Toothpick Fish Analysys

Toothpick Fish Analysys

         I took and analyzed data for the four generations. In the first generation, I had eight green fish, one red fish and three orange fish. In the second generation, I had seven green fish, one red fish, one yellow fish and three orange fish. In the third generation, I had six green fish, one red fish, one yellow fish and three orange fish. In the fourth generation, where there was the environmental disaster I had seven green fish, one red fish and three orange fish. The population changed bacause in the environment that these fish live in, it is green where the green fish can easlily camouflage. The red and orange fish hide very well in the colors of algae and seaweed. Sadly, the yellow fish can be seen by their predetors and are eaten. The fish that are dead get put into the morgue. Because these fish got eaten the population changed and the population of fish decreased.
           The environmenmental impact of the fish pond is that these fish are being eaten! Now the fish population has decreased. This means that there would be less offsprings. Also, after the environmental disaster the green fish also got eaten. the algae and seaweed died. Because the fish food died there is a possibility that some of the other colored fish could have died from starvation. If some fish had offsprings the offsprings could have also died because they couldn't camouflage or from starvation. This was a huge environmental impact. If this project were changed my predection would be take all information independantly.Instead of losing the fish we could increase the amount of fish we have. This is how I think we could change the Toothpick Fish project.
