Limiting Factors of this ecosystem
This ecosystems limiting factors include the temperature of the water, sunlight, the amount of nutrients, and dissolved oxygen content, which is the amount of oxygen gas dissolved in a given volume of water at a particular temperature and pressure. The salinity can also be a limiting factor in aquatic ecosystems. This is the amounts of various inorganic minerals or salts dissolved in a given volume of water.
Describing a food web in this biome
A food web in this biome would be, first off it starts with plants that don't use photosynthesis,then come plankton,then the fisheats the plankton,then the angler fish eats the fish or the fish is eaten by the jelly fish or the six gilled shark and then the decomposer breaks down whatever of the fish that is NOT eaten.
Two predator/prey relationships in the deep sea
Two predator/prey relationships in the deep sea are a Blunt nosed six-gilled shark and Large, fast moving prey species, numerous shark and ray species (especially spurdog), any bony fish ( large deep water hake are a major prey item), squid, crabs, shrimps, swordfish, cetaceans and other marine mammals.Another one is a angler fish eating a squid. Female angler fish eat small fish and shrimp May also feed on small squids, turtles, crustaceans, arrow worms and even sea birds while males, live off the females' bloodstream .
Two symbiotic relationships that are present in the deep sea
Two symbiotic relationships that are present in the deep sea are a Clownfish amid sea anemone tentacles and an Anglerfish and bioluminescent bacteria.
How do the plants and animals interact with each other
Plants and animals interact with each other because,they depend to each other .

How the weather effects the environment
The deeper you go, the more intense the pressure. At the surface, there is one atmosphere of pressure - and for every ten meters you go under water, the pressure increases by one atmosphere. When we were down in Karl’s sub at 2000 feet, the pressure was 66 times the pressure at the surface - that means that the pressure on the sub is 905 Pounds/Square Inch. Humans would be crushed at this depth (imagine what it would feel like to put a a bucket of water on your head - now picture the pressure of thousands of bucket of water pressing down on you). One way some animals have adapted to this pressure is that they have no air spaces.
