The next two slides were provided to show the materials and children enjoying the activity.
The next three slides were provided for introductory material into fish anatomy and swim bladder location. Some illustrations of swim bladder expansion are also included.
Physostmous swim bladder: connects to gut Physoclistous swim bladder: connects to circulatory system www.jochemnet.de/.../ BSC1011_17/sld006.htm
The next four slides were provided as evidence of commercial fisheries and the amount of fish they catch at one time. Photos were also included of by-catch to illustrate the graphic nature of commercial fishing. Make note that by-catch levels range from 2:1 (by-catch:target species) to greater than 10:1. Note the diversity of fishes in the last slide of this section.
Bycatch: what is it? Any “non-target” species that is considered undesirable by the the fisherman. Can bycatch survive?
The next (and final) slide was provided to show a fish card and illustrate how they work. It is best to have internet access on the computer you are using to present this material so that you can use the card. Simply click on a fish name and you will be taken to a website about that fish, which will include its status as a fishery and whether it should be eaten.
