Description The influences of solar radiation and several components of the climate in an environment on the
energy budgets in marine organisms are important in evaluating the biological productivity in aquatic systems.
The flow of energy within the ecosystem is chiefly regulated at the level of primary and secondary production
and the success of a biologically active marine ecosystem is defined by the richness of its community of
primary and secondary producers. Temperature is perhaps the most important limiting factor determining
the growth and biological activity of marine flora and fauna. The general processes in the ecosystem at a
natural temperature may be obtained only if the temperature dependence of organisms is known. A few
vantage groups of native flora and fauna, which can possibly be indicators of climate change, are usually
selected for laboratory-based studies to demonstrate the effects of climate change on the organisms and the
ecosystem.
