Ocean Habitats • A. There are two major marine provinces: the
benthic (bottom) and the pelagic (water column).–1. The benthic environment is divided by depth
into the: Intertidal zone, Sublittoral zone, Bathyal zone, Abyssal zone, and the Hadal zone–2. The pelagic environment is divided into the
Neritic Zone and the Oceanic Zone

Ocean Habitats• B. The ocean can also be divided into zones
based upon depth of light penetration.– 1. The photic zone is the depth where
light is sufficient for photosynthesis.
Photic Zone

Ocean Habitats– 2. The dysphotic zone is where illumination is
too weak for photosynthesis.– 3. The aphotic zone receives no light from the
surface because it is all absorbed by the water above.

Classification of Organisms• C. In 1735, Charles Linnaeus developed the
taxonomic classification used in zoology.

Classification of Organisms– 1. The categories are from largest to smallest: Kingdom, Phylum,
Class, Order, Family, Genus and Species.– 2. The scientific name of an organism consists of the genus name
combined with the species name.

Classification of Organisms• a. The genus name begins with a capital and
the species name with a lowercase, and is usually in italics.• b. Example: Common Bottlenose Dolphin,
Tursiops truncatus

Classification of Organisms• D. The five major kingdoms in the ocean are:
Monera, Protista, Chromista, Fungi, and Metazoa.

nucleus.

Classification of Organisms–3. Chromista are marine plants, either
floating or attached to the seafloor.

Classification of Organisms–4. Fungi are abundant in the intertidal zone
and are important in decomposition.

in the ocean.

zooplankton (animals).

Basic Ecology• Ecology is the study of the interrelationships between the
physical and biological aspects of the environment. It is the study of how organisms adapt to their environment and in turn alter it.

Basic Ecology• F. Environmental factors in the marine environment
include: temperature, salinity, pressure, nutrients, dissolved gases, currents, light, suspended sediments, substrate (bottom material), river inflow, tides and waves.

Basic Ecology• An example of a biota:– Giant kelp forests support lots of life, including sea
urchins (an invertebrate).
![Page 27: Marine Biology](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062501/56816679550346895dda172a/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Basic Ecology• An example of a biota:
– Giant kelp forests support lots of life, including sea urchins (an invertebrate).
– Sea urchins can easily eat a kelp forest if population is not limited. This means all the other animals who rely on the kelp forest for food and shelter must find it elsewhere.
![Page 28: Marine Biology](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062501/56816679550346895dda172a/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)

– Giant kelp forests support lots of life, including sea urchins (an invertebrate).– Sea urchins can easily eat a kelp forest if population is not limited. This means all the other animals who rely on
the kelp forest for food and shelter must find it elsewhere.
– Sea otters eat sea urchins.– If sea otters are present in the area of the kelp forests,
sea urchin population is controlled and the kelp forests survive.
