Is a person at the top of the foodchain?
Yes the human is at the top of the food chain. However this is when we are in our own element. Once we enter into the ocean as a swimmer then we become a lower part of another animals food chain. The same is true when we are in the wilderness without any weapons except that we (some) have a better ability to reason and can fashion weapons to keep us from the bottom of the wild food chain. My friend won't swim in the ocean because he says that he is no longer at the top of the food chain once he enters the water. This sounds right to me.

What producers live in Antarctica?
There are no producers in any food chain on the Antarctic continent, because it's too cold there for any food chain to grow.However, the Southern Ocean that surrounds the continent is the most productive food chain on earth in terms of the amount of protein produced there. The base of that productive, sea food chain is the Antarctic Krill -- Euphausia superba.The main producer in Antarctica is phytoplankton

If the number of phytoplankton decrease what happen to the food chain in the ocean?
If the number of phytoplankton decrease the food chain would decrease in the ocean.
What would happen if Krill disappeared in Antarctic?
Then alot of animals would be hungryAnother AnswerAntarctic Krill form the base of the food chain in the Southern Ocean. Without them, the animals in that food chain would be forced into warmer water for food, where they may not survive, based on their invasion of a different food chain.
