How many different kinds of animals live in the ocean?

Answer 1

There are estimated to be 230,000 marine species currently known to science.

120,000 species are now registered with the Census of Marine Life which checks and validates descriptions for the World Register of Marine Species, an attempt at creating a register of descriptions of all marine life.

Answer 2

There really is no number of sea creatures because the population could be growing because of the birth of new sea creatures everyday, but the population could also be decreasing because of all of the oil spills and pollution in the oceans. There is no accurate amount of sea creatures in the oceans.

Answer 3

By 2010, scientists say they may find more than 2 million different species of marine life. So far, the Census of Marine Life comprised 15,304 species of fish and 194,696 to 214,696 species of animals and plants, estimated to be roughly 10 percent of the world's total. The census is adding about 150 to 200 species of fish and 1,700 species of animals and plants each year. The scientists said they believe the oceans that extend across 70 percent of Earth's surface hold about 20,000 species of fish and up to 1.98 million species of animals and plants. Many of those could be basic and small life forms, such as worms and jellyfish

Answer 4

First of all, it's "there", not their. And science has no clue as to the actual living species in all the oceans.

English lesson: "their"= belongs to them; "there" = a place; "they're" = they are.

Their minds tend to wander when they're there. And to think I flunked English in high schrewl. :-P

Answer 5

100,000,000+ kinds of species of animals live in Ocean.
