Question

1)      Compare the seasonal primary productivity maps with the information you have about each cetacean 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.

Name of Species 1:

Seasonal Migration Adaptation:

Describe the relationship of this migration pattern to the global primary productivity maps:

Name of Species 2:

Seasonal Migration Adaptation:

Describe the relationship of this migration pattern to the global primary productivity maps:

Name of Species 3:

Seasonal Migration Adaptation:

Describe the relationship of this migration pattern to the global primary productivity maps:

Name of Species 1:

Seasonal Migration Adaptation:

Describe the relationship of this migration pattern to the global primary productivity maps:

Name of Species 2:

Seasonal Migration Adaptation:

Describe the relationship of this migration pattern to the global primary productivity maps:

Name of Species 3:

Seasonal Migration Adaptation:

Describe the relationship of this migration pattern to the global primary productivity maps:

Explanation / Answer

Yes, Cetaceans species mentioned below are related. They live in sea water. They are mammals.

Name of Species 1:

Dolphins

Seasonal Migration Adaptation:

Coloration is one adoption in Dolphins to escape from predators. Sonic signals help them to travel.

Describe the relationship of this migration pattern to the global primary productivity maps:

They live in temperature waters to tropical water of Pacific and Atlantic oceans. Their limits are cold waters of Arctic and Antarctic oceans

Name of Species 2:

Porpoises

Seasonal Migration Adaptation:

They are smaller in size than other cetacean species, live in shallow water to escape from predators. They have shorter, stockier build thicker at the centre and tapering towards flukes

Describe the relationship of this migration pattern to the global primary productivity maps:

They prefer cool waters mostly their habitats situated in Northern hemispheres along the cold coastal regions Canada, USA, Europe and Asia

Name of Species 3:

Whales

Seasonal Migration Adaptation:

They adapted suitable to ocean life by thick layers of blubber, modified lungs, better hearing and large arteries.

Describe the relationship of this migration pattern to the global primary productivity maps:

Whales found in all oceans. For breeding they migrate to cold waters and go to warmer waters for giving birth. They migrate to more than 5000 km
