Pg. 120 RTW: What is one interesting fact about Aves? Objective: – I will be prepared for the Marine EOC on 5/17. Agenda: – Marine EOC Review Packet – Reptilia group send any digital documents to me! Homework: – Fish Food Project Monday, May 2 nd

Pg. 120 RTW: What is one thing you already know about sharks? Objective: – I will be able to cite examples and explain the adaptations to the marine environment of the invertebrate phyla: Fish & Sharks. Agenda: – Fish & Sharks Foldable – Fish & Sharks group be ready to present tomorrow! Homework: – Fish Food Project Tuesday, May 3 rd
4
Chordate Foldable (sharks and fish) Examples: Class Agnatha: jawless fish Class Chondrichthyes : sharks, rays, skates Class Osteichthyes (Actinopterygii): bony fish Characteristics: Gills for breathing (several shark species have to swim to breathe) Chondrichthyes have cartilage instead of bone Osteichthyes have bony skeletons and ray fins Agnatha have no jaws but rows of teeth in a circular formation
5
Chordate (sharks and fish) Diagrams: Reproduction: Agnatha and Osteichthyes: spawning or internal fertilization. Lay eggs (some are tended to others are on their own) Chondrichthyes: internal fertilization - viviparous: live birth - ovoviviparous: egg stays in mom until hatched - oviparous: egg laying (mermaids purse)
6
Phylum Chordata Subphylum Vertebrata
7
Characteristics Backbone Bilateral symmetry Endoskeleton Fish-simplest & oldest of all living vertebrates (Fossils date back to 400 million years ago) Most abundant-over 22,000 species of fish in world 58% are marine
8
Jawless Fishes class Agnatha Most primitive No jaws- feed by suction
9
Cartilaginous Fishes class Chondrichthyes (Con-dric-thees) Sharks, rays, skates, & ratfishes Skeleton is made of cartilage Lighter & more flexible than bone
11
Mouth is ventral (underneath head) Sandpaper like skin May have well developed teeth Constantly are replaced
12
Movement Fins more rigid than bony fish Rely on pectoral fins to “lift” them in order to prevent sinking (no air bladder) Large, oily liver that increases buoyancy Streamline body shape – moves quickly b/c of large muscles in the caudal fin. Asymmetric caudal fin improves stability
13
Sharks Smallest = pygmy shark (25cm) Largest = whale shark (15 meters)! These are filter feeders. Bottom dwellers = nurse & leopard Most aggressive = Great White Other dangerous sharks = Tiger and Hammerhead

15
Sensory Sensitive receptors to detect stimuli: Lateral Line organ Hair-like sensors that pick up sound vibrations up to ½ km away Ampullae of Lorenzini in the snout – senses electric fields generated by the muscles of potential prey. 2/3 of the sharks brain is devoted to sense and smell
16
Reproduction Internal fertilization Male sharks = Claspers that hold onto female for transfer of sperm into reproductive tract. Some (mostly aggressive) have internal development and live births (viviparous) -- hammerheads Some start predation early by devouring their siblings before they hatch! Other sharks and skates have external development – develop in a black, leathery case called a “mermaids purse” – take over a year to develop. (oviparous)
18
Whale Shark- largest fish in existence
19
Bull Sharks Very Aggressive Fresh and Saltwater
20
Sharks must swim to force water over their gills If caught in nets they will drown Some exceptions: nurse sharks- gills can contain enough oxygen w/o swimming
23
Bony Fishes class Osteichthyes (Osti-ich-thees) Skeleton partially bone Have an operculum-gill cover to protect gills Caudal fin usually same size (top & bottom)
24
Bony fish have fin rays vs. cartilaginous fins & a swim bladder Sunfish- largest Bony fish 1996, Japan 9.6 ft long
25
Biology of Fishes Study of fishes: Ichthyology Body Shape Directly related to lifestyle Fast swimmers=streamlined Coral reef fish=laterally compressed
26
Elongated bodies fit into rocks & other narrow spaces Truncate, short- Laterally compressed- at beginning of life one eye on each side then migrates to same side
27
Irregular shapes help with concealment-
28
Countercurrent exchange Heat exchange: legs of birds, body heating of fish such as Tuna and Mako shark
29
Fins Pairs = Pectoral & Pelvic Single = Dorsal, Anal & Symmetric Caudal (have air bladder for stability) Skin – slimy mucus coating acts as a barrier against infection and friction
30
Pelvic Fin Anal Fin 1 st Dorsal Fin 2 nd Dorsal Fin Pectoral Fin Caudal Fin

Pg. 120 RTW: What is one interesting thing you learned about Fish & Sharks? Objective: – I will be able to cite examples and explain the adaptations to the marine environment of the invertebrate phyla: Reptilia. Agenda: – Reptilia Foldable – Reptilia group be ready to present tomorrow! Homework: – FINAL IN CLASS ON 5/17: STUDY Thursday, May 5 th
33
Chordate (class reptilia) Examples: Class reptilia: sea turtle, marine iguana, crocodiles, sea snakes. General Characteristics: They are ectotherms; which means “cold blooded”. Bear their young in eggs Breathe using lungs, instead of gills
34
Chordate (class reptilia) Diagrams: Reproduction: sexual and either lay eggs or have internal development without parental nourishment. (ovoviviparous)
37
1.Kemp’s Ridley 2.Hawksbill 3.Loggerhead 4.Green 5.Leatherback Five (5) species of marine turtles nest in Florida
39
Green Sea Turtle
40
Green turtle It is one of the largest species: 3ft long recognized because they have one pair of scales in front of their eyes
41
Green Turtle Most common It’s called the green turtle because of the green color of the fat under shell, they are not actually green.
42
Diet consists almost exclusively on seagrasses and marine algae (Hatchlings eat plants and animals) Inhabits shallow waters and is attracted to lagoons with an abundance of grass and algae
43
Hawksbill
44
Hawksbill Turtle The beautiful shell often used for jewelry Distinctive by its hawk like beak Can reach 3 feet
45
Diet consists of primarily sponges Inhabits rocky areas, coral reefs, coastal areas, lagoons. Illegal trade of tortoiseshell continues
46
Kemp Ridley
47
Kemp’s Ridley
48
most endangered species, as well as the smallest: only grows to 24-28 in They are olive green in color. Mostly nest on one beach, in Rancho Nuevo, Mexico.
49
Carapace is almost as wide as long Diet consists mostly of crabs Females swarm to mass nesting emergences known as arribadas in the daylight.
50
arribadas
51
Leatherback
52
Leatherback Can dive the deepest and travel the furthest of any other turtle.
53
Can reach 4 to 8 feet Diet mostly jellyfish, but also sea urchins, squid, crustaceans, fish, blue-green bacteria, & floating seaweed Most pelagic of all sea turtles
54
Leatherbacks Instead of a solid shell they have bones in their skin that form 5 ridges.
56
Loggerhead
57
Loggerhead Turtle They can be identified by their large head, reddish brown carapace (top), and dull brown plastron (bottom).
58
Diet consists of mollusks, crustaceans, fish, other marine animals Widely distributed
59
Turtle concerns 1. Diseases……caused by??????? Pollution Red Tide Viruses
60
Fibropapilloma tumors (FY bro PAP il LO ma) Causes blindness Difficulty swimming Eventual death
63

71
Archelon: Primarily ate giant squid.
73

79
American Crocodile
81
American Alligator
83
Overlapping Teeth Gator vs Crocodile
84
Crocodiles Have been on earth for about 100 million years Human impacts have caused population to decline Found around the tip of Florida in coastal, brackish or saltwater habitats
85
American Crocodile American Alligator
86
American Alligator Primarily freshwater swamps Adults can tolerate saltwater for only short periods of time Lack salt secreting glands found in crocodiles Hatchlings receive parental care from mother staying with her for up to a year Florida Red-bellied turtles tend to lay their eggs in an alligator nest
