Whelks are not considered producers; they are carnivorous marine snails that primarily feed on other organisms, such as bivalves and crustaceans. In ecological terms, producers are typically plants and phytoplankton that create energy through photosynthesis. Whelks play a role as consumers in their ecosystem, contributing to the food web by preying on other species.

Did the whelk make the shells?
No, whelks do not make shells; rather, they create their shells as they grow. The shell is actually a part of the whelk's body, formed by secretions from a gland in the mantle. As the whelk ages, it adds new layers to its shell, allowing it to grow larger. The shell serves as protection and plays a role in the whelk's overall biology.
