Good day Everyone
Our topic for today is
the
Aquatic Ecosystem
The learners…
• describe the
different kinds of
ecosystem.
• describe the
members of food
chain in each
ecosystem.
As you read the lecture below, you
should be able to answer the
following questions:
• What Is the Aquatic Food Chain?
• What is the difference between
Freshwater and Aquatic ecosystem?
Aquatic Ecosystem
Habitat is a part of an ecosystem.
The climate, plants, and animals
are the identities of a habitat.
Ecosystems primarily have two
domains:
1.Terrestrial or Land ecosystem
2.Aquatic or Water ecosystem.
An aquatic ecosystem includes a
group of interacting organisms
which are dependent on one
another and their water
environment for nutrients and
shelter. Examples of aquatic
ecosystem include oceans, lakes
and rivers.

 What Is the Aquatic Food Chain?
Food chain existing in the aquatic ecosystem
often starts with algae or phytoplankton as
producers, then zooplankton, which feed on
them. Zooplankton are then eaten by small fish
and crustaceans, which in turn get consumed by
large fish, sharks and whales.
