3. COAST - Marine & Aquatic Habitats Activities - Benthic BINGO
...tat type. Several factors control the distribution and diversity of benthic organisms. These factors include the amount of light, salinity or salt content of the water, temperature, food/nutrient availability, and the stability and type of substrate associated with the habitat. Crabs, lobsters, and clams are benthic organisms that may be found in a rocky intertidal habitat. Some near-shore benthic habitats contain seaweeds (non-vascular plants). Kelp is an example of a multicellular seaweed and a representative of the benthic community. This species of seaweed attaches to the bottom via a holdfast,...

4. Limpet Shell Exercise
...(like anemones, mussels, barnacles) can't move and must deal where they are. Others, like limpets and snails can move, but tend not to. Common intertidal organisms: sea stars, mussels, barnacles, crabs, fish (even eels!-they hang out in the pools), chitons, snails, limpets, sea urchins, sea slugs, clams. Limpets are gastropod mollusks (so are snails and slugs) that have a single, uncoiled, cap-like shell. They are important grazers of algae along rocky intertidal shorelines (such as along the California coast). They graze along the rocks when the water comes up, and go back to a home spot when the...

...use blindness if it comes into contact with the eyes. Sea Urchins: Contact with the sharp black spines of the black sea urchin is strongly avoided. They can penetrate deeply into the flesh and break off causing long-lasting inflammation if not removed often surgically. INGESTED TOXINS: Shell fish: (Clams, scallops, oysters, etc.) The toxin, saxotoxin, is water soluble, heat and base stabile, and is therefore not affected by steaming or cooking. It inhibits sodium channels of excitable membranes, blocking propagation of nerve and muscle action potentials. Tetradoxin: Toad, or puffer fish, common in t...

For example, here in the midwest a gallon of the appropriate shale layer contains thousands of different kinds of small fossils in the 1-cm and smaller ran...
