What is the most endangered fish in the world?
It's impossible to say for sure. The "most endangered" fish species would be the one that's closest to extinction. Species that are close to extinction are rarely seen, because so few of them exist. So you can't really measure which ones are the most endangered, though it is possible to get a pretty good idea of which ones are on the brink of extinction, or may already be extinct -- especially in the case of species that have are known to only exist in a very small geographic range. Also, there are still tons of species that have yet to be discovered, and that many of those species are threatened with extinction. It is undoubtedly the case that many species have gone extinct (very recently) which we were never aware of. Wikipedia has a list of critically endangered species: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Critically_...
What is the most endangered biome?
Well, it depends. Each biome has its own threats and dangers of extinction, as well as encroaching human territory. In a way, you're both right, but I still feel that the Amazon rain forest is still the most endangered. The worlds' rain forests faces the largest threats because people are cutting down their trees at a staggering rate- 1,440 acres a day. Land is also set aside to make room for farming, destroying habitats and species, as well as creating competion among the animals and plants. The grasslands face drought and are slowly becoming becoming a desert. However, the rain forest needs our utmost attention right now. The grasslands need care that's going to happen over time.

What is National Aquatic Animal of India?
Thanks for A2A!The National Aquatic animal of India is the Ganges River Dolphin(Platanista gangetica).The dolphin is blind, and faces severe threat from the heavy pollution and habitat destruction in the waters where it lives. It has been declared Endangered in the IUCN red list and it is assumed that less than 2000 individuals remain.This dolphin, called ‘susu’ or ‘susuk’ in India, is thought to represent the purity of The Ganga.I was extremely lucky.. I unexpectedly saw about 3 individuals a few years back, near Mayapur in West Bengal.
Are killer whales an endangered species?
Yes.Most Aquatic animals are decreasing drastically for many reasons. 1).Oil Spills.Pollutes animals' water and makes it unsanitary.The fish and sharks can't breath through there fills properly.The sea mammals get oiled up and die from the fumes and the oil ending up in there mouths.Spreads really fast and usually hundreds of gallons spill into the ocean when there is an oil spills 2).Poullution in water.Garbage,left behind Debris,coke cans.A wondering aquatic animal can end up accidentally inhaling the debris or be curious and eat it.This messes up there digestive systems because they aren't used to digesting plastic,metal,tires,aluminum,trash bags ect 3).Fishing Nets.Usually only intended for tuna and other fish but sometime dolphins,whales,sharks,other sea mammals get caught in this.This causes them to be unable to move because the net is designed to catch fish and not let them escape.Dolphnis and Whales sometimes accidentally make the situation worse by moving or squirming which can wrap them up even more. 4).Hunters/Poachers.These people are horrible and hunt even illegally.They kill animals all over the world including sea animals.For what?Money,sometimes.Whale oil can be used for many things. 5).Rare infections.Not a huge factor but can occur sometimes.They might get scraped by coral or be bit by a shark and get infected. 6).Lack of breathing hole.Sometime Killer Whales and other whales like to venture to the Artic.They go under ice and forget about there holes.They suffer from the lack of oxygen. There are many reasons why any animal dies.From natural causes or human causes. 5).

My point was that Americans consume 8oz. of meat daily. That’s TWICE the global average of meat consumption. I don’t attribute all Americans over consumption of meat to be the entire problem of why Americans are so obese, but I do think that it is a leading cause in the matter. Personally don’t have a GPS, and I rarely use my cell.
