  1. Aquatic Biome- The Euphotic Zone By: Nicole Pitchford

  2. Location Uppermost layer of all the worlds oceans. (appx. 50-660 ft deep) Called “sunlit zone” Temperature ranges from 104-27 degrees Fahrenheit.

  3. Food Chain Diatoms Shrimp Ocean Fish Tuna Marlin

  4. Type of Habitat This is an aquatic biome. Saltwater The plants in this zone create 90% of the Earths oxygen. Largest amount of sea life lives here (90%), but it is the smallest size in volume. Sea life from coral reefs to Orka sharks thrive in this ocean level.

  5. Human Use Fishing grounds/food Recreation- surfing, scuba diving, fishing etc.

  6. Threats Fishing nets that are drug across the sea floor, dynamiting coral reefs, over fishing popular species, and poising harm the biome. Pollution from humans like fertilizers and household chemicals harm multiple parts of the aquatic biome. Trash and oil from boats pollute water and animals in the ocean.

  7. Subbiomes There are no real ‘subbiomes’ within the Euphotic layer, however, there are many different ecosystems including: Rocky/sandy ocean floor Coral Reefs Kelp Forests
