Freshwater Rivers & Lakes
Fish in Ohio’s Rivers & Lakes tend to be dull, dark colors to camouflage with plants
and rocks

Freshwater Rivers & Lakes
Fish in flowing rivers typically have streamlined bodies and
wedge tails

Freshwater Rivers & Lakes
Some fish do not play well with others and have bright color patterns as a warning sign.

Coral Reefs
Swimming out from shore, you would see mangrove habitat, sea grass habitat, coral reef habitat, and finally open ocean habitat.

Coral Reefs
Most coral reefs are found in warm water along the equator

Barrier Reef
Atoll reef
There are different types of coral reefs.

Coral may look like plants, but are actually animals!

Coral Reefs
Coral feed with tentacles
![Page 17: Aquatic Habitats - Greater Cleveland Aquarium€¦ · Coral Reefs are saltwater habitats found in the ocean . Coral Reefs Swimming out from shore, you would see mangrove habitat,](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022043000/5f74616accf002319d234ca9/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Coral Reefs Coral have a symbiotic relationship with algae
called zooxanthellae
Corals provide structure & protection
Algae provide food
![Page 18: Aquatic Habitats - Greater Cleveland Aquarium€¦ · Coral Reefs are saltwater habitats found in the ocean . Coral Reefs Swimming out from shore, you would see mangrove habitat,](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022043000/5f74616accf002319d234ca9/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Coral Reefs
The color of a coral is actually the color of the zooxanthellae

Coral Reefs
There are 2 categories of corals: Hard & Soft
![Page 20: Aquatic Habitats - Greater Cleveland Aquarium€¦ · Coral Reefs are saltwater habitats found in the ocean . Coral Reefs Swimming out from shore, you would see mangrove habitat,](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022043000/5f74616accf002319d234ca9/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Coral Reefs
Hard corals build the rocky reef structure with their skeleton
![Page 21: Aquatic Habitats - Greater Cleveland Aquarium€¦ · Coral Reefs are saltwater habitats found in the ocean . Coral Reefs Swimming out from shore, you would see mangrove habitat,](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022043000/5f74616accf002319d234ca9/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Coral Reefs
The Great Barrier Reef coral structures are so massive they can be seen from an airplane
![Page 22: Aquatic Habitats - Greater Cleveland Aquarium€¦ · Coral Reefs are saltwater habitats found in the ocean . Coral Reefs Swimming out from shore, you would see mangrove habitat,](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022043000/5f74616accf002319d234ca9/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Coral Reefs
Soft corals live on the reef
structure but do not build it

Jellyfish
Coral
Coral are similar to sea anemones and jellyfish. They belong to the phylum cnidaria
Sea Anemone
Jellyfish Coral

Coral Reefs
Reef fish are often colorful to blend in with
bright coral
![Page 25: Aquatic Habitats - Greater Cleveland Aquarium€¦ · Coral Reefs are saltwater habitats found in the ocean . Coral Reefs Swimming out from shore, you would see mangrove habitat,](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022043000/5f74616accf002319d234ca9/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Coral Reefs
These fish have diverse body shapes to navigate
through the reefs
![Page 26: Aquatic Habitats - Greater Cleveland Aquarium€¦ · Coral Reefs are saltwater habitats found in the ocean . Coral Reefs Swimming out from shore, you would see mangrove habitat,](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022043000/5f74616accf002319d234ca9/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Coral Reefs
They are the 2nd most diverse habitat after the rainforest
Coral reefs contain 25% of all marine life Yet take up less than 1% of the ocean floor
![Page 27: Aquatic Habitats - Greater Cleveland Aquarium€¦ · Coral Reefs are saltwater habitats found in the ocean . Coral Reefs Swimming out from shore, you would see mangrove habitat,](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022043000/5f74616accf002319d234ca9/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Open Ocean
The Open Ocean is another saltwater habitat
![Page 28: Aquatic Habitats - Greater Cleveland Aquarium€¦ · Coral Reefs are saltwater habitats found in the ocean . Coral Reefs Swimming out from shore, you would see mangrove habitat,](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022043000/5f74616accf002319d234ca9/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Open Ocean
The Open Ocean consists of several zones
![Page 29: Aquatic Habitats - Greater Cleveland Aquarium€¦ · Coral Reefs are saltwater habitats found in the ocean . Coral Reefs Swimming out from shore, you would see mangrove habitat,](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022043000/5f74616accf002319d234ca9/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Open Ocean
Fish in the open ocean are good at swimming
constantly
Many small fish school together for
protection
![Page 30: Aquatic Habitats - Greater Cleveland Aquarium€¦ · Coral Reefs are saltwater habitats found in the ocean . Coral Reefs Swimming out from shore, you would see mangrove habitat,](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022043000/5f74616accf002319d234ca9/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Open Ocean
Most open ocean fish have
streamlined rocket shaped bodies
![Page 31: Aquatic Habitats - Greater Cleveland Aquarium€¦ · Coral Reefs are saltwater habitats found in the ocean . Coral Reefs Swimming out from shore, you would see mangrove habitat,](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022043000/5f74616accf002319d234ca9/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Open Ocean
There are no plants or corals in the open ocean. Fish often have no place to hide
![Page 32: Aquatic Habitats - Greater Cleveland Aquarium€¦ · Coral Reefs are saltwater habitats found in the ocean . Coral Reefs Swimming out from shore, you would see mangrove habitat,](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022043000/5f74616accf002319d234ca9/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)

Or by blending in with their friends
Open ocean fish camouflage using countershading
