Diatoms are primarily consumed by various types of zooplankton, such as copepods and krill, which are small aquatic organisms. These zooplankton serve as a crucial food source for larger marine animals, including fish, mollusks, and some whales. In turn, these larger consumers contribute to the marine food web, highlighting the importance of diatoms in ocean ecosystems.
