SALMON SHARK
The Salmon shark (Lamna ditropis, also known as the Pacific Porbeagle) is named for its favorite meal - salmon. This shark is found in the Bering Sea and off western North America. It lives from the surface down to moderate depths.
Salmon are tertiary consumers. This means they eat animals that eat animals that eat primary producers (phytoplankton). Confusing? Salmon are hatched in fresh water and swim out to sea when they are big enough to fend for themselves.
Salmon are probably the best known odor-based migrant. Studies indicate that young salmon are somehow "imprinted" with the odor of their birth stream.
Salmonellosis, tuberculosis and strep throat are infections caused by different kinds of bacteria.
A bacterium is a single-celled microorganism.
Its genes float free in the liquid inside itself (the cytoplasm).
Salmonella is frequently associated with reptiles and other health risks are possible with handling. This means special precautions such as sterilizing gloves and cleaning areas are necessary for the protection of the pet owners.
