Marine food webs. Feeding relationships are often shown as simple food chains – in reality, these relationships are much more complex, and the term ‘food web’ more accurately shows the links between producers, consumers and decomposers. A food web diagram illustrates ‘what eats what’ in a particular habitat.
1 Φεβ 2019 · Made of interconnected food chains, food webs help us understand how changes to ecosystems — say, removing a top predator or adding nutrients — affect many different species, both directly and indirectly. Phytoplankton and algae form the bases of aquatic food webs.
A marine food web is a food web of marine life. At the base of the ocean food web are single-celled algae and other plant-like organisms known as phytoplankton. The second trophic level (primary consumers) is occupied by zooplankton which feed off the phytoplankton. Higher order consumers complete the web.
19 Οκτ 2023 · In an ocean ecosystem, many types of fish and turtles are herbivores that eat algae and seagrass. In kelp forests , seaweeds known as giant kelp provide shelter and food for an entire ecosystem .
19 Οκτ 2023 · Some 300,000 marine species are known to science—about 15 percent of all the species identified on the planet. But the sea is so vast that a million or more as yet unknown species may live in its waters. Most of these aquatic species are tied together through the food web. Level One: Photoautotrophs.
Learn how aquatic food webs are complex groups of organisms that perform different functions in the ecosystem. Explore how nutrient availability, biomass, and human activities shape and influence aquatic food webs.
