The ocean is one of the largest and most extensive ecosystems on Earth, home to many species of vertebrates. Here are some common marine vertebrates:


1. Fish: shark, swordfish, tuna, cod, flounder, bass, etc.


2. Dolphins and cetaceans: killer whales, blue whales, sperm whales, white-tip dolphins, etc.


3. Turtles: green turtle, hawksbill turtle, leather turtle, etc.


4. Seabirds: albatrosses, penguins, petrels, sea eagles, etc.


5. Sea snakes: Many types of venomous snakes are distributed in the ocean, such as coral snakes, sea vipers, sea vipers, etc.


6. Manatee: The manatee is an endangered mammal found in the coastal waters of the Indian and Western Pacific Oceans.


These marine vertebrates play important roles in the ocean. Some are predators, some are prey, some are scavengers, and some are important components of the marine ecosystem. It should be noted that marine ecosystems face many threats, including overfishing, marine pollution, climate change, etc. We should take measures to protect the marine ecological environment and the biodiversity within it.
