  1. BIOMES IN THE OCEAN

  2. LIFE ZONES IN THE OCEAN • HORIZONTAL ZONES • EXTENDING FROM LAND OUT TO SEA • COASTAL, PELAGIC, NERITIC, OCEANIC • VERTICAL ZONES • DISTANCE BELOW SEA SURFACE • NEUSTIC, EUPHOTIC, APHOTIC • BENTHIC ZONE • SEA BOTTOM HABITANTS

  3. HORIZONTAL ZONE • COASTAL ZONE (INTERTIDAL) • Region where tides expose the sea bottom for some part of the day. Between High Tide and Low Tide. • AKA: Littoral, Nearshore, Intertidal • Organizms adapted to harsh environmental changes

  4. PELAGIC ZONE • LOCATED SEAWARD OF THE COSTAL ZONE’S LOW-TIDE MARK. • CONTAINS VAST OPEN WATER OF THE OCEAN. • TWO SUBDIVISIONS: • NERITIC • OCEANIC

  5. PELAGIC ZONE • NERITIC ZONE • WATER OUTLYING THE CONTINENTAL SHELF • USUALLY EXTEND TO A DEPTH OF 600FT • SUNLIGHT PENETRATES ENTIRE COLUMN • GREATEST DENSITY AND DIVERSITY OF LIFE

  6. PELAGIC ZONE • OCEANIC ZONE • REGION OF THE SEA EXTENDING FROM THE EDGE OF THE CONTINENTAL SHELF, OVER THE CONTINENTAL SLOPE, AND OVER THE OCEAN FLOOR • DARKNESS, HIGH PRESSURES • VERTICAL ZONES ARE SIGNIFICANT HERE

  7. BENTHIC ZONE • THE OCEAN FLOOR • CONTAINS ALL HABITANTS OF THE SEA BOTTOM • COASTAL, CONTINENTAL SHELF, DEEP OCEAN…

  8. VERTICAL ZONES • EPIPELAGIC ZONE • PHOTIC ZONE OR SUNLIGHT ZONE • MESOPELAGIC ZONE • DISPHOTIC ZONE OR TWILIGHT ZONE • BATHYPELAGIC ZONE • APHOTIC ZONE OR MIDNIGHT ZONE • ABYSSOPELAGIC ZONE • APHOTIC ZONE OR MIDNIGHT ZONE • HADOPELAGIC ZONE • APHOTIC ZONE OR MIDNIGHT ZONE

  9. EPIPELAGIC ZONE • PHOTIC ZONE • ENOUGH SUNLIGHT FOR PHOTOSYNTHESIS • PRIMARY AREA OF FOOD PRODUCTION • SURFACE TO 200M

  10. MESOPELAGIC ZONE • DISPHOTIC ZONE (DYSPHOTIC) • NOT ENOUGH SUNLIGHT FOR PHOTOSYNTHESIS • 200M TO 1000M

  11. MIDNIGHT ZONES • NO SUNLIGHT • 1000M TO BOTTOM (AROUND 11,000M LOWEST) • LOW DENSITY AND DIVERSITY OF LIFE • 1000M – 4000M : BATHYPELAGIC ZONE • 4000M – 6000M : ABYSSOPELAGIC ZONE • 6000M – 11000M : HADOPELAGIC ZONE

  12. LIFESTYLES • 3 BASIC LIFESTYLES • PLANKTON • NEKTON • BENTHOS

  13. PLANKTON • FLOATERS OR VERY POOR SWIMMERS • 2 GROUPS • PHYTOPLANKTON : PRODUCERS, PHOTOSYNTHESIZERS • ZOOPLANKTON : CONSUMERS

  14. PHYTOPLANKTON • MUST LIVE IN PHOTIC ZONE • MOST ABUNDANT IN SHALLOW COASTAL AREAS OR IN UPWELLING ZONES • BASIS OF OCEANIC FOOD CHAIN

  15. PHYTOPLANKTON • CYANOBACTERIA • DIATOMS • COCCOLITHOPHORES • DINOFLAGELLATES

  16. ZOOPLANKTON • FORAMINIFERS • RADIOLARIANS • COMBJELLIES • ANTHROPODS • LARVAE

  17. PLANKTON • MEROPLANKTON • SPEND ONLY PART OF THEIR LIFE CYCLES AS PLANKTON • ARE THE LARVAL STAGES OF ORGANISMS THAT GROW TO BECOME BENTHIC OR NEKTONIC ORGANISMS • HOLOPLANKTON • SPEND THEIR ENTIRE LIFE CYCLES AS PLANKTON

  18. NEKTON • FREE SWIMMERS • MANEUVER ACTIVELY IN WATER COLUMN • FOUND IN THE WATER COLUMN FROM SURFACE TO FLOOR

  19. NEKTON • 5 CATEGORIES • REPTILES • MAMMALS • FISH • ANTHROPODS • MOLLUSKS

  20. NEKTON • MARINE REPTILES • TURTLES • SNAKES • CROCODILES • IGUANAS

  21. NEKTON • MARINE MAMMALS • WHALES • SEALS • OTTERS • MANATEES • DOLPHINS

  22. NEKTON • BONY FISH • TUNA • BARRACUDA • EELS • ANGLER FISH

  23. NEKTON • CARTILAGINOUS FISH • SHARKS • RAYS • SKATES

  24. NEKTON • MARINE ANTHROPODS • SHRIMP • CRABS • LOBSTERS • HORSESHOE CRABS

  25. NEKTON • MOLLUSKS • SQUID • OCTOPI • SNAILS • MUSSELS • CLAMS

  26. BENTHOS • BOTTOM DWELLERS • LIVE ON OR ARE ATTACHED TO BOTTOM • FILTER FEEDERS OR SCAVENGERS • 2 TYPES • SESSILE : LIVE ATTACHED TO BOTTOM • VAGRANT : ABLE TO MOVE

  27. BENTHOS - SESSILE • BARNACLES • SPONGES • CORALS • SEA ANEMONES • OYSTERS • CLAMS • STEAMERS, MMM

  28. BENTHOS - VAGRANT • CRABS • SEA STARS • SEA CUCUMBERS • SEA URCHINS • BRITTLE STARS

  29. SEA LIFE
