2. maintenance for aquaponics?
The pelagic zone of the ocean is the area of the ocean that is neither close to the bottom nor close to land. There are a wide variety of organisms that inhabit the pelagic zone. Phytoplankton float along the surface, using photosynthesis to produce food. Zooplankton are tiny organisms that float in the surface waters and feed on the abundant phytoplankton. Krill, small crustaceans, also feed on phytoplankton. They display vertical migration in which they swim at deeper depths during the day and then come up to the surface waters at night to eat. What is the relationship between zooplankton and krill?
a) Symbiosis
b) Competition
c) Parasitism
d) Commensalism
e) Mutualism

- You find an unknown species in a fishing net and are not sure where it came from. To keep it in the lab to learn more about it, and find out where it came from, what would be the best approach? Set up an estuary tank because the intermediate salinity is most likely to support life. Carefully monitor temperature, salinity, and oxygen levels to detect quickly if they are not correct. Use freshwater and lab temperatures because a freshwater environment is less stressful than a marine environment. Set up a standard marine tank because salinity and oxygen levels are similar in all marine environments. Set up an environment with low oxygen levels and low light levels to lower stress.arrow_forwardRecognize the differences between the pelagic and benthic divisions of the ocean.arrow_forwardDescribe the conditions and challenges facing organisms living in the intertidal zone.arrow_forward
