The document describes the different aquatic biomes of the Earth. It provides a table that lists 5 aquatic biomes - rivers and streams, lakes and ponds, wetlands, oceans, and estuaries. For each biome, it gives the general description, typical temperature range, common plant life, and animal species found. The biomes cover a variety of bodies of inland and coastal water across the planet and each supports unique ecosystems.
