Internet Problem 6: Marine Life
This Internet problem deals with the relationship between marine Cetaceans and the trophic level at which they feed within the marine food web. You are asked to compare the seasonal migration pattern of three species of cetaceans with the Oregon State University seasonal global primary productions maps and draw some conclusion, based on what you have learned while reading the text and Instructor’s notes, as to how global primary production patterns related (or did not relate to) species migration patterns.
1) What are marine Cetaceans?
2) Choose three marine Cetacean species (preferably migrating species) from the list at the NOAA Fisheries Office of Protected Resources web page:
http://www.nmfs.noaa.gov/pr/species/mammals/cetaceans/
3) In the Data below enter the name of the species that you have chosen, and briefly describe the seasonal migration patterns for each species.

4) Go to Seasonal Global Primary Productivity Maps at:

http://marine.rutgers.edu/opp/Production/Production1.html

scroll down to:

“SEASONAL GLOBAL PRODUCTION for the standard parameterization of the VGPM”

a) How are these seasonal primary production maps constructed (what data is used)?


b) What is seasonal primary productivity?


Note: for more about how the primary production maps are constructed, go to:
http://www.science.oregonstate.edu/ocean.productivity/
Also read the Chapter 9 Essay:-Ocean Color and Marine Productivity
5) Compare the seasonal primary productivity maps with the information you have about each cetaceans species’ seasonal migration patterns. Are they related? Complete the chart below and draw some conclusions about how each species’ seasonal migration pattern is controlled by the season zones of high productivity. The key here is to understand the species and at what trophic level they feed.
Marine Species:
1) Name of Species:

Seasonal Migration Adaptation:

2) Name:

3) Name:
