What type of aquatic life zones are in Mali?
914328
Mali is a landlocked nation with the Niger River running through it - The Niger River is in seriously bad condition due to climate, over-population, pollutants, silt, and water hyacinth (an aquatic weed).  Problems arise when Mali does get it's small amount of rainfall as the people are then threatened by water-born diseases such as cholera.  The river is diminshing rapidly and the water is unsafe to drink

Any biological species or group of species whose function, population, or status can be used to determine ecosystem level or environmental integrity. An example of such a group of organisms is copepods and other small water crustaceans present in many water bodies.\n\nCopepods are a group of small crustaceans found in the sea and nearly every freshwater habitat. Many species are planktonic, but more are benthic, and some continental species may live in limno-terrestrial habitats and other wet terrestrial places, such as swamps, under leaf fall in wet forests, bogs, springs, ephemeral ponds and puddles, damp moss, or water-filled recesses (phytothelmata) of plants such as bromeliads and pitcher plants. Many live underground in marine and freshwater caves, sinkholes, or stream beds. Some copepods are parasitic and attach themselves to fish, sharks, marine mammals, and many kinds of invertebrates such as molluscs, tunicates, or corals.\n\nCopepods form a subclass belonging to the subphylum Crustacea (crustaceans). Some authors consider the copepods to be a full class. The group contains ten orders with some 14,000 described species. A scientist that studies copepods is a copepodologist.\n\nCopepods are very important food organisms for small fish, whales, and other crustaceans such as krill in the ocean and in fresh water. They are typically 1-2 mm long. They feed directly on phytoplankton, catching cells singly. Some scientists say they form the largest animal biomass on earth. They compete for this title with Antarctic krill (Euphausia superba).\n\nCopepods are sometimes found in the public mains water supply, especially systems where the water is not filtered, such as New York City and Boston, Massachusetts. This is not usually a problem in treated water supplies. In some tropical countries, such as Peru and Bangladesh, a correlation has been found between copepods and cholera in untreated water, because the cholera bacteria attach to the surfaces of planktonic animals. The risk of cholera from infected water can be reduced by filtering out the copepods (and other matter), for example with a cloth filter.\n\nMany species have neurons surrounded by myelin, which is very rare among invertebrates (other examples are some annelids and malacostracan crustaceans like palaemonid shrimp and penaeids). Even rarer is the fact that the myelin is highly organized, resembling the well-organized wrapping found in vertebrates (Gnathostomata).\n\nSome copepods are very evasive and can jump with extreme speed over a few millimeters (warning: takes some time to load to the correct speed):\n\n \nSlow-motion macrophotography video (50%) of juvenile Atlantic herring (38 mm) feeding on copepods - the fish approach from below and catch each copepod individually. In the middle of the image a copepod escapes successfully to the left.This scene was scanned with the ecoSCOPE, an underwater high speed microscope. Because clupeids (herrings) and copepods are both significant in terms of global biomass, this is the first record of what is one of the largest carbon flows of any animal food-chain transition in the oceans. It is a predator / prey relationship running at extreme speeds, with chances for both sides. Very little is known about the details, in spite of its importance for global processes, because copepods are difficult to keep in the laboratory and lose most of their escape capacity, and herring are very fast, alert and evasive organisms and flee normal camera systems or SCUBA divers. Oceanographers point out the importance of learning more about the influences of physical parameters, such as light, pollution or temperature, or the effects of hunting in a swarm. This copepod-herring relationship has implications for the fate of carbon in marine systems. If the copepod 'wins' (escapes), much carbon will sink with its fecal pellets into the depth of the oceans (see biological pump), sequestering carbon dioxide in the benthos. If the herring

Plankton are drifting organisms that inhabit the water column of oceans, seas, and bodies of fresh water.\n\nAmoeba itself is found in freshwater, typically on decaying vegetation from streams, but is not especially common in nature. However, because of the ease with which they may be obtained and kept in the lab, they are common objects of study, both as representative protozoa and to demonstrate cell structure and function. The cells have several lobose pseudopods, with one large tubular pseudopod at the anterior and several secondary ones branching to the sides. The most famous species, A. proteus, is 700-800 μm in length, but many others are much smaller. Each has a single nucleus, and a simple contractile vacuole which maintains its osmotic pressure, as its most recognizable features.

Rotifers   are the only I can think of  now if it were Phylum Mollusca it could be Snails, Clams, and squids\n                                 good luck

The oceans are divided into two main zones: the pelagic and the benthic zones. The pelagic, the uppermost zone, is further divided into the euphotic or sunlit zone up to 660 feet, the dysphotic or twilight zone up to 3,300 feet, and the aphotic or midnight zone up to 20,000 feet.

If i have read it right..the 8 Gabon lakes are:Lac Abooue. Lac Digoungou. Lac Esseb. Lac Mafoumi.Lac Mandje. Lac Ogemoue. Lac Ogognie and Lac Zile. if you go onto www.indexmundi.com/zl/gb/ you will get more info including looking  at the map showing you where the lakes are actually situated in Gabon, i hope this helps you.

They live near streams and rivers, so they live mostly on fish and crayfish.

i found the answer now....\nLAKE TANGANYIKA\n\nDescription:\n\n Lake Tanganyika is home to more than 2,000 plant and animal species, and is one of the richest freshwater ecosystems in the world. About 600 of these species exist nowhere else in the world outside the Lake Tanganyika watershed. \nTanganyika is the third largest lake in the world by volume, exceeded only by the Caspian and Baikal. Tanganyika is also one of less than 20 ancient lakes on earth. Lake Tanganyika is the second largest lake in Africa. Although it is less than half the size of Lake Victoria, it drains an area approximately the same size (200,000 km2). \n\nMuch of the lake's coastline is high escarpment, falling directly into the lake.
