Aquatic Animals

Isla is located in the life zone, average distance from the sun is 150 million km, which allows it to be energized by the sun without being destroyed by its tremendous heat. Within this life zone both unicellular organisms, bacteria, and multicellular organisms, Otobians, thrive and flourish as evidenced by the abundance of aquatic life in Isla's ocean. The ocean is warm and one finds all shapes, sizes, and colors of marine life existing interdependently. 85% of Isla is covered by water while 15% is covered by land, Praxia.

Despite the increase in rainfall and subsequent increase in salt and minerals flowing into the ocean, Isla's aquatic animals remain unchanged; however, we do believe that the increase in minerals in the ocean will cause future structural changes in marine life.

Our research concentrates on these marine animals:

Otobians	Puffweasel	Dunkleosteus	Lion Fish

Currently, Isla's marine food chain is balanced and larger fish eat smaller ones to supply their energy needs. Parasites in plankton kill three fish in our food chain: Otobians, Lion Fish, and Dunkleosteus. Otobians eat plankton and have no known predators. Both Otobians and Dunkleosteus have no known predators but parasites in plankton prevent over population in these mammals. Dunkleosteus consumes Puffweasel and the Lion Fish. Puffweasel consumes the Lion Fish while the Lion Fish consumes plankton. There's a balance in the marine population on Isla.
