Marine Biology • Marine biology is the scientific study of organisms in the ocean • Organisms = anything living • Creatures covered in this presentation: • Marine Mammals • Fish • Invertebrates • Marine Reptiles Next
Saltwater Fish Marine Mammals Main Menu Reptiles Invertebrates Quiz
Fish • A fish consists of: • Gills • Lack of limbs or digits • Scales • Swim in schools • 32,400 species of fish • Sharks, sting rays, clown fish will be covered in this presentation Next Menu

Rays (Batoidea) • 500 species of rays • Closely related to sharks • Flattened bodies • Electric rays can produce up to 220 volts • Feed off ocean floor from snails, clams, oysters, and crustaceans Previous Next Menu
Clownfish • 30 species of clownfish • Amemonefish is the scientific name • Range from 3.9 to 7.1 inches • Lives in warmer waters • Indian Ocean, Pacific Ocean, Great Barrier Reef, and the Red Sea • Feed from small invertebrates that could potentially harm sea anemone • The fish in the film “Little Nemo” was a clownfish Previous Menu
Marine Mammals • 128 different species • They are mammals, like humans, but need the ocean for their existence • Need oxygen to breathe • Holds breath when underwater, needs to come up for air • Major species: • Seals, whales, and dolphins Next Menu
Seals • Scientific name: pinnipeds • Fin footed mammals • Walruses, sea lions, and true seals are most commonly known seals • Flippers help them swim through the water • Over hunting almost drove them to extinction Previous Next Menu

Cnidaria • Over 10,000 species • Found exclusively in marine environments • Prey on many different plants and animals, such as plankton, algae, and even starfish • Bodies consist of mesoglea, a non-living jelly substance • Free floating • Some reproduce sexually and asexually • Scientist claim they have been around for 580 million years Previous Next Menu
Crustacea • Over 67,000 species! • Has an exoskeleton • Most live in the water, however some do live on land • Crabs, lobsters, crayfish, shrimp, krill and barnacles are common names of crustaceo • Have two-parted limbs • 10 million tons are produced, fished, and farmed for human consumption every year • Shrimp Previous Next Menu
Mollusca • Around 85,000 species • Largest marine phylum • Second largest animal phylum • Octopus, giant squid are the largest and most neurologically advanced out of all the molluscas Previous Menu
Marine Reptiles • Reptiles that have adapted for aquatic life in a marine enviroment • Saltwater crocodile, sea snakes, sea turtle Next Menu
Saltwater Crocodile • Largest of all living reptiles • Lives in: • Northern Australia, Southeast Asia, and eastern coast of IndiaSnout twice the size of a regular crocodile • Largest on record found is 20 feet • Very fast on land, but even faster in the water • Eats pretty much any animal who comes too close Previous Next Menu
Sea Snake • Grow between 3.9 to 9.8 feet in length • Very venomous snakes • Although most are reluctant to bite, making them pretty harmless • When they do bite, very little venom enters the body • Very painless • They swim in the ocean most of their lives • Must come to the surface to breathe • Most feed on fish Previous Next Menu
