Are there sharks in Indian waters?
Yes, especially in the rivers. There is one species called the Ganges River shark which is resonsible for numerous attacks. The Bull shark is also present in Indian waters and is a very dangerous shark. It hunts in the murky waters of rivers and can easily mistake a human for a fish and attack. If you intend to go swimming in Indian waters, avoid any murky waters.
Fish found in oligotrophic waters?
goldfish
Fish found in eutrophic waters?
aquartic
Where do comb jellies live?
in shallow or deep waters
Is a small black worm in stagnant waters poisonous?
no
Why is the fishing off the California and Peruvian coasts so productive?
Trade winds cause upwelling waters, which provide nutients for more fish.
Why are upwelling waters always cold?
they come from the colder waters on the bottom of the oceans
What isn't associated with upwelling?
Upwelling is when the winds cause nutrient rich waters from lower levels of the ocean to replace the surface water. Upwelling's are usually caused by coastal surges or open oceans.
Which ocean process brings vital nutrients from the bottom to the surface waters?
"upwelling"
How does upwelling affect the productivity of many regions of the ocean including waters off the coasts of California and Peru?
Upwelling increases productivity by lifting nutrients to the surface.
How do subsurface lake waters cool down in the fall?
Upwelling/downwelling, do some research on these.
Where are nearly all fishes caught?
harvested from coastal waters or areas of upwelling YA WELCUM
Why does the fishing industry watch for upwellings eagerly?
Most ocean waters are depleted of nutrients - plankton gets eaten by larger creatures, the larger creatures export nutrients in their wastes out of the lighted zone, where plants can grow, into the deep ocean. Where upwelling occurs, as in the Peru Current, these deep waters come to the surface carrying nutrients. This yields a phytoplankton boom, which gives fish a rich source of food. The anchovy fishery of Peru, one of the richest fisheries in the world, is directly fed by upwelling. During an el Nino event the upwelling fails - so does the fishery.
What occurs when seasonal extreme winds cause the colder lower region ocean waters to climb closer to the surface?
upwelling
How would upwellings contribute to the fishing industry of various nations?
Upwellings in the oceans are associated with the bringing of very nutrient-rich waters to the surface. Those nutrients are the base of a food chain that includes fish. Areas of upwelling are usually extremely prolific fisheries.
How does upwelling affect the distribution of nutrients of the ocean?
Upwelling brings up tiny ocean organisms, minerals, and other nutrients from the deeper layers of the water. Without this motion, the surface waters of the open ocean would be very scarce in nutrients.
What is the most productive habitat?
Polar waters at tidal boundaries This is where the whales get most of their food.
