No, whelks do not have a backbone. They are mollusks, which means they belong to a class of invertebrates that lack a spinal column. Instead, whelks have a hard shell that protects their soft body.
yes as whelks are not a plant they are therefore consumers :-)
Small fish generally do not eat whelks, as whelks are marine snails with hard shells that are difficult for fish to consume. However, some predatory fish may prey on juvenile whelks or their eggs. In contrast, small fish typically feed on plankton, smaller invertebrates, or plant material rather than larger, shelled organisms like whelks.

Whelks are univalve mollusks, meaning they have a single shell. They belong to the class Gastropoda, which includes snails and slugs. In contrast, bivalves, such as clams and oysters, have two shells. Whelks are typically found in marine environments and are known for their spiral-shaped shells.
