Marine Ecology Lecture Deep Sea Youtube This is a narrated powerpoint lecture recorded for my florida gulf coast university marine ecology course. it covers the ecology of the deep sea environment. There are 5 modules in this course. this course is about life in the oceans, from the sunlit surface to the inky depths, from microscopic phytoplankton to the great blue whale. the ocean is among the world’s most inhospitable environments for scientific research, which is why we know as much about the surface of the moon as we do the bottom.
Marine Ecosystem вђ Science Learning Hub The number of marine ecosystems is actively debated. although there is some disagreement, several types of marine ecosystems are largely agreed on: estuaries, salt marshes, mangrove forests, coral reefs, the open ocean, and the deep sea ocean. an estuary is a coastal zone where oceans meet rivers. Marine ecosystems. the earth is a blue planet. seas and oceans cover over 70% of the earth's surface and, with an average depth of over 3.2 km, the total volume of marine ecosystems is vastly greater than that of terrestrial and fresh water environments combined, comprising 98% of the total inhabitable space on the planet (speight and henderson. Formal lectures: (24 x 45 minutes): these will provide an introduction to the main marine ecosystems and their biological characteristics. the four main topics covered are the marine environment, margins of the sea, shelf seas and open oceans; and the deep sea. laboratory practical: (2 x 3 hours): these will be a mixture of hands on analytical. An attempt to test the hypothesis of longitudinal gradients in nematode biodiversity was carried out at single depths in the atlantic and mediterranean sea (figure 2a), by sampling deep sea biodiversity at 3000 m thus eliminating the potential effect of depth as co variate; danovaro, gambi, lampadariou, & tselepides, 2008; figure 2b. these.
