Your Name _______________________________Period_____ Date___________________ Ch. 16 Title Record Here _____________________________________________________________________ Central Case: Collapse of the Cod Fisheries - pp. 443-444 *Why does the author say that the cod has had more impact on human civilization than any other fish? *the Atlantic cod (Gasus morhua) is a type of __________________________, a name given to any fish that lives or feeds along the ______________________. *cod occur in 24 discrete populations, commonly called __________________. *the crash of the cod came in the 19_____, because too many fish had been taken and because______________ had destroyed so much underwater habitat *by 1992, scientists reported that mature cod were at just _____% of their long-term abundance *How did the Fisheries Minister and the government respond to this crisis? *in 1994, the _______________________________________________(NMFS) closed 3 prime fishing areas on Georges Bank *What does the research suggest about why cod are not recovering as hoped? THE OCEANS- pp. 444-449 Be familiar with Figure 16.2, p. 445: The _________________Ocean is the largest and, like the Atlantic and ___________________________Oceans, includes both tropical and temperate waters. The smaller _________________________ and ________________________ include the waters in the north and south polar regions, respectively. Oceans cover most of Earth’s Surface *the one “world ocean” covers _____% of Earth’s surface and contains _____% of its surface water. The oceans contain more than water *_______________________ near the equator is _______ because this region has a great deal of precipitation, which is relatively salt-free. In contrast, surface salinity is high at latitudes roughly _____________degrees north and south, where evaporation exceeds precipitation. *Roughly ____% of the gas dissolved in seawater is ________________, which is produced by ___________________________ plants, bacteria, and __________________________, and by diffusion from the atmosphere. Ocean water is vertically structured *Water density increases as _____________________rises and as _____________________falls; these relationships give rise to different ________________of water; heavier (_________________ and _______________) water ____________; and lighter (___________ and less salty) water remains nearer the surface *Below the zone of surface water lies the ___________________, a region in which the density increases rapidly with depth; contains about _____% of ocean water by volume, compared to the surface zone’s 2%; the remaining 80% resides in the deep zone beneath the __________________________ *the reason for the stable temperature of the ocean is that water has a very high ______________ _______________, a measure of the heat required to increase temperature by a given amount *by absorbing heat and releasing it to the atmosphere, the oceans help regulate Earth’s ____________________ Ocean water flows horizontally in currents *surface ________________are vast riverlike flows driven by density differences; flow within the upper 400m of water, horizontally and for great distances *in your own words- explain the importance both historically and ecologically of ocean currents: Make a chart of the ocean currents with column headings “warm-water” vs. “cold-water” and list those depicted in Figure 16.5 on p. 447- record the names of each current under the headings and at least one of the nearest continents Warm-Water Currents Cold-Water Currents Flows by this/these continents Vertical movement of water affects marine ecosystems *__________________, is the vertical flow of cold, deep water toward the surface, occurs where horizontal currents diverge; these waters are rich in _______________________from the bottom; sites of high ______________________ productivity *The ___________________effect draws wind and water away from the CA coastline- and then pulled up from the bottom to replace the water that moves away from shore- see Figure 16.6 *______________________is an area where surface currents converge, surface water sinks Seafloor topography can be rugged and complex *the lowest spot in the oceans --_____________________ Trench in the South Pacific---is deeper than Mount Everest is high, by over 2.1 km; the longest mountain range is underwater- the __________________________________ Ridge runs the length of the Atlantic Ocean *________________________the measurement of ocean depths & __________________is the physical geography, or the shape and arrangement of landforms *the _______________________slope angles somewhat steeply downward, connecting the continental shelf to the deep ocean basin below *______________ zone is the well-lighted top layer of the ocean where nearly all of the ocean’s primary productivity occurs *______________is the habitat and ecosystems occurring between the ocean’s surface and floor *_____________is the term for habitats and ecosystems that occur on the ocean floor MARINE and COASTAL ECOSYSTEMS– pp. 449-454 Open-ocean ecosystems vary in their biological diversity *microscopic ___________________constitute the base of the marine food __________ in the pelagic zone *____________________found in the uppermost reaches of ocean waters are billions and billions of these tiny photosynthetic ____________, protists, and _____________________; _______________________, small animals and protists dine on these and comprise the next _________________level (see Figure 16.9) *How do organisms that live where light doesn’t reach get their energy?

Asian cultures use kelp for alginates that serve as ____________________ for products such as cosmetics, paints, paper and soaps Coral reefs are treasure troves of biodiversity *a coral reef is a mass of _________________________________composed of the skeletons of tiny colonial marine organisms known as corals (which are tiny ___________________animals related to sea anemones and jellyfish); these derive nourishment from symbiotic algae known as _________________________ __________________________is a process that occurs when zooanthellae leave the coral, depriving it of nutrition; thought to result from increased sea surface ________________________associated with global ____________________change *What other actions are threatening and causing the decline of coral reefs worldwide? Intertidal zones undergo constant change *another name for the intertidal zone, where the ocean meets the land, _________________, spread between the uppermost reach of the high tide and the lowest limit of the low tide *tides are the periodic rising and falling of the ocean’s height at a given location, caused by the ___________________________of the moon and _________; tides occur roughly _____hours apart *marine organisms that live in these zones must protect themselves from _____________predators at high tide and ___________________predators at _________tide Salt marshes occur widely along temperate shorelines *grasses such as those in the genera ____________________ and Distichlis comprise the dominant vegetation in most salt marshes *these marshes provide critical ____________ for shorebirds, filter out _________________________ and stabilize shorelines against storm surges Mangrove forests line coasts in the tropics and subtropics *mangroves are trees with unique types of __________________ that curve upward like snorkels to attain ______________ lacking in the mud or that curve downward like stilts; these serve as __________________for fish&shellfish; provide materials that people use for _______________, _____________, tools and construction *we have eliminated __________the world’s mangrove forests; and continues to decline by 2-8% per year *we have granted only about ____% of the world’s remaining mangroves protection against________________ Freshwater meets salt water in estuaries *estuaries are water bodies where rivers flow into the _________________, mixing ________ with _____water *___________________is a term for a fish, such as salmon, that spawn in fresh water and mature in salt water HUMAN USE and IMPACT- pp. 454-457 Oceans provide transportation routes *ships transport ________________water, which, when discharged at ports of destination, may transplant aquatic organisms picked up at ports of departure; some of these species, such as the ___________ musselestablish themselves and becomes ______________________ We extract energy and minerals *worldwide, about ____% of our crude oil and nearly _________ of our natural gas comes from seafloor deposits; ____________________hydrate is an ice-like sold consisting of molecules of methane embedded in a crystal lattice of water molecules; these are stable at ___________________ and pressure conditions found in many sediments on the Artic seafloor; estimates from the USGS estimates that the world’s deposits of this may hold ____________as much carbon as all known deposits of ________, __________, and natural gas combined *What are some disadvantages to the use of this energy resource discussed in the text? Marine pollution threatens resources *the Ocean Conservancy’s annual International Coastal Cleanup, is a __________________organization that in a 2006 cleanup picked up 3.2 _______________kg (or 7.0 million lb) of trash from 55,600 km (34,600 mi) of shoreline Nets and plastic debris endanger marine life *most plastic is not __________________, it can drift for decades before washing up on beaches *of 115 marine mammal species, 49 are known to have eaten or become entangled in marine _____________, and 111 of 312 species of ___________________are known to ingest plastic *in Dec. 2006, the US Congress responded to the problem of marine debris and passed the ____________ ________________Research, __________________, and Reduction Act Oil pollution comes from spills of all sizes *research the basic facts surround this major spill:the ____________________________spill in Prince _____________ Sound, Alaska- record the facts- the why, what, how below: *a bigger problem are the many small spills that result from ____________________sources; petroleum can physically coat and kill marine organisms and can _______________them when ingested *the US _____________________________of 1990 created a $1 billion prevention and cleanup fund and required that by ____________ all oil tankers in the US waters be equipped with ____________________ as a precaution against puncture --What was the Exxon Valdez renamed?

What made the researchers of a paper published in Nature suspect that the Chinese were falsely inflating their catch numbers? Fisheries managers and policy-makers depend on the FAO for information about the state of the world’s fisheries. By using these inflated numbers, the FAO had encouraged a global “__________________________________” of the last of the world’s fish. Fisheries management has been based on maximum sustainable yield *What do fisheries managers do? *one key change reformers who want a change in fisheries management suggest is to shift the focus away from __________________________and toward viewing marine resources as elements of larger __________________________; ____________________________approach is to set aside areas of ocean where systems can function without ____________________________________. We can protect areas in the ocean *__________________________________(MPAs) do not necessarily __________________all their natural resources; nearly all of them allow _________________________; many scientists and some fishers want to establish “no-take” areas called ____________________________ Why do scientists think this reserve approach is a “win-win” proposition? Who opposes this approach? And Why? Reserves can work for both fish and fishers In your own words explain the data collected that indicates that reserves are working as a “win-win” solution: How should reserves be designed? (read section and summarize the main points in your own words) Explain the impacts of size of the reserve on the ecological communities and fisheries.
