Review detailed descriptions and scientific information about each species. These models help you visualize and better understand polar animals and plants, and encourage the use of emerging technologies like 3D printing in the school environment.
Scientific name
Isotelia antarctica.
Common name
Sea Anemone
Size
It is one of the largest anemones in Antarctica, reaching around 25 cm in height.
Weight
No information.
Habitat
They are only present in the Southern Ocean, Southwest Atlantic and Southeast Pacific, from 25 to 420 meters deep (FAO). They live in marine environments with moderate currents, where they can capture suspended food.
Feeding
It is a carnivorous predator, feeding on small marine organisms, such as zooplankton, small crustaceans and fish larvae.
Reproduction
Reproduction can occur sexually or asexually.
In sexual reproduction, gametes are released into the water, where external fertilization occurs, giving rise to planktonic larvae that eventually attach themselves to the substrate.
It can also reproduce asexually, by longitudinal fission or budding, increasing its local population.
Conservation status
Least concern.
