Thank you! I have to make a marine food web! And here are the animals that they gave me to work with!

OpenStudy (shrutipande9):

OpenStudy (shrutipande9):

basically any food chain goes like this..phytoplanktons-zooplanktons-crustaceans-small fish-big fish-maybe sharks etc

My back space button won't work! :\

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So what would be the order in this food web?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I think that the Dolphin and the whale are going to be last.

OpenStudy (shrutipande9):

ok...now tell me what all did u come up wid...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I think maybe copods-> bacteria-> phytoplankton->shrimp->

OpenStudy (shrutipande9):

no copods are crustaceans...bacteria cannot eat them....copods feed on phytoplanktons..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So, bacteria-> phytoplankton-> copods-> shrimp->

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Then mullet-> jack-> shad-> pelacon-> eagle

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and then i'm lost!

OpenStudy (shrutipande9):

ok wait i m just orking out..give me a min

OpenStudy (anonymous):

k

OpenStudy (shrutipande9):

|dw:1395232696880:dw| i think it is this..but i m a little confused at the lower trophic level

OpenStudy (shrutipande9):

bacteria and phyto produce their own food so they do not eat...so they r producers..crustaceaans like copods and shrimp feed on these 2..small fish also feed on them

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thank you so much! Your a life savor! Lol.

OpenStudy (shrutipande9):

lol..\(\large\ddot \smile\) but just google the food of lower animals...
