Description
The growth of an organism is influenced by a variety of biotic and abiotic environmental variables. Through direct and indirect alteration of these environmental variables, human actions are perturbing the natural growth patterns of many organisms worldwide. Through an analysis of the otolith growth rings, students will begin to learn how natural climate variability and human actions can influence growth fish. Students will then design and test their own hypotheses about fish growth by altering the environmental variables of a goldfish tank and observing the impact these alterations have on goldfish growth.
