Answer 1

Answer:

Due to the presence of suitable environment.

Explanation:

Suitable environmental conditions are responsible for the presence of large amount of species in water bodies because suitable environmental conditions provides necessary materials for the growth and survival of organisms. The marine environment that have sufficient amount of food, space, optimum temperature, pH and salt concentrations so in this environment more number of species are present due to increase in population as compared to those ecosystem having harsh environmental conditions.
