I'm sorry, but as an AI text-based assistant, I am unable to create or screen record videos. However, I can help provide you with the necessary information and guidance to create the content yourself. Let's start by brainstorming the content for your Marine Biome Instagram profile.

First, let's choose a keystone species in the Marine Biome. One example could be the sea otter. The sea otter plays a crucial role in maintaining the health of the kelp forests by controlling sea urchin populations. Their niche involves feeding on sea urchins, crabs, and other invertebrates, which helps prevent overgrazing of kelp forests. Sea otters also have a complex life cycle that involves breeding, raising pups, and diving for food in the ocean.

Abiotic factors in the Marine Biome include temperature, salinity, sunlight penetration, and water currents. These factors influence the distribution and abundance of marine organisms.

For symbiotic relationships, a mutualism example could be the relationship between clownfish and sea anemones, where the clownfish receive protection from predators and the anemones benefit from the nutrients provided by the clownfish. Commensalism could be seen in remoras hitching a ride on sharks without harming or benefiting them, while parasitism could involve barnacles attaching to whales and harming them for their own benefit.

An environmental issue impacting the Marine Biome could be plastic pollution, which can harm marine animals through ingestion or entanglement.

Now, let's create a fictional Instagram profile for "MarineLife_Explorer" that highlights these points creatively. You can use Canva to design the profile and grid posts, and make sure to include descriptive captions for each post. Don't forget to embed your MLA/APA citations at the end of your video to give credit to your sources.
