 | | Uniqueness of the Seabed: Romancing the Giant Clam | | by Matt John, Dec 3, 2008 | | When scientists and marine biologists mention symbiosis, one can only begin to fathom the relationship between two different living creatures that live close together and depend on each other in a particular way, each getting particular benefits from the other in order to survive. How far you can fathom this feat depends upon what you see and sometimes even what you experience. If you have seen a giant clam in the wild (seabed), you will know how beautiful it is. | | Comments(8) Liked It: 5 |

 | | Amazing Marine Biology: Plankton, Krill Everywhere | | by Verity, Oct 8, 2008 | | Plankton is the mass of tiny organisms that drifts at or near the surface of oceans, lakes, and other bodies of water. The word plankton comes from a Greek word that means wandering. Some planktonic organisms can swim, but they cannot swim strongly enough to avoid being carried about by water currents. | | Comments(1) Liked It: 4 |

 | | How an Eye is Adapted to See Underwater | | by Victoria Osborne, Sep 8, 2008 | | At the bottom of large bodies of water such as the sea dwell the bottom feeding fish and deep water sea life. It is here, below 400m, that sunlight never penetrates. However, at these depths also reside creatures that are luminous such as some squid species, which probably give off sufficient light to alert the bottom dwelling fish of their presence. | | Comments(1) Liked It: 1 |
