|---|---|---|
Freshwater marsh | arrow_right_alt | - algae, moss, cattails - fish (ex: high O2 = trout, low O2= catfish) |
Open ocean | arrow_right_alt | - algae, emergent plants (i.e. water lily) - fish, amphibians, turtle, frogs |
Estuary | arrow_right_alt | - grasses, reeds - dependent; wading birds, elephant, hippo, beaver |
Lakes and ponds | arrow_right_alt | - sedges, reeds, mangroves - fish, crustaceans, wading birds |
Rivers and streams | arrow_right_alt | - algae, - coral, small fish, larger predatory fish (i.e. snappers) |
Coral reef | arrow_right_alt | - phytoplankton, kelp, seaweed, seagrass - large fish, krill, shark, octopus, squid, sea turtle |
Match the aquatic biome with the correct abiotic factors.

|---|---|---|
Coral reef | arrow_right_alt | - as flows, width increases - steeper slope = faster = more O2 |
Open ocean | arrow_right_alt | - nutrient runoff causes algal blooms (typically in eutrophic) |
Estuary | arrow_right_alt | - rich in minerals - soil is saturated most of plant’s growing season |
Lakes and ponds | arrow_right_alt | - rich in nutrients - salt content and water level varies |
Freshwater marsh | arrow_right_alt | - typically in shallow water = a lot of sunlight and DO due to waves - nutrient-poor |
Rivers and streams | arrow_right_alt | - some parts (i.e. tropics) have higher salinity - upwelling brings up cool, nutrient-rich water |
