Primary Productivity• Photosynthesis uses solar radiation.
• Chemosynthesis uses chemical reactions.
• 99.9% of the ocean’s biomass relies directly or indirectly on photosynthesis for food.
• Ocean productivity equal to Land

Photosynthetic Marine Organisms
• Macroscopic (large) algae
• Microscopic (small) algae
• Photosynthetic bacteria

Microscopic Algae
• Produce food for 99% of marine animals• Most planktonic• Golden algae
– Diatoms – tests made of silica– Coccolithophores – plates of calcium carbonate
• Dinoflagellates
– Red tide (harmful algal bloom)
– Toxins
– Fish kills
– Human illness

Photosynthetic Bacteria
• Extremely small
• May be responsible for half of total photosynthetic biomass in oceans

Factors Affecting Primary Productivity
• Nutrient availability – Nitrate, phosphorous, iron, silica– Upwelling and river runoff
![Page 10: © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. CHAPTER 13 Biological Productivity.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062423/56649d215503460f949f5b06/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
© 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.
Factors Affecting Primary Productivity
• Solar radiation – Uppermost surface seawater and shallow
seafloor– Compensation depth – net photosynthesis
becomes zero– Euphotic zone—from surface to about
100 meters (330 feet)

Color in the OceanSecchi Disk – measures water transparency
•Green Photoplankton
•Blue-no or zooplankton
•Red-dinoflagellates/red tide

Measurement of Primary Productivity
• Directly – Nets
• Measure radioactive carbon in seawater
• Monitor ocean color with satellites – Green pigment
chlorophyll

Upwelling and Nutrient Supply
• Cooler, deeper seawater is nutrient-rich.
• Areas of coastal upwelling are sites of high productivity.

Polar Ocean Productivity
• Winter darkness• Summer sunlight• Phytoplankton
(diatoms) bloom• Zooplankton (mainly
small crustaceans) productivity follows
• Example: Arctic Ocean’s Barents Sea

Polar Ocean Productivity
• No thermocline
• Plankton remain at surface
• Blue whales migrate to feed on maximum zooplankton productivity.
![Page 18: © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. CHAPTER 13 Biological Productivity.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062423/56649d215503460f949f5b06/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)

Productivity in Tropical Oceans
• Permanent thermocline is barrier to vertical mixing
• Low rate of primary productivity – lack of nutrients
![Page 19: © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. CHAPTER 13 Biological Productivity.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062423/56649d215503460f949f5b06/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)

Productivity in Tropical Oceans
• High primary productivity in areas of– Equatorial upwelling
– Coastal upwelling
– Coral reefs• Recycle nutrients within the ecosystem

Temperate Ocean Productivity• Productivity limited by
– Available sunlight– Available nutrients

Energy Flow in Marine Systems
• Producers – photosynthesis or chemosynthesis– Autotrophic
• Consumers– Eat other organisms– Heterotrophic
• Decomposers – break down dead organisms or waste

Adaptations to Avoid PredationSymbiotic Relationships
• Mutualism – both organisms benefit
• Parasitism-parasite benefits at expense of host
• Commensalism –benefits one without harming host
