Question
Chapter 52.3, Problem 2CC
Summary Introduction
To determine: How the organism is able to survive in the changing salt concentrations in estuaries.
Concept introduction:
Osmosis is the process in which the water molecules move from a region of low solute concentration to that of high solute concentration, to maintain osmoregularity. Many aquatic organisms that thrive in different concentrations of salts, such as in estuaries regulate their internal salt concentration with that of the external salt concentration.

1. Based on Graphicsa) Where is the position of the marine biota zone, make a zone inhabited by stenohaline and euryhaline groups. Explain!b) Why is the number of estuary water species the least compared to the other two biota groups?
2. Where is the productivity of plankton in the neritic and oceanic layers high? what is the reason for this?
MAKE CONNECTIONS Freshwater bivalvesfeed on and can reduce the abundance of photosynthetic protists and bacteria. As such, would theextinction of freshwater bivalves likely have weakor strong effects on aquatic communities (seeConcept 28.6)? Explain.
WHAT IF? Predict how the results would change if water samples weredrawn from areas where new duck farms had greatly increased the amountof pollution in the water. Explain.
