What kind of plankton lives in the kelp forest?

Some animals use these forests as feeding ground.

The Otter for one.

Some birds even dive down for food in these forests.

And fish of course. They both find food and protection here.

How have marine organisms adapted to moving rapidly in water?

I think becuase(how there are lots of muselces in there body and it gives them strength

Give some examples of predation?

Aphids and ladybugs are examples of how insects can control other pests. Aphids gather ant populations to select sites in gardens and yards by secreting honeydew in exchange for bodyguardiandship. Ladybugs prey upon such garden and lawn pests as aphids, mealybugs and scale.

Is octopus considered a shellfish?

Yes, an octopus is a shellfish. It is also a mollusk which is a shellfish.

What is meant by the term marine life?

Marine life is that which lives in any water environment such as lakes,rivers or oceans.

What is an example of a competitive relationship in the ocean?

From Mosby's Comprehensive Review of Dental Hygiene by Darby, 2006.

"Interaction between organisms resulting from a demand for a finite supply of nutrients and other resources" (pg. 353).

"Example-molds such as Penicillium compete by secreting substances toxic to other organisms" (pg. 353).

Have been found in waters of hydrothermal vents?

hydrothermal vents are found in the deep zone

What types of marine life have shells?

well first there is a snail and crab and your but u are so stupid

Producers in ocean biome?

  • Free-floating algae -- often called seaweed
  • Red algae ( Rhodophyta) -- Porphyra (from which edible nori is made), dulse, Ceramium and maerl
  • Green algae (Chlorophyta) --thongweed, sea lettuce (Ulva)
  • Brown algae (Phaeophyta) -- like fast-growing kelp, Sargassum, Turbinaria, Dictyota, and wrack
  • Phytoplankton -- tiny, one-celled photosynthetic plankton like diatoms, dinoflagellates, and coccolithophorids
  • Plants
  • Flowering sperms
    • Submerged: Seagrasses -- flowering plants like eelgrass and thalassia
    • Not Entirely Submerged: Mangroves -- trees that root in the shallow seafloor but grow above water

Hope this helps. JK

What are the different seasons of marine biomes?

The marine biome has 4 seasons but the weather can make it seem like it's spring all year (cool and rainy in winter, warm and partly sunny in summer).

The source: I go to Iceland every year (a marine climate).

What kind of vegetation grows in marine biomes?

Phytoplankton (small plants which float in at the top of the water collumn)
Seaweeds (larger plants which grow on the seas shore, float at the sea surface or gorw attached to the sea floor in shallow water)
Mangroves (plants which although rooted in seawater covered areas, have stems and leaves that are in the air).

What is the difference between freshwater brackishwater and salt water?

Both fresh water and salt water occur in nature, so both are natural. Note, however, that fish that live in fresh water generally cannot survive in salt water and fish that live in salt water generally cannot survive in fresh water.

What are the landforms of the marine biome?

coral reefs and coral shelfs and sand and water and more sand and rocks and then they have hills and stuff

What organism found intertidal zone?

The intertidal area (also called the littoral zone) is where the land and sea meet, between the high and low tide zones. Within the intertidal zone there are the spray zones, and low, middle, and high tide zones, and each is characterised by different animals.

* Spray Zone: Also called the Upper Littoral, the Supralittoral Fringe, the Splash Zone, and the Barnacle Belt. This area is dry much of the time, but is sprayed with salt water during high tides. It is only flooded during storms and extremely high tides. Organisms in this sparse habitat include barnacles, isopods, lichens, lice, limpets, periwinkles, and whelks. Very little vegetation grows in this area.

* High Tide Zone: Also called the Upper Mid-littoral Zone and the high intertidal zone. This area is flooded only during high tide. Organisms in this area include anemones, barnacles, brittle stars, chitons, crabs, green algae, isopods, limpets, mussels, sea stars, sea anemones, snails, whelks and some marine vegetation.

* Middle Tide Zone: Also called the Lower Mid-littoral Zone. This turbulent area is covered and uncovered twice a day with salt water from the tides. Organisms in this area include anemones, barnacles, chitons, crabs, green algae, isopods, limpets, mussels, sea lettuce, sea palms, sea stars, snails, sponges, and whelks.

* Low Tide Zone: Also called the Lower Littoral Zone. This area is usually under water - it is only exposed when the tide is unusually low. Organisms in this zone are not well adapted to long periods of dryness or to extreme temperatures. Some of the organisms in this area are abalone, anemones, brown seaweed, chitons, crabs, green algae, hydroids, isopods, limpets, mussels, nudibranchs, sculpin, sea cucumber, sea lettuce, sea palms, sea stars, sea urchins, shrimp, snails, sponges, surf grass, tube worms, and whelks.

What are the omnivorous marine animals?

Carnivorous Plankton consumes Eupausids (krill) and Copepods.

What type of marine life is the main source of food for larger marine life?

Well the staple of the food chain would be plankton. Remember a producer is the base of all food chains. Except in a few rare cases, such as deep sea vents and caves with no light.

The permanently dark zone below the photic zone is called what?

this could be the aphotic zone where only 1% of the surface light reaches. The Bethnic zone is the VERY bottom and is basically the sediment zone.

Why is plastic life dangerous to marine life?

Ocean litter is any manufactured or processed solid waste that enters the ocean. It can range from newspapers to fishing gear. Marine debris, another name for ocean litter, is posing a large threat because it is killing thousands of sea animals and decreasing biodiversity. Every year 100,000 sea animals are killed due to plastics in our oceans. Humans are directly affecting the lives of thousands of sea animals by inaccurately disposing of plastic and other ocean litter.
