2. Quick Facts
Freshwater ecosystem
Contains 3 sizes of fish
It has no night time
The larger fish are at the top of the food chain,
medium fish are in the middle, smaller fish at bottom
The smallest fish is at the top of the food chain

3. Overview
In order to expand upon the weather of our Neoworld, I will first give a
short description of Atlantis itself. Atlantis is an aquatic biome in which
the only organisms there are fish (multiple kinds). These fish live in the
coral reefs. The coral acts as protection and shelter for the organisms of
Atlantis. The coral reefs are also a natural barrier between the fish and
‘harsh’ waves. The smallest fish have developed an exoskeleton helping
them get to the top of the food chain yet they live near the bottom of the
ocean. The largest fish live at the top of the ocean, closest to the sun,
giving them their large size.
The depth of the ocean where the fish live coincides with their size and
hunting abilities. So, the deeper the water, the smaller the fish are.
Although the fish are smaller towards the bottom of the ocean, they are
at the top of the food chain. Atlantis goes about 10,000 feet deep.

4. Ecosystem
Although Atlantis is located within the tropical
oceans near the equator, it is a freshwater
ecosystem. The water is fresh water instead of
saltwater. Freshwater has a low concentration of
minerals and salts. The water in Atlantis is
constantly circulating to keep it freshwater. The
organisms once were saltwater fish, but have
adapted to the freshwater over the transitional
years.

5. Vegetation
Green Seaweed / Algae : grows in soil, trees, and
on the larger fish. The middle fish feed off the
algae that grows on the larger fish.
Kelp : grows in soil up from the bottom, helps the
middle fish hide from the smaller fish.
Moss & Lily Pads : Floats on top of water, this is
the main source of food for the bigger fish
because they can access it easier.

6. Inhabitants
The fish live in the coral reefs
The depth of the ocean where the fish live coincides with
their size and hunting abilities
All the fish work together to ensure that the circle of life is
not broken. All the fish have developed their own ways of
surviving. They have all learned to co-exist with each
other. To avoid one species from becoming extinct all the
fish breed and reproduce at the same time of the year.
During this time all the fish are strictly vegetarian.

7. The main fish on Atlantis is the
smallest fish. Its name is
Grazilla popolis. It lives on the
bottom of the water. It is the
main predator of both the
medium and the large fish. It is
small like a piranha. It has the
hardest exoskeleton of all the
fish. It has a hard exterior
allows it to live in the deepest
part of the water. It has a film
that covers it eyes that helps it
see from any depth. The
digestion system of this small
fish is similar to that of a snake.
Its jaws are not connected thus
allowing it to drop its lower jaw
and consume the other fish
without having to chew it. This
fish only eats other fish and
feeds off the vegetation.

8. The next fish in Atlantis is the
medium size fish. Its name is Reno
Bon Sir. It lives on the top layer of
the water. It is a semi aggressive
fish. It does not prey on the smaller
fish and often is the food source for
them. Although it is bigger than the
Grazilla Popolis it will not eat it. It
is the only fish that has the
digestion of a normal fish. It also
feeds on the vegetation that is
present within its environment. The
Reno Bon Sir is about the same size
of a trout. It has eyes that are
located on the sides of its head to
help it be able to see from all
angles.
This fish comes in all colors. It’s
only main predator is the Grazilla
Popolis. It also feeds on the
vegetation as well as any other fish
that may die and decay in the water.

9. The last fish in the land of
Atlantis is the Grande Fizz. It
is the largest fish in the water.
It does not have a tough
exoskeleton like the Grazilla
Popolis. It lives in the middle
of the water. Even though it is
the biggest fish it is not an
aggressive fish. It only feeds
on what it can scavenge. It
does not have scales like the
other fish. It is similarly made
like the catfish. It has a
digestion system similar to
that of the elephant. The
Grande Fizz has to continually
eat in order to maintain its
weight.

10. Photosynthesis
Like plants using
photosynthesis, the fish gain
strength and nourishment from
the sunlight. Over time, the fish
have evolved. They now have
photosynthetic bacterial cells
which cause them to gain
nourishment from the ever
present sunlight of Atlantis. The
sunlight is still converted into
chemical energy.

11. Weather
The water is freshwater instead of saltwater.
Like many tropical rainforest biomes, Atlantis has
rainfall for 1/2 of the day and clear skies and
sunshine for the other 1/2 of the day.
Although half of the day has rainfall, it still remains
sunny and warm.
There is no nighttime, just daylight24 hours a day.

12. Weather (Continued)
The temperatures are always warm and the
weather is always mild.
The fish gain strength and nourishment from the
sunlight.
The rainfall cleanses the waters of Atlantis from
toxins and pollutants as well.

13. Temperature
Atlantis is located within the
Tropical Climate Zone near the
Equator. At the latitudes nearest
the Equator, temperatures are
the highest. These temperatures
are the highest because this
region experiences the
maximum solar intensity.
Temperatures do not vary too
much throughout the year. The
temperatures are always warm
and the weather is always mild.
The water temperature ranges
between 75 and 80 degrees
year-round.

14. Rainfall
Like many tropical rainforest
biomes, Atlantis has rainfall for
half of the day and clear skies
and sunshine for the other 1/2 of
the day. Although half of the day
has rainfall, it still remains sunny
and warm. The rainfall cleanses
the waters of Atlantis from toxins
and pollutants as well. There is
no nighttime, just daylight all
day.

15. Huimidity
Due to the high temperatures
and rainfall, the air surrounding
Atlantis is very humid.

16. Atmosphere & Winds
Atmosphere
The world has undergone Global
Warming, and this has affected
the hydrologic cycle, the evolution
of the organisms, and also the
climates…but the Earth’s
atmosphere has remained intact.
It is still made up of the same four
layers. These layers have
become somewhat warmer as
global warming continued for so
long.
Winds
Atlantis has global and local
winds. They are strong
enough to circulate the
earth, but calm enough to
not disturb the ecosystem

17. Waves & Tides
The hydrologic cycle has also adapted to the
change of all the earth’s water into freshwater.
There are still waves and tides, but the waves
mainly stay mild, but there are few instances of
harsher, threatening waves.

18. Ocean Currents
Global winds cause surface
currents to flow within and
around Atlantis. The currents
flow in gyres which mimic global
winds. Gyres are large circular
flow patterns. Warm waters and
temperatures are redistributed
to other parts of the world.

19. Time & Seasons
Time
While there is no nighttime
in Atlantis, there is also no
need for time. The rainfall
occurs like clockwork every
day, and does not affect the
underwater life.
Seasons
There are no obvious
seasons in Atlantis. The
temperatures and climate
stay constant year round.
The Earth still has a similar
rotation but on a different
axis. This region still
receives the maximum
sunlight and energy.
