Quiz
• A fish consists of:– Gills– Lack of limbs or digits– Scales
• Swim in schools• 32,400 species of fish
– Sharks, sting rays, clown fish will be covered in this presentation
Fish
NextMenu
• 470 species of sharks• Carnivorous • Has a cartilaginous skeleton• 5-7 gill slits on each side of head• Great white shark most famous
– Jaws movie• Smallest shark
– Dwarf lanternshark – 17 cm• Largest shark (and fish)
– Whale shark – 39 feet
Sharks
NextMenuPrevious
• 500 species of rays• Closely related to sharks• Flattened bodies• Electric rays can produce up to 220
volts • Feed off ocean floor from snails,
clams, oysters, and crustaceans
Rays (Batoidea)
NextMenuPrevious
• 30 species of clownfish• Amemonefish is the scientific name• Range from 3.9 to 7.1 inches• Lives in warmer waters
– Indian Ocean, Pacific Ocean, Great Barrier Reef, and the Red Sea
• Feed from small invertebrates that could potentially harm sea anemone
• The fish in the film “Little Nemo” was a clownfish
Clownfish
MenuPrevious
• 128 different species• They are mammals, like humans, but need
the ocean for their existence• Need oxygen to breathe• Holds breath when underwater, needs to
come up for air• Major species:
– Seals, whales, and dolphins
Marine Mammals
NextMenu
• Scientific name: pinnipeds– Fin footed mammals
• Walruses, sea lions, and true seals are most commonly known seals
• Flippers help them swim through the water• Over hunting almost drove them to extinction
Seals
NextMenuPrevious
• Breathe air from blow hole• Largest whale (and animal)
– Blue Whale
• Smallest whale– Pygmy Sperm Whale
• Whales are known to socialize with each other• Some whales can live up to 77 years
Whales
NextMenuPrevious
• Very close cousins with a whale• About 40 species • Vary in size from 4 to 30 feet• One of the most intelligent animals• Very playful• Has a blowhole • Most known dolphins:
– Bottlenose dolphin, common dolphin, killer whales
Dolphin
MenuPrevious
• Multicellular animals that inhibit a marine enviroment
• Lack a vertebral column• Can have a shell or hard exoskeleton• Thousands of different species
– Cnidaria (jellyfish)– Crustacea (lobsters, crabs)– Mollusca (octopus)
Invertebrates
NextMenu
• Over 10,000 species• Found exclusively in marine environments• Prey on many different plants and animals, such as
plankton, algae, and even starfish• Bodies consist of mesoglea, a non-living jelly substance• Free floating• Some reproduce sexually and asexually• Scientist claim they have been around for 580 million
years
Cnidaria
NextMenuPrevious
• Over 67,000 species!• Has an exoskeleton • Most live in the water, however some do live on land• Crabs, lobsters, crayfish, shrimp, krill and barnacles are
common names of crustaceo• Have two-parted limbs• 10 million tons are produced, fished, and farmed for
human consumption every year– Shrimp
Crustacea
NextMenuPrevious
• Around 85,000 species• Largest marine phylum• Second largest animal
phylum• Octopus, giant squid
are the largest and most neurologically advanced out of all the molluscas
Mollusca
Largest Marine An-imal Phylum by
Far MolluscaAll other animals
MenuPrevious
• Reptiles that have adapted for aquatic life in a marine enviroment
• Saltwater crocodile, sea snakes, sea turtle
Marine Reptiles
NextMenu
• Largest of all living reptiles• Lives in: • Northern Australia, Southeast Asia, and eastern
coast of IndiaSnout twice the size of a regular crocodile
• Largest on record found is 20 feet• Very fast on land, but even faster in the water• Eats pretty much any animal who comes too
close
Saltwater Crocodile
NextMenuPrevious
• Grow between 3.9 to 9.8 feet in length• Very venomous snakes
– Although most are reluctant to bite, making them pretty harmless
– When they do bite, very little venom enters the body– Very painless
• They swim in the ocean most of their lives• Must come to the surface to breathe• Most feed on fish
Sea Snake
NextMenuPrevious
• Inhabit all oceans but the Arctic• Mostly always submerged in the water• Lives up to 80 years• Takes decades to reach sexual maturity • Some females return to the place of their birth to
lay their eggs– She lays lots of eggs, but only a few baby sea turtles
make it
• Immune from jellyfish stings, and regularly eat them
Sea Turtle
