Marine is one of the biggest biome in the world. There are many

different kinds of ocean like the coral reef or the Arctic Ocean.

However, only one thing is same for all the different kinds of marine.

It's the salt water!

Fishes living in the ocean are all adapted to

the salt water. If you place a marine fish to a

fresh water (river, lake, pond, etc...) the salt

water fish would die.

The peaceful North Pacific Ocean is at the east of Asia and West of North America. The Pacific Ocean is the world’s biggest and deepest ocean. The North Pacific Ocean covers more than 30% of the earth's surface. The average depth of the North pacific ocean is 3,800m.

Characteristics

In every biome, the abiotic (non-living) and biotic (living) factors need to be interdependent to survive.

Biome

Abiotic Biotic

EX) The North Pacific Ocean

Most fish that live in the North pacific ocean are adapted to live in warm temperatures. If these fish stay in the cold water, they would die.

The North Pacific ocean's temperature depends on the location. Near the equator, the water is very hot. Water in some regions goes up to 30 degC or 86F. The North Pacific Ocean is warm at almost all times. Sometimes the weather is bad.

Abiotic

Biotic

Most producers live near the spot where there is a lot of sunlight. The plants need sunlight in order to grow from *photosynthesis.

Producers

*Photosynthesis: The process when plants get nutrients from sunlight and more

Oarweed live in rocky shores so their adaptation is that they have clinging roots that attaches itself to underwater stones.

Oarweed

Kelp is a type of seaweed. Kelt lives in cold and shallow waters that has many nutrients. Kelps are adapted to dig deep into the rocks and soil so that they wouldn’t flow away. Also, they are adapted to the sunlight because they have fast growing stem and gas filled compartment (sections) that help to reach sunlight.

Kelp

Gulfweed are brownish yellow seaweed. Gulfweed have berry like bladders that contain gas which helps them to float.

Sea Cabbage are brown algaes. Sea Cabbage are adapted to getting sunlight and transferring it to nutrients they would need to grow, and for the predictors that eats sea cabbage

Trigger fish uses the abiotic factor waving motions to move because it is

a Nekton. Trigger fish have sharp teeth that helps to eat other marine

animals. Trigger fish protect themselves using camouflage which

confuses it’s predictors. Trigger fish are carnivores and eat shrimps,

crustaceans and invertebrates.

Marine Animals

Most Nettle Jellyfish are found at the west of America. Nettle

Jellyfish has tentacles which has poison or stings to protect itself. With

it’s tentacles, they also catch their prey. Nettle Jellyfish consumes (put

it in body; eat) plankton, crustaceans and larvae of other jellyfish.

These dolphins are called Pacific White Sided Dolphins because of

how they look. White Sided Dolphins are found in cold, temperate

water. One of their behavioral adaptation is to be in herds or

groups while traveling because they are very gregarious or sociable.

These dolphins love to eat squid.

Silky Sharks love tropical, warm ocean. They have very good sense

of hearing which helps them to locate their prey easily. The silky

shark dive together in large groups of fish then with fast speed,

they attack their prey with their mouths open. They eat Tuna,

octopus and squid.

Coral Reef Food Web

Humans create conservation issues. These issues effect the organisms living in the ocean and humans.

You can follow these steps to help prevent terrible news happening to our special nature:

-Conserving-Cleaning up-Chiming in!

Conservation Issues

Oil Spills happen when a oil tanker (a ship that carries oil from one country to another) leaks oil. Sometimes,illegally, people dump crude oil because they don’t want to spend money on decomposing the waste oil.

Oil Spill

Effects

Oil spilled into the ocean waters are very sticky. Also, oil lowers the animals body temperature which is called hypothermia. Animals get attracted to the sweet smell of the oily water. When they go near the oil, they would be poisoned.

Gulf Of Mexico Oil Spill

Overfishing is when people catch fish faster than the fish can reproduce. It means that people catch more fish then they need. The ocean would be a place without a meaning if all the fish die!

Overfishing About 25% of the world’s captured fish are being killed and thrown back to the ocean. Soon these fish will become endangered.

Effects

If we don’t solve this problem, in the future, there wouldn’t be fish left for us to eat or keep as a pet. When a specie extincts because of overfishing, predators of the extinct fish would have a change in their food chain or food web. The prey that the fish eats would increase and increase until the extinct fish prey eats all of it’s prey, so there wouldn’t be any producer, primary consumer,(etc...) left.
