Life of the Sea, Thursday, Period 2
When the students entered the Danger Shop, they'd find themselves in an underwater sea lab with large glass viewpoints extending out onto the sea floor. If they ventured toward the viewpoints, they'd see an array of fish swimming around them -- clown fish, angel fish, to name a few.
Summer smiled, a small clown fish catching her eye as it swam up to the glass and then vanished. "Continental shelves, the shallow areas of the ocean typically 200 m (650 ft) deep or less, with abundant light from the sun and nutrients from the continents, contain most of the ocean's fishes. This habitat promotes large populations of tiny invertebrate animals that are in turn eaten by fishes. Similarly, the upper 200 m (650 ft) of the ocean holds 78 percent of marine fish species. The warm, well-lit waters near coral reefs also promote a rich diversity of fish species," she explained.
"Fish can be separated into two groups -- jawless and jawed fish. The jawed fish may also be separated into two major groups: bony fish, which have skeletons made of rigid bone, and cartilaginous fish, which have skeletons made of elastic cartilage. There are nearly 1000 species of cartilaginous fish, including sharks, rays, and chimaeras, or ratfish."
Summer turned, eying a school of clown fish that were swimming around the coral reef outside the glass. "Feel free to explore the lab and check out the species of fish swimming outside. There's a submersible, if you want to head out into the habitat and get up close and personal with the fish. Just let me know."
[OCD is a go!]
