TWO TYPES OF FRESHWATER BIOMES
1.running water biomes - continuously flowing water examples: streams and rivers
2.standing water biomes - not flowing (steady) water - the organisms in these biomes live in the different parts of the water - most of themare found on the edges and shallow portions of the water examples: lakes and ponds

The SALTWATER BIOMES includesthe vast seas and oceans. The
earth’s largest biomes which covers about 75% of the earth’s surface.

ESTUARY- Mixture of fresh water and salt water.
- The most productive water biomes because it is very rich in nutrients.- It is a good hatching and developing ground for many kinds of fish.

Freshwater - lakes, ponds, rivers, streams
Marine - oceans Saltwater
