In the table below, record all of the steps you follow to identify each plankton species. 1a. Most plankton are symmetrical in two planes go to 2 1b. Plankton are asymmetrical or symmetrical in only one plane go to 6 2a. Most plankton are spherical, with smaller, dark circles inside Volvox 2b. Most plankton are not spherical go to 3 3a. Most plankton are rectangular go to 4 3b. Most plankton are not rectangular go to 5 4a. Most plankton are stacked in multiples Diatoms 4b. Most plankton are not stacked, but are long and thin oscillatoria 5a. Plankton is two to four times as long as it is wide euglena 5b. Plankton is more than five times long as it is wide Closterium 6a. Plankton has clear appendages Copepods 6b.

19 The Avril Gulf Tuna Fishery The Current Condition of the Avril Gulf Tuna Fishery The community of Avril Gulf is on the coast of the Atlantic Ocean. It has a total coastline of 55 km (34 miles). Avril Gulf s total fishing area covers 275, km 2 (16,178 sq mi) adjacent to the coast, as shown in the map below. Avril boundary of Avril Gulf fishing area N Atlantic Ocean KEY proposed marine reserve proposed aquaculture open net pens Scale 2 4 kilometers Avril Gulf s waters are home to several species of oceanic fish, including tuna, spotted flying fish, and blue striped fish. The top predators in the marine ecosystem are gray sharks and Avril seals. The trophic relationships among these organisms are shown in the food web below. 211 The Regents of the University of California gray shark spotted flying fish Avril Gulf tuna zooplankton Avril seal blue striped fish phytoplankton Science & Global issues/ecology Student sheet 18.1

20 The Avril Gulf Tuna Fishery (continued) In the 197s, the population along Avril Gulf s coast grew. Economic prosperity in the 197s and 8s led to an increase in jobs and public resources, including schools and health care. People flocked to the coast to work in the fishery. In the 198s, Avril Gulf s economy continued to thrive as the fishery caught, processed, and sold Avril Gulf tuna. Improvements in fishing technology, such as faster boats and more accurate radar for finding schools of fish, allowed fishermen to bring in big catches. While this growth meant higher income for a great number of families, new housing developments built along the coastline affected the coastal waters. Building caused erosion and runoff of contaminants into coastal waters, which damaged the spawning grounds of the Avril Gulf tuna. The Avril Gulf Tuna Fishery is Closed A dramatic drop in Avril Gulf tuna numbers, as shown in the graph below, prompted Avril Gulf to close the tuna fishery in 21 in an attempt to save the declining tuna population. 1, Number of fish 5, fishing closed The Regents of the University of California In its place, local fishermen have begun catching the spotted flying fish to take to market. Worldwide, there is less demand for this fish, and as a result it is sold at a low price. Avril Gulf is facing a big challenge. With the closing of the tuna fishery, residents are concerned that the economy may suffer. Avril Gulf has an opportunity to make a decision that will affect the sustainability of its coastal communities. Science & Global issues/ecology Student sheet 18.1
