Fish in the ocean eat algae, sea grasses, and mangroves. Those are all producers
A producer in the ocean food chain or food web is mainly phytoplanktons which are algae. The phytoplankton can be found in shallow waters and some are floating plants. They are the major source of energy in the food chain through the process of photosynthesis.
There are many plants found in the ocean. Some of these plants include kelp, seagrass, red algae, coralline algae, and coral.
There are two- algae and phytoplankton. These are small plants and animals in the ocean.
Because algae is so numerous in the ocean
The availability of sunlight is a major factor that limits where algae can be found in the open ocean. Algae rely on sunlight for photosynthesis, so they are usually found in the upper layers of the water column where light can penetrate. Nutrient levels and water temperature also play a role in determining the distribution of algae in the open ocean.
