Answer:

Explanation:

Blue Mussels are species found on beaches around the world and are also known as “common mussels”. They play a major role in cleaning the tidal mouth of the river. They are the staple Spanish, French and Italian food.  

“Katharina tunicate” is commonly known as the “black Katy chiton” is one of the marine species. They are found in “inter-tidal” zones. The “black oystercatcher” is a black bird that is found on the shores of western North America. So, all these are part of an ecosystem and can also be described as the population of marine species.
