Phytoplankton and Zooplankton Differences: Plant/Animal Phytoplankton- photosynthesis- oxygen more than any other plant (67%) Zooplankton- (E.g Krill) 2. The Intertidal Zone- Biotic and Abiotic Special: Sometimes emerged in water sometimes not Slow marine animals- at mercy of the tides- what the Galeorlaria 3. The tubeworms- LABEL (Galeorlaria species) Bristles- to go up and down the tube; they can anchor in the tube when predators come- move up when covered by water, retreat at low tide Sessile organisms- doesnt move very much Abiotic Factors: weather, temperature, light, oxygen doesnt dissolve very well in water compared to CO2 4. Seaweed and Seagrasses 2 similarities Both plants- both photosynthesis Both provide microhabitats for a variety of organisms o Spawn, Protect from predators

2 differences: Seagrass has roots Seagrass is a flowering plant, seaweed doesnt (no roots)

5. Survival adaptions Different adaptions- Flat Head one Sea horses Males have the pouch- protects the young

North Pacific sea star Regrow legs No predators in Port Phillip

Cuttlefish: When they reproduce, they die- lay the eggs in protected spaces

Counter shading- bird 6. Gannets Advantages- nesting popes eye-no predators -Surrounded by food -Shallow inside- refugee for fish- gannets=dinner 7. Dredging - So ships can come in (make it deeper) - Potential effects- turbidity- increased sediments, brings in unwanted species, beaches disappear, polluted mud at the bottom of the bay from shipping- this is released due to dredging, releasing toxic substances into the bay 8. Seals- who were they? Which males? TC- 13 SC- 130 PC- 2571 P-25,700 trophic levels The ones who are losers in the genetic Unfit males in the prime compared to the ones in Phillip Island
