How does a beluga whale impact its ecosystem?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

since humpback whales are found in so many different areas around the world, they play a part in countless marine communities in one way or another. in general though, humpback whales usually feed on plankton, krill, small fish, stuff like that. this means that they effect those ecosystems not only to those, but also to other things that are consumers of plankton, krill, and so on. that includes sea birds, other kinds of whales, and fish. so by removing humpback whales from an ecosystem, the things they feed on would become overpopulated, making all other competitors for the plankton, krill, smaller fish, etc., eventually also overpopulated. This can be applied to about any species: by removing any consumer or producer from an ecosystem, the damage will snowball into a catastrophe for the entire ecosystem.

Asked by Wiki User

Adult blue whales have no natural predators. They are too big and too strong to be attacked and killed by any animal. However, Orca's (Killer Whales) are known to attack and kill youngsters. A group of Orca's can easily hunt a baby blue whale if its mother is not around. Otherwise, they have no natural predators.

How do beluga whales get their energy?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

They get their energy by eating. The beluga is a slow swimmer that feeds mainly on fish. It also eats cephalopods (squid and octopus) and crustaceans (crab and shrimp). Foraging on the seabed typically takes place at depths of up to 1,000 feet (300 m) but they can dive at least twice this depth. A typical feeding dive lasts 3-5 minutes, but belugas submerge for up to 20 minutes at a time

Is a beluga whale a primary consumer secondary consumer or a 3rd level consuemer?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Blue whales feed almost exclusively on krill, which are small shrimp-like crustaceans.

Krill eat phytoplankton (which are producers) - making them primary consumers.

Whale eat primary consumers, and so are secondary consumers.

(However, because they don't really have any natural predators, they could potentially be called top-level as well).
