Can We Prepare? Altering Innate Behaviour & Preparing for Invasive Fish Species
| Challenge: | Environment | | Category: | Senior | | Region: | Chignecto East | | City: | Thorburn, NS | | School: | North Nova Education Centre | | Abstract: | My project is based on my theory that a watershed could be prepared for the arrival of an invasive species. I over-stimulated the aggressive behaviours of male better fish to prove that innate behaviours can be altered to fit the circumstances that arise. By proving that these behaviours can be changed I have added more depth and potential to my theory that could save species. |
