This phylum consists of jellyfish‚ anemones‚ corals‚ and hydras. Another type of invertebrate aquatic animal is the annelids which are segmented worms. There are three different classes they are polychaetes‚ oligochaetes‚ and

An aquatic animal is an animal‚ either vertebrate or invertebrate‚ which lives in water for most or all of its life.[1] It may breathe air or extract its oxygen from that dissolved in water through specialised organs called gills‚ or directly through its skin. Natural environments and the animals that live in them can be categorized as aquatic (water) or terrestrial (land). Animals that move readily from water to land and vice versa are often referred to as amphibious. The term aquatic can in theory

Ecosystems can be complex and hard to manage. In fact‚ they can encompass diverse species and habitats. As such‚ specific planning and prioritization is needed in order to protect them from the different threats that might undermine their existence‚ but also preserve and enhance the life of species through a variety of measures and activities. Description of ecosystems The Shut-in Mountain is home to a variety of specifies. Among‚ these species we find invertebrates‚ fish‚ birds‚ fen‚ etc. The

An ecosystem is a community of living organisms (plants‚ animals and microbes) in conjunction with the nonliving components of their environment (things like air‚ water and mineral soil)‚ interacting as a system. These components are regarded as linked together through nutrient cycles and energy flows. As ecosystems are defined by the network of interactions among organisms‚ and between organisms and their environment‚ they can come in any size but usually encompass specific‚ limited spaces (although

Veterinarians help to maintain the health of animals and work to recover their health. They diagnose and treat medical conditions of pets and other animals. Veterinarians can specialize in many different areas. Marine-life‚ or aquatic veterinarians specialize in the health of aquatic animals. Some animals they work with include fish‚ sea turtles‚ dolphins‚ stingrays‚ whales and in some cases sharks. Veterinarians must be very skillful in many different areas. The most important skill a vet needs is a passion

Environmental Impacts on Ecosystems Introduction An ecosystem is a community of living organisms (plants‚ animals and microbes) in conjunction with the nonliving components of their environment (things like air‚ water and mineral soil)‚ interacting as a system. These biotic and abiotic components are regarded as linked together through nutrient cycles and energy flows. Ecosystems are controlled both by external and internal factors.

2013 Aquatic Ecosystem Function An ecosystem can be defined as “all the organisms in a given area as well as the abiotic factors with which they interact” (Reece et al. 2010). Common aquatic ecosystems range from the largest oceans to the smallest creeks‚ but each aquatic ecosystem plays a pivotal role in global ecology. Each ecosystem consists of important aspects including nutrients cycling‚ biodiversity‚ and energy flow that contribute to the overall state of the ecosystem. However‚ the
