If a second-order consumer, such as a small shark or a larger fish, was introduced into an ocean ecosystem, it would likely impact the population dynamics of lower trophic levels, including primary consumers like smaller fish and zooplankton. The introduction could lead to increased predation pressure, potentially reducing the populations of these primary consumers, which might allow phytoplankton and other primary producers to flourish due to decreased grazing. This shift could affect nutrient cycling and the overall health of the ecosystem, potentially leading to imbalances if the new consumer does not have natural predators or if it competes with existing species for food.

What will happen if a second bulb is added to a parallel circuit?
