GMO's
Save My Lake
100
This type of fish is found at the top of the water column and includes salmon and trout.
What is pelagic fish
100
This system contains minerals, living organisms and decaying material, water and air which contributes to plant growth
What is soil
100
This type of farming involves only a small parcel of land, and enough food to feed the family that grows it
What is subsistence farming
100
GMO stands for this
What is Genetically Modified Organisms
100
This is the lake discussed in David Suzuki’s documentary, “Save My Lake”
What is Lake Winnipeg
200
This is a main cause of depleting fish stocks in both the Atlantic and Pacific regions.
What is overfishing
200
Earthworms, bees and other pollinating insects are all examples from this system
What is biological
200
This type of agriculture uses a lot of land but little labor, such as a wheat farm
What is extensive agriculture
200
This is the major concern Canadians have with GMO’s
What is lack of testing
200
This is the major overgrowth in the lake
What is algae
300
This region off the coast of the Maritimes has been a fishing hot-spot for decades.
What is The Grand Banks
300
Moisture, solar energy or heat and evapotranspiration are involved in this systems which affects how plants grow
What is climate
300
This type of agriculture uses a great deal of labor but not a lot of land, such as a vineyard
What is intensive farming
300
Canadians would like to see more of this involved with GMO foods and food products
What is labelling
300
This is the major factor leading to the issues with Lake Winnipeg
What is agricultural pollution
400
This type of fishing accounts for 90% of fish caught but only 15% of the labour force.
What is off-shore fishing
400
Flat land is a good example of this
What is topography
400
The farming practice of growing crops specifically to be sold to the rest of the world is called this
What is Cash-Crop
400
GMO’s receive genes from these to make them a "better product".
What is other organisms
400
This effect, following a growth in algae, is of benefit to consumers
What is better fishing
500
This type of fishing does not discriminate which fish it catches, resulted in many fish being caught and then dumped back, dead.
What is net-fishing.
500
This occurs due to a hilly topography and wet conditions during winter
What is erosion
500
Manitoba’s wheat fields are an example of these types of farming
What are extensive and cash crop farming.
500
“Golden Rice”, a genetically modified rice, claims it contains this, a nutritional supplement, giving it it’s golden color
What is Beta-Carotene
500
The deadening of a lake due to pollution and algae growth is called this
What is eutrophication
