SALTWATER ECOSYSTEM

Mutualism

Commensalism

Relationship between organisms of different

species, in which both organisms benefit

from the association.

Relationship between organisms where one organism benefits from the association while not harming the other.

Algae and Fungus

Herbivore-Plant Relationship

Remora Fish & Sharks

Algae use sunlight to make glucose and fungus uses this as food, in turn fungus shelters the algae.

These fish are found swimming beneath sharks feed on scraps left over sharks meals

Herbivores eat plants, algae, and other producers. Many types of small crustaceans and turtles are herbivores that eat algae and sea grass. Also, sea urchins are powerful primary consumers in kelp forests.

Examples of Salt Water Ecosystem

Global Citizenship – where does this ecosystem exist in real life?

Victoria’s marine waters cover some 10,000 square km including waters adjacent to the open ocean and Victoria’s bays, inlets and estuaries.

They include towering kelp forests, seagrass meadows and an amazing variety of fish, sponges and other animals of many colours and shapes from tiny organisms to large sea mammals.

An entity who places their identity with a "global community" above their identity as a citizen of a particular nation or place.

Parasitic Relationships

Corner Inlet Ramsar Site

Gippsland Lakes Ramsar Site

The Corner Inlet Ramsar Site is located 260 km south-east of Melbourne. It has an important feeding, nesting and breeding area for many waterbirds, more than 390 native plant and 160 native animal species live here.

Relationship between organisms where one organism (a parasite) lives or feeds on the other, usually causing harm.

The Gippsland Lakes Ramsar Site is located 300 km from Melbourne south of the Eastern Highlands and is the largest estuarine lagoon system in Australia. It is home to more than 540 plant species and 300 native animal species including five endangered species.

Predator-Prey Relationship

DEFINITION OF SALTWATER ECOSYSTEM

Animal that hunts other animals for food. A layered pyramid is used to describe not only the relationship of larger predators feeding on smaller animals (top down) but also how the triangular shape represents the reproductive rates (from slow-reproducing top predators down to more prolific prey, like feeder fish or plankton).

It is an ecosystem in which water has more than 50 parts per thousand of dissolved salts. Here plants and animals interact with the chemical and physical features of the environment.

Biotic and Abiotic Factors

What are Biotic and Abiotic factors that act on environment.

Biotic factors

Examples of Foodweb

Abiotic factors

Biotic factors are the living things that effect an ecosystem:- Algae, Fungi, Seaweed, Aquatic Mammals, Fishes, etc.

Abiotic factors are the nonliving things that effect an ecosystem:- Sunlight, Water, Soil, Temperature and Oxygen

Food webs are more accurate than food chains and shows the feeding relationships between a number of organisms at different levels in an ecosystem. Another aspect is the range of prey by predators in order to survive the loss of one species.
