Exam AdviceIf you did poorly on the exam, consider the following:
That will be, by far, the easiest exam in this class
You should study the quizzes
You should be actively engaged in the quizzes, not simply waiting to hear an answer to enter
You should complete your exam review (all the terms you need are on the review, its bonus credit, and the completed review is posted online days before the exam)
History of Oceanography ProjectGet in a group of 3 or fewer
Look over the available topics & choose a few that you would like to present
Your names will be randomized & then, in that order, you will get to pick your topic.
Please mark which topic is yours, it is your responsibility to remember the topic.
This is due on Friday.
The Marine Habitats
Essentials of Oceanography
The diversity of marine life
The ocean is home to a wide variety of organisms
Marine organisms range from microscopic bacteria and algae to the largest animal in the world (blue whale)
Number of known marine species: 250,000
Classification of living things
Organisms can be classified into one of three domains of life:
Archaea
Bacteria
Eukarya Figure 12-1
Classification of living things
Organisms can also be classified into one of five kingdoms:
MoneraProtoctistaFungiPlantaeAnimalia
Figure 12-1
Classification of living things
Taxonomic classification includes the following increasingly specific groupings:
KingdomPhylum ClassOrderFamilyGenusSpecies
Taxonomic classification of selected organisms
Category Human Killer whale Giant kelp
Kingdom Animalia Animalia Protoctista
Phylum Chordata Chordata Phaeophyta
Subphylum Vertebrata Vertebrata
Class Mammalia Mammalia Phaeophycae
Order Primates Cetacea Laminariales
Family Hominidae Delphinidae Lessoniaceae
Genus Homo Orcinus Macrocystis
Species sapiens orca pyrifera
Classification of marine organisms
Marine organisms can be classified into one of three groups based on habitat and mobility:
1. Plankton (floaters)Phytoplankton (drifting plants and algae)Zooplankton (drifting animals)
2. Nekton (swimmers)3. Benthos (bottom dwellers)
Plankton: Examples
Figure 12-2
Phytoplankton Zooplankton
Nekton: Examples
Figure 12-4
Benthos: Examples
Figure 12-5
Life cycle of a squid
Squid experience benthic, planktonic, and nektonic stages
Squid are considered meroplankton (opposite = holoplankton)
“mero” – part
“holo” - whole
Figure 12-3
Distribution of species on Earth
The land has more species because it has greater environmental variability than the ocean
Most ocean species are benthic because of greater environmental variability compared to pelagic environments Figure 12-6
Adaptations of organisms to the marine environment
The marine environment presents many challenges to organisms because seawater:
Is dense enough to support organismsHas high viscosityExperiences variations in temperature and salinityContains variable amounts of dissolved gasesHas high transparencyHas a dramatic change of pressure with depth
Marine organisms have various adaptations for the conditions of the marine environment
Need for physical support
Condition:Seawater is dense enough to support marine organisms
Adaptations:Many marine organisms lack rigid skeletons, appendages, or vast root systemsInstead, they rely on buoyancy and friction to maintain their position within the water column
Need for physical support
Seawater’s viscosity controlled by temperature
Condition:Seawater’s viscosity (resistance to flow) is strongly affected by temperature
Cold water has higher viscosity than warm water, so is more difficult to swim through
Warm water has lower viscosity, so organisms tend to sink within the water column
Seawater’s viscosity controlled by temperature
Adaptations:Many warm-water organisms have ornate appendages to say afloatMany cold-water organisms are streamlined to swim more easily Figure 12-7

Bellwork: 09/17/20121) You are investigating plankton found in a bay near your fancy expensive house, and you notice that the plankton have many appendages branching from the main body of the organism. From this, you can conclude what about the water in the bay? For what reason would the plankton have these appendages?
Bellwork: 09/17/20122) What percentage of total known species are aquatic? What percentage of that percentage are Benthic? Pelagic? Why do you think that is the case?
3) If you are “new” to my class you probably still owe me a ton of work from the first unit that you missed. Don’t forget to get that done: consolaquatc.com
Seawater’s viscosity and adaptations of phytoplanktonCondition:
Phytoplankton must remain in sunlit surface waters
Adaptations:Small size increases surface area to volume ratio
Appendages increase frictional resistance
Tiny droplet of low density oil increases buoyancy
Figure 12-8
Variations in temperature
Condition:Coastal water temperatures vary more than the open ocean or at depth
Adaptations:Many coastal organisms can withstand a wide temperature range (are eurythermal, “broad”)Most open ocean and deep-water organisms can withstand only a small temperature range (are stenothermal, “narrow”)
Variations in salinity
Condition:Coastal environments experience greater salinity variation than the open ocean or at depth
Adaptations:Many shallow-water coastal organisms can withstand a wide salinity range (are euryhaline)
Most open ocean and deep-water organisms can withstand only a small change in salinity (are stenohaline). “steno” = narrow range
Osmosis
Condition:Osmosis is the movement of water molecules through a semipermeable membrane from higher to lower concentrationsOsmosis removes water from hypotonic organismsOsmosis adds water to hypertonic organisms Figure 12-13
OsmosisAdaptations:
Dissolved gases: Oxygen
Condition:Marine animals need oxygen to survive
Adaptations:Many marine animals use gills to extract dissolved oxygen from seawaterMarine mammals must breathe air

Seawater’s high transparency
Condition:Seawater has high transparency
Adaptations:Transparency
Camouflage
Countershading

The deep scattering layer (DSL)
Organisms within the deep scattering layer undertake a daily migration to hide in deep, darker waters during daytime Figure 12B
Increase of pressure with depth
Condition:Pressure increases rapidly with depth
Adaptations:Most marine organisms lack large compressible air pockets inside their bodiesWater-filled bodies exert the same amount of pressure as is pushing inward, so marine organisms do not feel the high pressure at depth
Divisions of the marine environment
Main divisions:
Pelagic (open sea)
Benthic (sea bottom)
