The Aquatic Ecosystem is a game-changer in the field of aquariums. Aquatic ecosystems manage water quality and deliver a healthy, clean environment for fish to thrive. This product is at an early stage of its development and has a unique value proposition.

2. According to the concept of an aquatic ecosystem, it is a water-based habitat
in which living species interact with both physical and chemical characteristics
of the environment.
Aquatic organisms are living species that rely on water for their food, shelter,
reproduction, and other critical functions.
Examples:-
• Lakes
• Seas
• Ponds
• Rivers
• Marshes
• Coral reefs
• Wetlands

• Marine Ecosystems
• Freshwater Ecosystems

4. MARINE WATER ECOSYSTEM
• This is the world's biggest aquatic environment, covering more than 70%
of the planet's entire area. In terms of salinity, this habitat is considerably
more concentrated.
• Nonetheless, aquatic species' bodies are well-adapted to salty water, and
they may struggle to thrive in freshwater. The marine ecosystem is made up
of the following categories.

5. CATEGORIES
• Ocean Ecosystem
• Estuaries
• Coral Reefs
• Coastal Ecosystem

6. FRESHWATER ECOSYSTEM
This aquatic habitat comprises less than 1% of the earth's surface and is
classified into three types: wetlands, lentic, and lotic ecosystems.

8. FEATURES OF AQUATIC
ECOSYSTEM
We can highlight the following characteristics and aspects of aquatic
ecosystems:
• They can be created from freshwater or saltwater.
• They provide as a home for a variety of aquatic species.
• The bulk of the vegetation is made up of algae and corals.
• They have a high degree of biological variety, making them the most
productive and wealthy ecosystems on the planet.
• They perform critical functions in the planet's existence, including as
regulating the hydrological cycle and functioning as a pollution filter.

9. FUNCTIONS OF AQUATIC
ECOSYSTEM
These indicators emphasise the significance of the aquatic ecosystem -
• Promotes nutrient recycling.
• Aids in water purification.
• It replenishes groundwater.
• Provides a home for aquatic vegetation and fauna.
• Flooding is reduced.
