  • Tropical/temperate

  • Ranging from 25°C to 30°C, around 35ppt, moved by the Equatorial Current, varies greatly, and typically a vibrant blue color due to the way light interacts with water molecules, with deeper areas appearing darker blue.

  • A large amount of sunlight, with the majority penetrating the upper 200 meters (650 feet) of the water column

  • Epipelagic

  • Saltwater

  • No

  • Tropical rain belt?

  • The whole ecosystem would collapse because if shrimp or another primary consumer went extinct then the secondary consumers would need to find a new source or overfeed on other marine animals causing the web to collapse

  • Other animals would eat dead animals but buildup of dead plant matter would be bad.
