    An aquatic ecosystem develops in bodies of water like seas, lakes, rivers, and coasts. There are two main types - marine ecosystems, which are saltwater, and freshwater ecosystems. Aquatic ecosystems contain abiotic factors like temperature and pH as well as biotic components including producers, consumers, and decomposers that interact in complex food webs.

    1. Abiotic components –
    Temperature, light, pH, organic
    and inorganic matter.
    2. Biotic components Producers –
    Macrophytes, Phytoplankton.
    Consumers – Zooplankton
    (insects, fish), Herbivores.
    Decomposers – Bacteria, Fungi.

    ECOSYSTEMS
    Freshwater ecosystems are
    subdivided according to
    water movements, into
    three types

    MARINE
    ECOSYSTEMS
    They are extremely varied and
    rich in fauna and flora, in a wide
    range from microorganisms,
    marine mammals, fish, mollusks,
    to large predators and static and
    mobile plant forms.
