<span>The delineation of an aquatic ecosystem is the process of spatial identification, mapping and recording of the site; description documents the critical components and processes that underpin the ecosystem values of the site, and develops conceptual model(s) and identifies threats.
Delineating an aquatic ecosystem often starts with defining the main aquatic elements (core elements). The core elements will often be distinct landforms or features such as a waterhole, a swamp, a lake or a river. Ecotonal areas may be included as part of the core element or may be considered as a separate zone. For example, riparian vegetation is often considered to be an integral part of a river ecosystem, even if only inundated in big flood events.
The area around the core elements that has a critical influence on ecosystem function is referred to here as the Ecological Focal Zone. Beyond this, the landscape may be usefully differentiated as a Zone of Influence and a Catchment Zone.</span>
Answer:
Conduct an experiment.
Explanation:
Any scientific hypothesis or theory requires the proper step and the procedure to explain the particular points about the theory. Any statement made in the science needs the experimental proof.
The scientific experiments includes the different steps used for the validation of any hypothesis. The experiments can explain the main cause of any phenomena and the factors that might affect the experiments. The experimental studies are performed by the scientists.
Thus, the correct answer is option (e).
Answer:
D) When corals are babies floating in the plankton, fish swim with them and protect them from harm.
Explanation:
This is the statement that does not explain how fish and coral relate to one another. It is false that when corals are babies, fish swim with them and protect them. However, the rest of the statements are true. It is true that fish eat predators, and that they also eat seaweed and kelp that could smother the coral. Finally, it is also true that some fish live symbiotically with coral, luring prey for the coral to kill and eat.
