Oceans of life. Marine biology

Description

Exceptionally filmed and presented, this program clearly shows just how interconnected every link is on the marine food chain, from microscopic algae, known as phytoplankton, to the blue whale, the largest organism to ever live on earth. The polar, temperate, and tropical zones are explored in a systematic way by looking at the major classifications of oceanic creatures: plankton, nekton, and benthos. Thermoclines and the photic zone are also discussed in this context. Awe-inspiring underwater photography and animated graphics make this program a great classroom asset.
