Chapter 39, Problem 9WIO
Use the clues provided to determine which biome houses each of the following four fish. Yellowfin tuna swim in deep salt water; young sea bass occupy areas where fresh and salt water mix; brook trout require dear, cool, oxygen-rich fresh water; and catfish prefer warm, quiet fresh water with a slow current.

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

Dead zones: algal blooms consume oxygen, kills shellfish and displaces fish. Poisonous algae and countless plants and animals have invaded harbor waters and disrupted the local ecological balance. Destruction of coral reefs. Of the seventeen major world fisheries, four are depleted and the other thirteen are either fished to capacity or over-fished. Ghost nets: lost or discarded fishing nets keep on fishing. Nitrogen and phosphorus from sources such as fertilizer, sewage and detergents, enter coastal waters. Invasive species, such as zebra mussels. Cruise ships and tourists. Commercial marine fisheries. 01 S ITEM BANK: M 2arrow_forwardYou 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_forward
- Which aquarium would contain the most stable ecosystem?arrow_forwardMany organisms live in environments with extreme conditions (ex. desert), and as a result, they possess anatomical and behavioral adaptations that allow them to survive and maintain homeostasis. Consider fennec foxes living in the desert. Identify three major abiotic conditions, describe how these conditions would impact the organisms' ability to maintain homeostasis (1-2 sentences each), and discuss potential adaptations (morphological and/or behavioral) that would assist in maintaining homeostasis (2-3 sentences each).

- Two species of fish live in the Pacific ocean. The first species, Bigous fishis, can only live in the upper level of the sea close to the surface. The second species, Littlout fishis, lives in the lower levels of the sea near the ocean floor. However, without the presence of Bigous fishis, the Littlous fishis, can live in all the parts of the ocean. For Bigous fishis, the lower level of the sea would be considered_______For Littlous fishis, the entire ocean would be considered their_________and the lower levels of the ocean would be considered their________ A.

Bcologists, including aquatic biologists, use the range of tolerance to monitor the number of different populations residing in the area. m order to do so they use statistical models. Create a graph displaying on the x-axis the ranges of abiotic conditions such as temperature to study the population of rainbow trout in the area ( use the launch model as an example), Label each interval with temperature range and condition. What Causing Stress in Rainbow Trout Population The optimal range is the amount of an abiotic factor that produces the highest possible population. For water temperature, this would be about 6-10°C.

- You explore a coastal area where dense forests of salt-tolerant trees grow in shallow water. The roots of these trees extend into the water and provide important habitat for fish, crabs, and other marine species. Based on your observations, which aquatic biome are you most likely in? Group of answer choices Stream / river Coral reef Mangrove swamp Freshwater wetland Lake / pond Salt marsh / estuaryarrow_forwardWhich one of the options below best describes where the water column meets the sea floor? The benthic zone The abyssal zone The euphotic zone O The pelagic zone The neritic zonearrow_forwardThe resource page discusses an increasing threat of nuisance flooding in North Carolina. To understand what nuisance flooding is, you have to have a basic understanding of tides. How are tides generated and propagated around ocean basins? Explain how the factors that control tides change over the course of one month and tie that back to the problems with nuisance flooding. Please be sure to reference your article (include information about it) in your answer and define any scientific terms your audience may not know.arrow_forward
