Match each description with the correct aquatic ecosystem.

Premises:
primary producers are chemosynthetic bacteria and archaea
main producers are dinoflagellates
when newly formed, it is deep, clear, few nutrients, and low primary productivity
mixed salt and fresh water; high primary productivity
area of greatest species richness
organisms are adapted to the mechanical force of the waves and to tidal changes
the type of rock present, its depth, and temperature affect species composition along its length
Responses:
estuary
streams
ocean shores
lakes
coral reefs
open ocean
hydrothermal vents
