Answer:

Carrying capacity of ocean is the maximum number of marine individual in a given ocean area at a given time.

Step-by-step explanation:

The carrying capacity is the maximum number of individuals present in a given area. This habitat also supports individuals to sustain a healthy population. The habitat may be terrestrial, desert, aquatic or ocean ecosystem. If the number of individual cross the limit, it disrupts the carrying capacity. For example, if the food source is scanty or eaten by a single species, it will affect the other species. The overcrowded population also affects the carrying capacity.
