L'estran constitue une transition entre le milieu marin aquatique et le milieu terrestre aérien. [...] L'estran est une zone de transition qui pouvait être conquise par des organismes terrestres comme par des organismes aquatiques. Or dans la conquête de cet espace, c'est plutôt le monde marin qui l'a emporté. À part quelques insectes, un pseudo scorpion et un mille patte, on y trouve en effet essentiellement des organismes marins. Pour exploiter cette zone, il y a deux stratégies dominantes : suivre le mouvement de l'eau et se retirer avec le jusant ou bien s’accommoder de passer une partie plus ou moins longue de son temps émergé. Les poissons ont choisi en général la première solution. Les organismes fixés, comme les algues, ou peu mobiles, comme les mollusques, ont opté pour la deuxième. Il existe aussi des stratégies intermédiaires comme la survie dans des flaques suspendues. 3, record 2, French, - organismes%20fix%C3%A9s
