Chapter 5 By Coach Murray
Sponges – Filters of the Sea (5-30) • Phylum Porifera – 10,000 species mistaken for plants, heterotrophs, up to 16 ft wide, filter 20 x volume in 1 min., secrete mucus to avoid clogging • Multicelluar: collar cels (move H2O), amoebocyte (absorb/distribute nutrients), osculum (or oscula),
Sponges – Filters of the Sea (5-30) • Special Attributes of Sponges • Larvae are free swimming and attach themselves to reef/structures and begin growing into adults • Defense: needlelike spicules (Fig 5-30 in green) made of glass/calcium or some secrete toxic chemicals • Can regenerate
Coral, Anemones, Sea Fans, and Jellyfish (5-33) • PhyllumCnidaria – soft/hard corals, sea anemones, hydroids, sea fans, and jellyfish • Radial symmetry, umbrella shaped body polyp or medusa (tentacles/mouth facing up or down) • Nematocysts – stinging cells on tentacles
Speical Attributes of Corals and Anemones • Phylum Cnidaria, Class Anthozoa – 6000 species of sessile polyps (corals and anemones) • Hard corals build reefs made of calcium carbonate grow for 100+ yrs and shape entire coastlines • Feed at night on drifting plankton and look fuzzy – tentacles of genus Symbiodinium a dinoflagellate • Corals get their color from these dinoflagellates
Special Attributes of Fire Corals and Siphonophores • Class Hydrozoa – colonial, alternate b/w polyp and medusa in their lifecycle • Examples: Portuguese man-of-war • Has a fish like wish the same name • Siphonophores all sting
Special Attributes of Jellyfish • Class Scyphozoa – jellyfish, drift w/current, pulsate bodies to move, eat plankton + fish, grow up to 10’ long, larvae blooms can cause clouds 100 mi. long, prey of Leatherbacks/fish • Examples • Box Jellyfish • Kills humans
Simple Marine Worms (5-41) • 22 Phyla of 32 animal Phyla are worms (Whoa!) • You need to know 3 Phyla – Platyhelminthes – flat worms, mostly parasitic, 1 opening in body • Nemertea – semi-flat worms, carnivores, • Nemotoda – round worms, parasitic, 1 way digestive system,
Simple Marine Worms (5-41) Platyhelminthes – the flat worms
Simple Marine Worms (5-41) Nemertea – the ribbon worms
Simple Marine Worms (5-41) Nematoda – round worms
Mollusks – Bag, Scraper, and a Foot (5-43) • PhyllumMolluska – 100,000 species, 3 classes • Classes Gastropoda , Bivalvia, and Cephalopoda • General Characters of all Mollusks (Fig 5-46) • Mantle = muscular bag for motion/feeding • Muscular foot/tentacles, radulla are like teeth
Special Attributes of Class Gastropoda • Characters: (most have 1 shell) snails, slugs, sea slugs, conch • Undergo torsion in development: body twists into a loop that rearranges organs and bring them back together into a spiral shell • Those w/o shells use toxins for defense
Special Attributes of Class Bivalvia • Characters: (2 hinged shells) – no head, mantle acts as bag for filter feeding • Close shell for protection, pearls form layers of nacre (dirt surrounded by calcium carbonate) • Ex. 10,000 species of clams, oysters, and scallops
Special Attributes of Class Cephalopoda • Characters: (head-footed) – cuttlefish, squid, octopii • No shell, muscular foot = tentacles/arms, eyes • Siphon – water propeller • Chromatophores – color changing cells • Suckers for gripping
Echinoderms – Stars of the Sea (5-57) • Phylum Echinodermata = means “spiny skin” • Exoskeleton, madreporite, water vascular system, tube feet, radial (adult), bilateral (larvae), eyespots • Examples: starfish, sea urchins, basket stars,
Echinoderms – Stars of the Sea (5-57) • More Phylum Echinodermata Examples: Sand dollar, sea cucumber
Crustaceans- Underwater Arthropods – (5-51) • Phylum Arthropoda – (“bugs”)1 million species, segmented bodies, jointed legs, exoskelton of chitin. • SuperclassCrustacea – 2 antennae, manibiles for chewing, pair of appendages for each body segment, molt their exoskeletons
Crustaceans – Underwater Arthropods • Special Attributes of Class Cirripedia • Barnacles • Free swimming larvae fuses itself to hard surface • Has a carapace and uses cirri to gather food
Crustaceans – Underwater Arthropods • Class Copepoda – small, teardrop shaped, < 1mm (5-53) • Eat phytoplankton and zooplankton • Eaten by fish, krill, whale sharks, baleen whales • Fecal pellets recycle ocean nutrients rapidly
Invertebrate Chordates (5-62) • Characters • Examples
Vertebrates – 40,000 species • Phylum Chordata, Subphylum Vertebrata (64) • Characters of Subphylum Vertebrata • Top of all food webs, large, fast, complex, highly developed organisms w/ 4 limbs, complex eyes • Anthropomorphism - making human things human when they are not
Vertebrates (The Significance of Class Agnatha 5-64) • Jawless fish, shark/bony fish ancestor(?) where 1st three gill arches became the jaws of bony fish/sharks • Ex. Lampreys, hagfish, eels
Sharks and Rays – Teeth and Wings (5-65) • Class Condrichthyes, Subclass Elasmobranchii: 1000 species, have jaws, skeleton of cartilage a swim bladder, lateral line, gill slits, energy efficient, quick, inconspicuous predator • Efficient: cartilage lighter than bone, fins sit at angles and asymmetrical tails to provide lift, elastic skin, denticles not scales, teeth grow as conveyor belt (25,000 teeth in lifetime) • Ampullae of Lorenzini for electroreception
Sharks and Rays – Teeth and Wings (5-69) Continued • Class Condrichthyes, Subclass Elasmobranchii: • Most do internal fertilization, few (1-10) mature offspring – some species do lay eggs • Shark fin soup is made by catching the sharks, cutting off the fins and dumping the shark overboard • Size of your hand to 46ft (Whale shark)
Bony Fish – Half the World’s Vertebrates – 25,000+ (5-73) • Characteristics of Bony Fish– Class Osteichthyes • Skeleton of bone, true jaws, scales, external reproduction (100++ eggs), fusiform shape • swim bladder (buoyancy control – get Nitrogen from bloodstream) • Lateral lines (detect vibrations – schooling and feeding), countershading (dark top, bright underside)
Swim Bladder What is it? What does it do? • Internal organ – an oblong gas sack • Controls buoyancy in the water column • Filled with Nitrogen and Oxygen gas • Gas comes from 2 places: gulping or from the bloodstream References: http://www.glossop-sea-angling-club.co.uk/webpages/venting_files/bladder1.gif
Lateral Line • A system of hollow fluid filled canals • Most species can be seen externally • Allow the fish to detect motion and vibrations • Important for: • Schooling • Predator detection • Prey detection • References • http://www.hatchesmagazine.com/images/12806.04.01.jpg • http://www.amazonian-fish.co.uk/images/plagioscon_squamosissimus.jpg
Fusiform Structure: A type of shape….. Side view: Spindle shaped which is broader at the head and a V-shaped tail. Front view: compressed Function: reduces drag and turbulance References: http://www.fullpullsportfishing.com/images/fish/bf_tuna.jpg http://www.marinebiology.org/images/bodyshape.GIF
