eco-friendly-when completely relied upon. So what are Biofuels? A biofuel is a fuel that contains energy from geologically recent carbon fixation. These fuels are produced from living organisms. Examples of this carbon fixation occur in plants and microalgae. These fuels are made by a biomass conversion (biomass refers to recently living organisms, most often referring to plants or plant-derived materials). This biomass can be converted to convenient energy containing substances in three different ways:

temperatures ranging from 5-30o C, the larvae are more limited to optimal temperatures of 23-27o C. The most important threat to the Bay anchovy is the decrease in dissolved oxygen level caused by eutrophication, which is the main cause of hypoxia in coastal systems (Breitburg, 2002). As the water becomes hypoxic, there is less available habitat for Bay anchovy (Lee and Jones-Lee, 2005). This condition forces the fish to squeeze into less productive and narrow areas (Breitburg; Campbell and Rice, 2002
