Is the spinosaurus capable of taking down a large herbivore?
Spinosaurus was mainly piscivorous, as you probably know, but fish were certainly not the only food source for Spinosaurus. It was probably capable of taking down small-medium sized prey like the Iguanodont, Ouranosaurus. However, larger animals like Paralititan or Aegyptosaurus, were probably too large for Spinosaurus too take down. Even Carcharodontosaurus, which was specifically adapted for taking down large sauropods, would need help from several other members of the same species. When hunting other dinosaurs, Spinosaurus may have grappled the prey with it's huge arms then bit into the prey and thrashed it's head back and forth, using it's long neck.

What is a piscine animal?
Piscivorous mammals are mammals which primarily eat fish. They are not clearly defined by morphological features, but more often share similar tooth structure. These teeth are strongly recurved towards the back of the throat, to prevent fish from escaping. Some marine mammals have piscivorous teeth (such as the seal and some sea lions). Other marine mammals such as dolphins and porpoises have homodont teeth. These are comprised of many identical peg-like structures.
What are other meanings of the word fish?

What is a Pteranodons habitat?
Pteranodon lived on the coast of the Western Interior Seaway. The Western Interior Seaway was a subtropical, shallow sea that stretched from what is now the Gulf of Mexico to Hudson Bay, splitting North America in half. Pteranodon were piscivorous, or fish eating, and would have depended on the abundant waters of the shallow sea for food.

What kind of environment did the Spinosaurus dinosaur live in?
Spinosaurus lived in North Africa from Morocco to Egypt between 112 and 97 million years ago. The climate there was tropical, and the landscape was a coastal tidal plain with mangrove swamps. Spinosaurus was adapted for a piscivorous, or fish eating, lifestyle because of its long, narrow jaws filled with narrow, interlocking teeth.
What trophic level is a human who eats the Moray Eel?
Human trophic level varies. If the individual in question ate only moray eels (who are independently about a trophic level of 4, on account of being mostly piscivorous) then I imagine the human would be at a similar level. If the eel made up a part of an otherwise omnivorous diet, then I expect the person's trophic level to be closer to 2.5-3.0
