Why is it important? Why must organisms compete for resources? What is carrying capacity? What is a niche? Why is it important? What are invasive species? Why are they a problem? What is the source of energy for aquatic communities? How does energy circulate among organisms in an aquatic community? What is a food chain? What is a food web? What is an energy pyramid? What is a trophic level? How do predator and prey species keep species populations in balance in aquatic communities? What is natural selection? In what ways might food webs, food chains, and predator-prey relationships be different in a pond, an estuary, and the Gulf of Mexico? What happens when one piece is altered or removed? Aquatic Science with Dr. Rudy Rosen is an on-line video curriculum arranged into 13 lessons in YouTube Playlists that follows the contents of Dr. Rosen’s recently published textbook, Texas Aquatic Science. The textbook is published by the Texas A&M University Press and can be obtained at any online bookseller or from the publisher here: http://www.tamupress.com/product/Texas-Aquatic-Science,7918.aspx Each lesson covers a major subject area and is broken down into short sub-topic video presentations. These short videos covering important aquatic science topics can be used by students, instructors in building their own aquatic science curricula, or by life-long learners for self-education.

Water Life - Aquatic Science with Dr. Rudy Rosen Lesson 4 includes: What is a species? What is an adaptation? What adaptations do fish and other aquatic animals possess to survive in an aquatic habitat? How do specific adaptations provide survival advantages to a particular species? Name some adaptations of different fish species in Texas? How do fish swim? How do fish see, smell, hear, taste and feel? Do fish have other senses that we don’t have .
