Ideal Habitat for Bass

CSEF · 2017 Environmental Science

Overview

Objectives/Goals Our objective was to find the ideal habitat for bass based on dissolved oxygen and temperature. Methods/Materials We used lots of technology including a temperature and dissolved oxygen probe, and a drone to test for the ideal fishing spots in the Lake of the Pines. We counted the amount of fish caught in each area and put this together in a graph with the temperatures and dissolved oxygen levels. Results We found that the temperature and dissolved oxygen levels did affect the fish population in the area. Conclusions/Discussion Our goal was to find the ideal habitat and we did so. Our hypothesis was correct and there was a ideal habitat with a certain dissolved oxygen level and temperature.

Summary statement

After gathering data on temperature and dissolved oxygen levels in the Lake of the Pines, we found the ideal habitat and fishing spots for the lake.

Help received

Our Environmental Science teacher, Jennifer Weir, sparked our idea for the project and provided the tools to measure the data.
