I think that new fish arriving in new areas can effect food chains because we are talking about this in class I know that one thing can mess up an entire food chain, so if new fish come in they may breed and overpopulate and if they are predators they could consume other fish that aren't normally in that part of a food chain.

I agree with you, Wolf! We did learn a little about this in class. These food chains and webs are in great danger.

I agree, once one organism dies off it can affect the other organisms.

i agree with you wolf because lets say algae gets eaten by a sunfish and then a shark eats the sunfish,if the sunfish isn't there,the sharks will die and algae will spread every where.

I think that all animals that eat the animals that come to California because animals that also eat them will die and break the food chain.

I agree, animals that leave because of climate change is a big problem. Because then animals that eat them will starve and will have two choices: 1. Move OR 2. Become extinct. Hopefuly they move with their food because if they don't they'll become extinct! If this temperature change ends soon most will be quite happy.

I think that this is affecting the food web, and the fish must be very confused to be swimming where they aren't usually found. The temperature is messing up many food chains and food webs, because some animals part of the new sea animals in California's food chains and webs aren't in this environment.

I agree with you Natasha because the fish that are not part of that food chain and sees a fish it has never seen before and might try and eat it.If that fish eats another fish it has never seen,it might die because it's not part of its diet.

I agree with you Natasha. Not only for the species that live up north, but the species that stayed in their natural habitat must be confused because they don't know where their food is. this isn't good for many species!! In fact, it might completely ruin the food chain!

I think that the warmer water is definitely bad for the food chains, and food webs. That is, because fish will be swimming in an area different than usual, so the predator of that fish will not find any food so they"ll starve and eventually die. Then the food chain will die off. The warm water is not only bad for the ocean life buts also bad for the ocean environment.

Well, the water's temperature change probabally will affect other organisms and will continue for another few months. Hopefuly not for to much longer though because it sounds like the temperature change is really hurting all the food chains. And, did anyone notice that Mrs. Chenu didn't put up any questions? I'm not sure what else there is for me to say.

Celeste, I agree that the temperatures rising is definitely effecting the sea life, and also the food chains. I'll hope with you. PLEASE DON'T RISE ANY MORE!!! By the way, Mrs Chenu DID put a question. It was, "What is the most interesting part of the article? Explain why you think this. Respond to at least two other student entries." You don't have to, but maybe, now that you know her question, you should answer it. BYE!!!

I think there is really no way to stop the temperature of the water.The wind is changing causing warm water animals to come to north and South America.In the article it said a fisherman caught an endangered green Sea turtle and it said in addition that another fisherman caught a tripletail fish.

I think that the warm waters are effecting food chains and food webs because if one pray dies or is not in its habitat its predator will die and then every predator and pray will starve to death! But they're are is some problems like it is impossible to change the temperature!

Warm waters are affecting sea animals. They are making them come to California coast. Because of that it is making them reach land and they can not survive without water. Also once one sea animal dies off then another and another etc will. The sea animals won't have any food to eat and then they will then become extinct. It is affecting the earth but there are some problems that we cannot fix.

I agree with you Ryan because it might make the food chains and webs a little more complicated and the preys and predators won't have enough food. Also the prey would grow into a bigger amount and eat every of its food and will die a natural death.

In my opinion it is very weird that animals live in different parts of the country but they were found where they were not suppose to be in. Like when green sea turtles were suppose to be in Galapagos Islands but instead they were in San Francisco. The animals are breaking up food chains and food webs because the animals that went to a different part of the country would be starving but the prey's amount would be growing and eat their preys fast and will have nothing to eat and they would die a natural death, also the predators might be starving without their prey and would die a natural death like the prey that animal has.

You're right. It is very odd for animals to be found in places that they aren't suppose to be in. Because of the animals that move, the food chain can be broken up.

I think that the temperature is affecting the animals, also I think that the affects there food and if a predator stays where the animal was originally living they may die because they wouldn't find food, and if one animals dies in the food chain the others animals will die too. And not only is it happening to one food chain it is happening to many other food chains. They may not be caught in time too

I think that the weather is messing up the animals instincts because the fish are in areas where they have never been like that Galapagos Sea Turtle that is usually at Mexico.Scientists said the wind change this fall and H.J. Walker said that they are following the water temperature.They say they are going to warmer spots.The wind temperatures have change since last time and I find this very strange because wind just doesn't change,maybe it has something to do with the clouds or something.

i think the most intresting part is about the animals. these species all are swimming farther up north so this may break both the food chain and the food web. for example, the fur seal usually is found in mexico (new spain).

I agree, that if some of the species move farther up north, then it might break the food chain, because some species will go to a different environment, and then the predators of those species will have no food, and slowly, the whole system will die off.

I disagree with you because they have only found a couple of different species in other places. They would have to find tons of the creatures for them to become extinct.

I think that it is the weather and temperature that's causing this. For example is that a sea turtle was found in nowhere near the Galapagos islands where it belongs. Another example is that the temperature is high in California's beaches

The warmer waters could affect the food webs in the ocean. Some fish move to the warmer waters. Then, their predator will have less food/food choices. If this happens, the predator might starve. And also, without the fish, the food they eat (plants, etc.) will grow and will have more of this food. A part of a food chain can seem small, but without it, the food webs and chains can be destroyed! Another interesting part I learned is that wind could change the waters' climate.

I agree with you to Connie.That is a interesting part of the text. It is also what we have been learning in school. The disturbance of one food chain can hurt a multiple food webs.

To me, the most interesting part of the story was when they were talking about how the water tempture is rising. It is very serious because the warm water is affecting our sea life. The warm water is killing our little fish, and before we know it all of our little fish wil be gone and our food chin will be ruined!

I don't exactly agree that the water temperatures rising is killing fish, but I think that it isn't benifiting for the sea life. It's not benifiting for the species of the higher part of the food chain. Because their prey, is moving up north, they might die off, but it's definitely benefiting for those of the lower food chain, because their predator is not common anymore. I'm not exactly saying that the benifite for those of the lower food chain is a good thing, because then slowly, their population will increase.

I think that it's very interesting that the sea creatures that are usually never seen in California are now pretty much the only things that scientists see. It's fascinating that the reason that these creatures are so common in this time of year is because the water is warmer and all of the animals that are roaming around the Pacific ocean have all adapted to the warmer water temperature, so now that the water here is warmer, the creatures are finding a great home. I wonder if the creatures are going to stay here in California, or if the water temperatures will lower again, and the sea creatures are going to go back to their usual environment which is where the sea is known to be warmer.

In the article my favorite and most interesting part was when they said''the water tempatures in California were rising up.''That is interesting because the water was heating up and because of that,the little cute fishes are dying. :( The big fishes will have less small fish to eat.

True, Gavin if the krill all go north but the birds stay because they don't live in the water, the birds would not have anything to eat and they wouldn't lay eggs. Then their species would die off when the existing birds died and there would not be a next generation.

The most interesting part in my opinion is when a fisher catches an endangered green turtle. It is my favorite part because the sea turtle usually lives in Mexico and the Galapagos Islands and the fisher man lived in San Francisco. But that also means that because of the warm waters it is attracting sea animals to go to places that have a colder temperature.

I think the most interesting part of the article was that the warm water changes are not because of global warming. I thought it would be the humans' fault. But this time, I guess we don't take the blame this time. I also thought that ocean changes also have affected birds that eat fish and krill are affected. I knew they would be affected but it is worth mentioning that because the wind isn't pushing the water that much, not as much food is coming to the surface. This relates to our science unit because the whole ocean is interconnected in a food web.

I think that the most interesting part of the article was the part where they talked about the fish swimming far away from their original places. It was cool hearing about them finding other sea creatures that belonged somewhere else. It was probably cool for the scientists also because they got to learn about other creatures that they can't usually learn about there.

I think that the most interesting part of the article is when they talk about the food chains being broken.It is scary .If lots (i really mean lots) of animals in food chains go away and another animal gets over populated , we MAY be next. it is very interesting because it is dangerous and can help us with predicting the future. It is also very DIFFERENT for California's southern animals to automatically .This second part is interesting because unusual animal species are ending up in northern California(where they don’t belong)like for example Hawaiian Ono.
