  1. The OCEAN ecosystem By CHELSEA Horita & Melanie Fuji’I PD 6

  2. What is a Biome? A biome is general types of ecosystems. A biome is a large area on the earth’s surface that is defined by temperature and down fall.

  3. What is an Example of a Biome? An example of a biome is the ocean. This biome is on the hotter side. Since this biome is the ocean it is wet

  4. Where can our ecosystem be found? Our ecosystem can be found in the 5 major oceans of the world. These 5 oceans are The Atlantic, The Pacific, The Indian, The Sothern, and The Arctic ocean. Since these oceans are spread across the world, the temperature of the ecosystem depends on what types of organisms live there.

  5. What’s in the Ecosystem? ~Larger sharks ~Shrimp ~Smaller sharks ~Copepods ~Marlin ~Pteropods ~Lancet fish ~Dinoflagellates ~Squid ~Diatoms ~Mackerel ~Lantern fish ~Amphipods ~Ocean sunfish

  6. What’s in the Ecosystem? Here’s another one: ~Phytoplankton ~Zoo plankton ~Fish larvae ~Small fish ~Predators

  7. Energy Transfer The plankton gets energy from the sun The lantern fish gets energy from the plankton The squid gets energy from the lantern fish Later when the shark dies the bacteria breaks down the dead body and eats it The shark gets energy from the squid

  8. Why is Our Ecosystem Important? Our ecosystem is important because it holds much marine life that other animals need to eat and use as energy. Plus we humans also eat fish.

  9. Why Did We Choose This Ecosystem? We chose this ecosystem for 3 reasons • Because we learned about food chains but we never researched about the ocean before • We both love the ocean and wanted to research about something we were both interested in. • We found that it was interesting that 70% of the earth’s surface is covered with water

  10. Interesting Facts About the Ocean • The average temperature of the ocean is 2 Degrees Celsius. That’s about 39 Degrees Fahrenheit. • The color blue is least absorbed by seawater, the same shade of blue is most absorbed by microscopic plants called phytoplankton, drifting seaweed.
