Marlin: "I need to get to the East Australian Current - E A C." Crush: "You're ridin' it dude. Check it out!" The animated movie Finding Nemo is responsible for most children's (and parents') image of the East Australian Current (EAC).
In the EAC, Marlin and Dory find themselves inside the current where many sea turtles travel together inside the EAC. The East Australian Current also features strong parts inside of it which fish who arrive on there must ready themselves for strong currents to avoid getting flung out of the current.
In the 2003 Disney/Pixar animated film Finding Nemo, the EAC is portrayed as a superhighway that fish and sea turtles use to travel down the east coast of Australia.
The East Australian Current is where Marlin and Dory meet Crush, Squirt, and other sea turtles on their way to find Nemo. Some of the animals that travel within the current include sea turtles, tunas, groupers, swordfish, lobsters, dolphins, and albatrosses (above the water).
The Antarctic Circumpolar Current is the planet's most powerful and arguably most important current. It is the only current to flow clear around the globe without being diverted by any landmass.
Waves are created by the wind and then radiate in all directions away from the disturbance. Currents represent the movement of water particles which is controlled by winds and density differences.
Etymology. Nemo is Latin for 'no one' or 'nobody'. Nemo is itself the Latin translation of Ancient Greek Outis 'Nobody', the pseudonym adopted by the sea-faring hero Odysseus in Greek mythology to outwit the Cyclops Polyphemus.
There are 30 recognized species of clownfish. Marlin and Nemo are Ocellaris clownfish, a type of orange clownfish that live in sea anemones, just like in the movie. This type of clownfish is typically 3 to 4 inches long with bright orange coloring and white stripes outlined in black.
The clownfish featured in 'Finding Nemo' are Percula clownfish or 'Amphiprion percula'. There are 30 different species of clownfish, we keep three different kinds including the percula. Percula clownfish are found in the Western pacific - Queensland and Melanesia.
“Did you know that Crush is portrayed “high” because Sea Turtles actually eat jellyfish and the poisons inside the jelly doesn't actually harm the turtle but instead intoxicates them much like marijuana does for humans,” the search result states.
Pearl is a pink flapjack octopus in Disney/Pixar's 2003 animated film, Finding Nemo and its 2016 sequel. She says she has one shorter tentacle than the rest, though this is barely noticeable. Pearl is pink like her father Ted, but unlike him, her face is positioned in the middle.
Dory, the small blue fish with a bad memory from the "Finding Nemo" franchise, is a blue tang, or a Paracanthurus hepatus in scientific terms. Native to the Indo-Pacific and found in coral reefs, these fish weigh around one pound and are generally 10 to 12 inches long, according to National Geographic.
Finding Dory is a 2016 American animated comedy-drama adventure film produced by Pixar Animation Studios and released by Walt Disney Pictures. Directed by Andrew Stanton, produced by Lindsey Collins and written by Stanton and Victoria Strouse, the film is the sequel to Finding Nemo (2003).
During the movie Finding Nemo, Marlin is transitioning into a female clownfish. Clownfish are protandrous hermaphrodites, all individuals are born male and then transition into a female at some point in their life.
Another dark Pixar theory suggests the animated film predominantly set under the sea is meant to showcase the tragic loss in the eyes of a husband and father. More specifically, the theory posits that Nemo never existed in the movie, and instead was a figment of Marlin the clownfish's imagination.
Nemo's disability, visually defined by his unique fin, affects, yet does not dictate his daily life, and initiates moments of joy and self-discovery. "Finding Nemo" becomes an act of rescue, maturation, and acceptance of self and others for all the characters.
If you had not asked this question, I never would have researched to find out that, yes, mature clown fish males (Nemo's dad) do turn female when the female clown fish (Nemo's mother) dies and depends on the environment.
Nemo is a curious and impressionable six-year-old, only child who lives with his overprotective, single-parent father, Marlin. Having led a sheltered life, Nemo brims with the excitement of starting school and finally seeing the wonders of the Great Barrier Reef.
A large movement of water in one general direction is a current. Currents can be temporary or long-lasting. They can be near the surface or in the deep ocean. The strongest currents shape Earth's global climate patterns (and even local weather conditions) by moving heat around the world.
Winds drive ocean currents in the upper 100 meters of the ocean's surface. However, ocean currents also flow thousands of meters below the surface. These deep-ocean currents are driven by differences in the water's density, which is controlled by temperature (thermo) and salinity (haline).
Predicting and measuring tides and currents is important for things like getting cargo ships safely into and out of ports, determining the extent of an oil spill, building bridges and piers, determining the best fishing spots, emergency preparedness, tsunami tracking, marsh restoration, and much more.
