Detailed explanation-1: -Answer and Explanation: There are two major types of aquatic biome: freshwater and marine. Within these two broad groups, there are many specific types of ecosystems. For example, freshwater biomes can be lakes, rivers, ponds and wetlands.

Detailed explanation-2: -More than 90 percent of the world’s coral reefs occur in the Indo-West Pacific biogeographic region. Reef systems also can be found in the West Atlantic, East Atlantic, and East Pacific oceans between 30° N and 30° S. Most reef species are endemic to the region in which they are found.

Detailed explanation-3: -Like ponds and lakes, the ocean regions are separated into separate zones: intertidal, pelagic, abyssal, and benthic. All four zones have a great diversity of species. Some say that the ocean contains the richest diversity of species even though it contains fewer species than there are on land.

Detailed explanation-4: -What are some examples of aquatic biome? Some aquatic biomes are coral reefs, estuaries, marine and freshwater biomes. These biomes are influenced by salt level, oxygen level, and nutrient availability, including the amount of sunlight needed for photosynthesis.
