When over-fishing of a species in a food chain occurs, this would the species which eats the over-fished fish would reduce in numbers due to less food and species which the fish ate would increase in numbers due to less predators. This effect continues through the food chain, eg if Krill was over-fished, Whales would decrease in numbers because there are less food for them. Anything that eats whales as their main prey would also decrease in numbers due to less food. Krill eats a type of plankton. They would increase in numbers because of less predators. Plankton eat phytoplankton, since there are large numbers of plankton, the phytoplankton would decrease in numbers.
Overall, over fishing would cause the food chain/web to become unstable

What happens when people overfish?
when people over fish then we could run out of fish. IF we extinct one thing then alot of thing can go if krill go shark whales will die if certain fish die bigger fish die it is all part of the food chain.
What is fish conservation?
Fish conservation refers to the protection and preservation of fish populations and their habitats. This involves implementing strategies and measures to prevent overfishing, reduce pollution, and restore damaged ecosystems to ensure the long-term sustainability of fish populations. Conservation efforts also aim to maintain biodiversity and support ecosystems that depend on healthy fish populations.
What happens to the body of a fish when it dies?
When a fish dies, its body undergoes decomposition where bacteria and other organisms break down the tissues. This process releases nutrients back into the water and contributes to the food chain. Over time, the fish's body will be fully broken down and recycled by other organisms in the ecosystem.
Why is overfishing a problem for aquatic ecosystems?
Bad for food chain
What are the Effects of over fishing?
Overfishing can lead to the depletion of fish populations, disrupting marine ecosystems and impacting the food chain. It can also threaten the livelihoods of fishermen and communities dependent on fishing. Additionally, overfishing can result in negative economic impacts, reduced food security, and loss of biodiversity.
What would happen to the food chain if the rhino was extinct?
the ecosystem would collapse because an alligator eats fish right? so if the alligator disappeared from the ecosystem the fish would repopulate over and over and there is no predator for the fish to get eaten by and if all those fish ate the same thing (algae and other plants) there would be no algae left for them to eat and all the fish would die
What happens when you over feed aquarium fish?
it dies
Of these events in Top of the Food Chain which happens first?
Geckos die from eating poisoned flies.
What is the bottom of the food chain on land?
All living things depend on each other to live. The food chain shows how some animals eat other animals to survive. While being food for animals higher in the food chain, these animals may eat other animals or plants to survive. The food chain is a complex balance of life. If one animals source of food disappears, such as from over fishing or hunting, many other animals in the food chain are impacted and may die. Let's look at two examples of food chains, one in the water and the other on land.In the SeaAll sea creatures rely on other sea creatures for food to survive. At the bottom of the food chain are the sea plants and plankton. Many types of fish and animals such as the snail, shrimp, jellyfish, and sea star eat the plankton.The small animals and fish who eat plankton then become food for larger fish, such as the tuna and mackeral.These fish are then eaten by larger fish and animals, such as the shark and dolphin.And who eats the shark? Check out the menu at a seafood restaurant next time you are eating there. Don't be surprised if you find shark on the menu.On LandThe food chain on land is just as complex as in the sea. Small animals eat plants or bugs. Larger animals then eat them, with even larger animals eating them. Who is at the top of the food chain? That's us! We humans eat many of the plants and animals on earth. That's why we rely so heavily on all plants and animals for our existance. A break in the food chain can impact everyone.Here is a simple example of a food chain in the wild.The zebra eats grass for its food. And who eats the zebra? Larger predators like the lion eat the zebra.
What will happen in food chain There Was An Increase In The Hawk Population?
The hawk, depending on where it Is in the food chain, will decrease the amount of animals below it i.e. rabbits, squirrels, ect. and/or it will be over populating the animal above it on the food chain therefore making the food chain and way of life not balanced.
Where could someone purchase pond fish food?
You can purchase pond fish food from a Pet Store, in the fish department. It's important to ensure that the fish food is specifically for Pond Fish as this differs from food for Tank fish. You can also buy Pond fish food from online retailers however it might be difficult to get specialist advice over the internet.
How could overfishing lead to ecosystem collapse?
many mammals rely on fish for food
