 degrees

C = 15 degrees

MNP:

M = 145 degrees

N = 15 degrees

P = so therefore, P is 165 degrees

MNP is similar to ABC

Answer:

13.3 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

This question can be solved using Pythagoras theorem

The Pythagoras theorem : a² + b² = c²

where a = length = 20

b = base

c = diagonal = 24

24^2 = 20^2 + b^2

576 = 400 + b^2

b^2 = 176

b = 13.3

Answer:

The system of equations are:

s + b = 1650.... Equation 1

0.04s + 1.5b = 1818........ Equation 2

The number of

Small trees = 450 trees

The number of Big trees = 1200 trees

Step-by-step explanation:

From the above question

Small trees = s

Large trees = b

An urban forest has 1,650 large and small trees.

Hence,

s + b = 1650.... Equation 1

s = 1650 -b

A large tree, b, removes 1.5 kg of pollution from the air each year. A small tree, s, removes 0.04 kg of pollution each year. Together, these trees remove 1,818 kg of pollution each year.

Hence:

0.04s + 1.5b = 1818........ Equation 2

We substitute 1650 - b for s

0.04(1650 - b) + 1.5b = 1818

66 - 0.04b + 1.5b = 1818

- 0.04b + 1.5b = 1818 - 66

1.46b = 1752

b = 1752 ÷ 1.46

b = 1200 trees

Solving for x

1650 - b = s

s = 1650 - 1200

s = 450 trees

Answer:

$0.52

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the unit cost of one serving of watermelon, divide the price of the bunch of watermelons by the number of people to be fed

unit price = price of the bunch / total people to be fed

$7.75 / 15 = $0.52

Answer:

60 i think

Step-by-step explanation:

109-180= 71

u=71

71+49=120

120-180=60

109 is on a straight line with an interior angle of a triangle, so 180 - 109 = 71 degrees.

Add two known interior angles (71 + 49) together and you get 120 degrees.

Subtract 120 from 180 (since 180 is the sum of all three interior angles of a triangle) and you get 60 degrees.
