Cendo Prae's aquatic biomes have fared much better. Although some species have suffered from excess harvesting, the extreme depths of Catulla's oceans (which in many cases have yet to be explored, although they have been roughly scanned from orbit) have protected hundreds of others. As a result, for most Catullans, the idea of wild and dangerous fauna is linked with large predator fish and amphibious or marine mammals, rather than terrestrial species. Cendo Prae has a surprisingly low population of reptiles and birds; many of the ecological niches normally occupied by those phyla have been taken over by mammals instead.<br> | Cendo Prae's aquatic biomes have fared much better.

With the advent of planetary weather control satellites, storms are permitted to occur only when climatologists and ecobiologists can come to some agreement with civic authorities about scheduled disruptions in daily life. Until weather control was achieved, however, storms at sea continued to be a significant threat to Catullan life and property-- especially since so little inhabitable land existed much above sea level.<br> | |||
