In general - aquatic ecosystems
w 71% of planet is ocean w 4 major oceans
w Pacific - largest w Atlantic w Arctic w Indian
w 2.2% freshwater

Aquatic Life Zones
w Marine (saltwater) w Oceans, estuaries, coastal wetlands,
shorelines, coral reefs, mangrove forests
w Freshwater w Lakes, rivers, streams, ponds, inland
wetlands

Zones
w 3 major zones - names vary so in general: w Top (photic) - lots of
light, warmest w Middle - some light w Bottom (aphotic) - low
to no light

Important Organism Types
w Plankton!!! - they primatily live in the top “go with the flow” w 3 types
w Phytoplankton - photosynthetic - primary producers to support all food chains
w Zooplankton - feed on plankton and other organisms - from single cell to jellies
w Ultraplankton - photosynthetic bacteria

Important Organism Types
w Nekton - the swimmers like turtles, fish, whales - they live in the middle

Important Organism Types
w Benthos - bottom dwellers like oysters, crabs, sea stars - they live at the bottom

Important Organism Type
w Decomposers - mostly bacteria - mostly at the bottom

Layers
w Distinguished by: w Temperature w Dissolved oxygen
content w Availability of food w Amount of light w Amount of nutrients for
plants

Top Layer w Called the photic
zone or euphotic zone
w Where photosynthesis occurs
w Depth of this zone influenced by turbidity - how cloudy the water is w Cloudy water may
result from algal growth or excessive silt runoff

Ocean vs. Fresh
w Ocean - lots of light but pretty low nutrients
w Fresh - plenty of nutrients from runoff but less light when turbid

Ocean Resources - Coastal Zone w Over $12 trillion per
year w makes up <10% of all
ocean but has 90% of all species
w provides most of our fish
w intertidal zone, estuaries, mangrove forests, coral reefs all part of coastal zone
w Very high NPP due to lots of light and nutrients
We have the biggest impact on the coastal zone

Open Sea w From edge of continental shelf w Has photic zone on top w Bathyl zone in middle w Abyssal zone at bottom
w Organisms at bottom often feed on marine snow

Human Impacts on the Ocean
w Urban development w Overfishing w Runoff - nonpoint source pollution w Point source pollution from oil tankers, cruise
ships w Trawling w Invasive species w Climate change
Raw sewage being released directly into the ocean
