Mobile River, Alabama, USA
United States, Alabama, Mobile
Mobile river is in Alabama (and a small part in Georgia) in North America. It’s 72 kilometres long and it runs into Mobile bay. When Tombigbee and Alabama rivers meet, a new river born, this is the Mobile. There are many freshwater creatures in it, like fishes, crayfish, mussels and snails. We can find some driftwoods and leaves on the bottom from the native trees, like oak or plane. It’s mainly a fast moving river and the flow is stong. The Mobile River flows through the Mobile-Tensaw River Delta and reaches Mobile Bay on the Gulf of Mexico just east of downtown Mobile. One of the most prefered fishing areas, becouse of the variety of fish species.

Comment by the expert
Ken Boormann: Again, more water chemistry parameters would be an asset in reproducing this habitat. The video was well presented and helpful in illustrating the intended environment.
Lawrence Kent: The description of the aquatic biotope was good, next time check water hardness, the video of the biotope is really fantastic, beautiful. Both the above and below water video of the spawning group of brightly colored shiners is absolutely wonderful!
