Oceanic Salt Water Tanks
Marine plant life forms the basis for all ocean life. While many plant species find saltwater toxic, some have evolved to thrive in it. These species that live in saltwater have special salt excreting cells or a gelatinous coating that protects them from becoming saturated with salt water. Most marine plants are located along the coastal zones or, if they are in open water, in the eutrophic zone, the upper surface water of the ocean where sunlight can penetrate. Like all plants, marine plants require sunlight for photosynthesis.
This super easy salt water experiment is the perfect kitchen science experiment to teach kids about the density of salt versus fresh water. With summer approaching and beach trips planned it’s a great time to learn about how salty ocean water is different from fresh river water. Every batch of Oceanic Natural Sea Salt Mix is triple tested for quality and verified by an independent testing lab. The combination of natural elements, high-grade materials, and micro-crystals guarantees a solid foundation for your successful marine aquarium. Seawater contains salt. When humans drink seawater, their cells are thus taking in water and salt. While humans can safely ingest small amounts of salt, the salt content in seawater is much higher than what can be processed by the human body.
Phytoplankton is the single most important form of marine plant life. They are small, often microscopic, and have a lifespan of only one to two days. Phytoplankton thrives in all the oceans of the world, floating on the surface of the water or just below. These creatures require nutrients, such as iron, that seep up from the colder, deeper ocean waters. When the waters are too warm — during an El Nino, for instance — the plankton die faster, compromising ocean life. When they die, they sink to the bottom, where their remains collectively make up the largest storage of carbon dioxide in the world.
In addition to phytoplankton, there are also nanoplakton and zooplankton. Kelp Forests are Home to Many Aquatic Species. Kelp, a form of brown algae, grows in aptly-called kelp forests worldwide. Kelp lives along coastal areas and in the eutrophic ocean zone, usually never exceeding depths of 15 to 40 meters and never in water warmer than 68 degrees Fahrenheit.
