Marine Biome
Sasha Botsul and Beverly Flores
Date 1
Sebastian! (with some help from Flounder)
Our host is...
The Largest and One of the Most Mysterious Biomes on Earth....
Known as the Marine Biome!
Marine Biomes are areas that have a presence of saltwater. The main one is Oceans.
Welcome to...
Now let's go to Flounder for some fun facts.
Did You Know...
Marine Biomes influence our lives. For example, through evaporation, they provide our crops with rain. More than half the world's rain fall over the ocean. This is because the ocean is so large and the water cycle runs faster due to the biome being made of water.
Ocean Climate
Cool, Right?
In deep waters the temperature is around freezing, while tropical clear waters are very warm. The sun warms the surface of the water, so the average temp for oceans is 39 degrees celsius, but the deep waters are cold, dark, and mysterious.
Ocean Temperature
Thank god we don't live in the deep sea!!
Where is it located?
Location
I can see where I live from here!
The PACIFIC OCEAN!
Let's head to...
Carnivores
Let's meet our friends from under the sea...
Animals
Omnivores
Herbivores
"What? Sharks?"
First let me introduce you to some of our meat eating friends!
Elephant Seal
Pacific White Sided Dolphin
Hammerhead Shark
Animals that eat meat are also known as...
Carnivores
Hey look! It's my brother!
Now let's meet some Omnivores!
Humpback Whales
Salt Water Crabs
Sea Otters
Omnivores are animals that eat both meat and plants.
Gnarly, dude!
And last but not least,
meet our plant eating friends...
Dugong
Palette Surgeon Fish
Green Sea Turtles
Woah, is that Crush?
Because these friends eat plants they are classified as herbivores.
WRONG MOVIE!
Wait a minute I know those guys! They made our movie!

NO! Producers are organisms that make their own food!
Ecological Relationships
Let's take an exclusive look at some
Ecological Relationships
from under the sea...
Predator vs. Prey
Tiger Sharks are a very aggressive predator in the pacific ocean. They are known to eat just about anything that they can capture. The Tiger Sharks found near Hawaii mainly eat Green Sea Turtles.
This is when the predator eats the prey. Watch out Flounder, my eels are hungry!
Predator vs Prey
Competition
Sea Lions are a good example of competition. They live in harems, which are a group of 30 females that mate with the male in their group. The males that don’t have a harem form subgroups. Within these subgroups there is a hierarchy. Only the strongest males get to be on top of the social structure, facing many challenges to get there.
Competition
Oh god! That's scary!
Mutualism
Boxer crabs use sea anemones for defense from danger. In return the sea anemones feed off of the crab’s leftovers. They both benefit.
Mutualism
Wow! It's a cheerleader!
Commensalism
Barnacles live on a whale's back to get access to foods. Barnacles are filter feeders, they depend on the availability of plankton and they filter the plankton into their bodies while attached to the whale. Barnacles thrive off whales, but the whales are not affected, demonstrating commensalism.
Commensalism
Parasitism
HOLD THE PHONE!
Isopods and fish are an example of a parasitism relationship. Isopods enter into a fish through its gills and start off by eating the fish tongue. The isopods replace the fish’s tongue and eat the fish's food. This causes harm to the fish because they can’t eat and they eventually die. Therefore, this is an example parasitism.
Parasitism
Adaptations
Now we will take a look at how our friends have adapted to life on the ocean floor!
Defense
No big deal. I can do it too.
Carnivore
Squid produce ink. This allows them to defend themselves when being threatened. When they release ink it allows them to make a quick escape.
Defense
Producer
Marine algae provides itself with a special chemical defense which allows it to protect itself from predators.
Producer
So that's what stung me.
Food
Carnivore
Dolphins are very fast swimmers, one of the fastest. Their speed allows an increase in hunting skill. As well as speed, another adaptation they have is that they hunt in groups called pods. This allows them to herd the fish, and one at a time each dolphin has it’s meal.
Food
I thought I was fast.
Reproduction
Carnivore
A male puffer fish makes an “underwater crop circle” in attempts to attract a female puffer fish. From there, the female puffer fish picks her mate depending on whether or not they liked their creation.
Mate/Reproduction
I wish I could do that
Producer
Algae also has a reproductive adaptation. They can reproduce both sexually and asexually. When they are isolated they reproduce asexually by releasing spores. Algae reproduces sexually when male and female gametes (reproductive cells) fuse together.
Producer
Food Web
Food Webs
I am glad I am not a part of that food web!
Tertiary Consumer: Tuna
Tertiary Consumer #2: Large Shark
Food Chain
Let's not forget it all starts with the sun!
Primary Consumer: Shrimp
Dino-flag-el- latte?
What a funny word!
Secondary Consumer: Lantern Fish
Producer: Dinoflagellates
A special performance by me
And now
Thanks for tuning in!
