In Ocean Zones Lifestyles
Ocean Zones (shoreline to open ocean) Intertidal Zone n Neritic Zone n Oceanic Zone n Benthic Zone n
Intertidal Neritic Zone Continental Shelf Oceanic Zone Sunlight Benthic Zone
Intertidal Zone n Intertidal Zone Continental Shelf n Area between high tide line and low tide line Organisms adapted to harsh, changing environments
Neritic Zone Area over the continental shelf n Area of greatest density and diversity of marine life n Neritic Zone Continental Shelf
Oceanic Zone n Continental Shelf From the continental break out to open ocean
Benthic Zone The Ocean Floor n Underlies all the other zones n Benthic Zone
Ocean Zones (surface to ocean floor) 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
Sunlight or Photic Zone Transition Zone Midnight Zone Abyssal Zone 0 200 1000 4000 6000 11, 000
Midnight Zones n n 1, 000 m Midnight Zone n 11, 000 m No sunlight From 1, 000 m down to ocean floor, or around 11, 000 m Low density and diversity of marine life
Lifestyles n 3 Basic Lifestyles: • Plankton • Nekton • Benthos
Plankton Floaters or very poor swimmers n Plankton divided into 2 groups: • Phytoplankton – producers, photosynthesizers • Zooplankton – consumers n
Phytoplankton n Must live in the photic zone Most abundant in shallow coastal areas or in upwelling zones The basis of the oceanic food web
Phytoplankton n n Cyanobacteria Diatoms Coccolithophores Dinoflagellates
Zooplankton Foraminifers n Radiolarians n Cnidarians n Combjellies n Arthropods n Larvae n
Zooplankton
Nekton (swimmers) Free swimmers n Maneuver actively in the water column n Found in the water column from surface to ocean floor n
Nekton (swimmers) n 5 Categories: • Reptiles • Mammals • Fish • Arthropods • Mollusks
Nekton (swimmers) n Marine Reptiles: • Turtles • Snakes • Crocodiles • Iguanas
Nekton (swimmers) n Marine Mammals: • Whales • Seals • Otters • Manatees • Dolphins
Nekton (swimmers) n Bony Fish: • Tuna • Barracuda • Eels • Angler Fish
Nekton (swimmers) n Cartilaginous Fish • Sharks • Rays • Skates
Nekton (swimmers) n Marine Arthropods • Shrimp n Mollusks • Squid • Octopi
Benthos (bottom dwellers) Live either on or attached to the bottom n Primarily filter feeders or scavengers n
Benthos (bottom dwellers) n 2 Basic Types: • Sessile - Live attached to the bottom • Vagrant - Able to move about
Benthos (bottom dwellers) n Sessile: • Barnacles • Sponges • Corals • Sea Anemones • Oysters • Clams
Benthos (bottom dwellers) n Vagrant: • Crabs • Sea Stars • Sea Cucumbers • Sea Urchins • Brittle Stars
