Would you expect more fish in the open area or around the roots of the plants?
Support your answer with evidence from Table 17-3 in the lab manual.
What will be an ideal response?
Fish need oxygen to survive (see Figure 17-5 in the lab manual). Unless the water
temperature around the rooted vegetation is too high, small fish should be evident.
Rooted aquatic vegetation also serves as a desirable habitat for many other
organisms, some of which are food for the fish in your sites. The larger fish may only
be active at night or early in the morning in the shallow areas when the dissolved
oxygen content of the water is greatest and pH is the highest at this time (see Figure
17-3 in the lab manual), and the water temperature is lowest.
