There are an amazing number of living animals, plants and bacteria in the ocean.
ANIMALS:
- mammals such as whales, porpoises, walruses, seals and sea otters.
- fish such as shark, tuna, salmon, cod, eel, flounder, sole, carp, herring and sardines.
- many different kinds of invertebrates such as octopus, jellyfish, starfish, corals, sponges, anemones, sea worms, snails, barnacles, lobsters, shrimp, crabs, scallops, clams and oysters.
- zooplankton, the animal part of the drifting, floating plankton, composed of millions of tiny animals such as krill, fish larvae, juvenile octopus, eggs and single celled creatures.
PLANTS and other photosynthetic organisms:
- flowering seagrass such as turtle grass, surf grass and eelgrass.
- seaweed (algae) such as kelp (brown algae), Irish Moss or carrageenan (red algae) and sea lettuce (green algae).
- phytoplankton, millions of tiny or single-celled organisms such as diatoms and dinoflagellates, the part of the plankton that uses photosynthesis to support the food web of the ocean community.
BACTERIA live in all parts of the ocean, from the floating plankton down to the sediment on the sea floor. Some specialized bacteria can even produce organic material from the hydrogen sulfide around hydrothermal vents deep in the ocean, making life possible where there is no sunlight.
The most astonishing fact: most of the living things in the ocean are so small we can't even see them without a microscope, yet they are the plankton, the base of the entire food web of the ocean.
Non-living things in the ocean ecosystem include water, sunlight, oxygen, temperature, and minerals. These elements play a crucial role in supporting the life forms within the ecosystem, providing the necessary conditions for survival and growth. For example, sunlight is essential for photosynthesis in marine plants, while ocean currents help distribute nutrients and regulate temperatures.
Narwhals are found in the Arctic ecosystem, inhabiting the icy waters of the Arctic Ocean. They rely on sea ice for hunting, primarily feeding on fish, squid, and shrimp. Narwhals also coexist with other Arctic marine mammals such as polar bears, seals, and beluga whales in their ecosystem.
The opean ocean is the area beyond the neretic zone. It makes up most of the ocean. It is filled with many different species. It consists of the surface zone, transition zone, and the deep zone. When you go to the deep zone, it is very cold and dark. For more information, look on Wikipedia.
the ocean is a manatees ecosystem bcause itlives there
There are fairly alot of living things in the ocean . I have a few here : Sharks Belugas Whales (of all sort ) Sardines Fish ( of all sort ) Lobsters Crabs plants And Im sure that there are many more ! I hope this helped !

Not in itself. There are many living things in an ocean, and it is an ecosystem, but an ocean is not a living singularity. Technacally no an ocen is not a living thing but if you think about it you could say yes because things living in an ocean are alve and when u talk about the ocean that includes the sea or marine life in it so yes and no it really depends on you and/or the person you are talking too
it would kill all the things living
glass is nonliving. The non-living factors that are part of the ocean ecosystem include water, the substrate (rock or sand), and the minerals and gases dissolved in the water.
No. The ocean contains many living things, but the ocean itself is not alive.

Wetlands are wet because they exist only near the ocean and usually flood and drain during high and low tide. Wetlands coexist with the ocean to make a fragile and abundant ecosystem, and subsequently are wet most of the time.
The abiotic parts of an ocean ecosystem are found in any ecosystem. Oxygen, Carbon Dioxide, nutrients, water, sunlight, rocks, soil, and any thing else that is not living.

you're kidding.
Yes the ocean is part of the earth ecosystem!
No, coral reefs in the ocean are ecosystem
