Chapter 19, Problem 5WIO
Use the clues provided to determine which biome houses each of the following four fish. Yellowfin tuna require salt water; young sea bass occupy areas where fresh and salt water mix; brook trout require clear, cool, oxygen-rich fresh water, and catfish prefer warm, quiet fresh water with a slow current.

zooplankton
Phytoplankton
The phytoplankton transforms light energy into 100,000 kcal (by photosynthesis of course). How much energy would you expect to be available in the elephant seal's food if the
elephant seal eats the squid, which eats krill, which eats phytoplankton?
O 100 kcal

The pelagic zone of the ocean is the area of the ocean that is neither close to the bottom nor close to land. There are a wide variety of organisms that inhabit the pelagic zone. Phytoplankton float along the surface, using photosynthesis to produce food. Zooplankton are tiny organisms that float in the surface waters and feed on the abundant phytoplankton. Krill, small crustaceans, also feed on phytoplankton. They display vertical migration in which they swim at deeper depths during the day and then come up to the surface waters at night to eat. What is the relationship between zooplankton and krill?
a) Symbiosis
b) Competition
c) Parasitism
d) Commensalism
e) Mutualism
Considering your knowledge of the 'aquatic world' so far, describe in the detail the nearest water body that you are most familiar with. Chosen body of water Boracay in the Philippines.
1) What is this body of water? (hint: provide name). What are its characteristics?
2) What are the components and processes? What are the resources in that body of water?
3) How is that body of water impacted by terrestrial activities?
4) What are the services provided by that body of water?

Poisonous algae and countless plants and animals have invaded harbor waters and disrupted the local ecological balance. Destruction of coral reefs. Of the seventeen major world fisheries, four are depleted and the other thirteen are either fished to capacity or over-fished. Ghost nets: lost or discarded fishing nets keep on fishing. Nitrogen and phosphorus from sources such as fertilizer, sewage and detergents, enter coastal waters. Invasive species, such as zebra mussels. Cruise ships and tourists. Commercial marine fisheries. 01 S ITEM BANK: M 2arrow_forwardYou find an unknown species in a fishing net and are not sure where it came from. To keep it in the lab to learn more about it, and find out where it came from, what would be the best approach? Set up an estuary tank because the intermediate salinity is most likely to support life. Carefully monitor temperature, salinity, and oxygen levels to detect quickly if they are not correct. Use freshwater and lab temperatures because a freshwater environment is less stressful than a marine environment. Set up a standard marine tank because salinity and oxygen levels are similar in all marine environments. Set up an environment with low oxygen levels and low light levels to lower stress.arrow_forwardMany organisms live in environments with extreme conditions (ex. desert), and as a result, they possess anatomical and behavioral adaptations that allow them to survive and maintain homeostasis. Consider fennec foxes living in the desert. Identify three major abiotic conditions, describe how these conditions would impact the organisms' ability to maintain homeostasis (1-2 sentences each), and discuss potential adaptations (morphological and/or behavioral) that would assist in maintaining homeostasis (2-3 sentences each).

To understand what nuisance flooding is, you have to have a basic understanding of tides. How are tides generated and propagated around ocean basins? Explain how the factors that control tides change over the course of one month and tie that back to the problems with nuisance flooding.

Bcologists, including aquatic biologists, use the range of tolerance to monitor the number of different populations residing in the area. m order to do so they use statistical models. Create a graph displaying on the x-axis the ranges of abiotic conditions such as temperature to study the population of rainbow trout in the area ( use the launch model as an example), Label each interval with temperature range and condition. What Causing Stress in Rainbow Trout Population The optimal range is the amount of an abiotic factor that produces the highest possible population. For water temperature, this would be about 6-10°C. Label this area on the graph. 1. 2. The zone of physiologic stress occurs when an abiotic factor exists at levels that are…arrow_forward
