The ocean food chain is pretty long and it contains about 10 links. The primary consumer is the zooplankton, which is the smallest animal in the world, the size of a tiny pencil dot but still can be seen with a naked eye and the apex predator is the whale, which is the novenary consumer. The blue whale is the biggest animal in the world and most scientists estimated that about quintillions of zooplanktons can make up the blue whale size.

The whales usually eat sharks as their normal food diet. The whale is the ocean's apex predator, not the shark.
