Krill are catagorized as meat on the food chian, just like any other type of sea food. They're a good source of protien, that is if you'll eat them!
phytoplankton
If the number of phytoplankton decrease the food chain would decrease in the ocean.
Zooplankton get their food from eating phytoplankton. The phytoplankton are the base of the food chain. Zooplankton are primary consumers or the second step in the food chain.
Yes.
The first link in the ocean food chain is phytoplankton. These microscopic organisms convert sunlight into energy through photosynthesis and serve as the primary producers of the ocean ecosystem. Phytoplankton are then consumed by zooplankton, which are in turn eaten by small fish, and the food chain continues from there.
Yes,its the bottom of the food chain;producer
Depending on the food chain you look at, plankton or the sun. Phytoplankton capture the energy from sunlight through photosynthesis. The sun is the ultimate source of energy, but it is not an actual member of a food chain or web. Phytoplankton are at the beginning of the ocean food chain or web.
because it is at the bottom of the food chain

Phytoplankton or aquatic vergetation

Phytoplankton are eaten by whales and small fish, so...under small fish, I believe. :)
