  1. 1. Photic zone 2. Phytoplankton 3. Zooplankton 4. Estuary 5. Kelp bed 6. Intertidal zone 7. Coral reef 8. Neuston 9. Nekton Areas of light penetration Tiny floating plants - producers Tiny floating animals - consumers Area where fresh and salt water meet Most productive and interesting cold water habitat Areas alternately covered and uncovered Areas of coral found in warm tropical waters Floaters and drifters move independent of ocean currents self propelled Aquatic Biomes

  2. Littoral zone Benthos Decomposers Hydrothermal vents Rooted zone Bottom dwellers Break down dead organisms Biome where energy comes from chemicals Aquatic Biomes

  3. Aquatic Biomes The 2 major limiting factors: Given the names and pictures be able to identify the aquatic biomes. • Light • Nutrients

  4. Aquatic Biomes Recognize aquatic biomes Where are coral reefs found? Pacific Ocean Indian Ocean Caribbean Gulf of Mexico • Coral reef • Open ocean • Tide pools • Estuaries /Salt marsh • Hydrothermal vents • Ponds and lakes • Rivers and streams • Marsh • Swamp

  5. Rivers Streams Ponds Lakes Marshes Swamps Moving water 4yds + Moving water 4yds - Still water small Still water large Wet lands -Reeds and Rushes Wet lands -Trees and Shrubs Freshwater Aquatic Biomes
