What do you think would happen if krill were to vanish from the ecosystem?

the ecosystem will be unbalenced because the krill that blue whales used to eat will reproduce again and again and soon there will be too many of them


Where does a killer whale fit in to the ecosystem as a whole in terms of feeding relationships?

Killer whales are apex predators in the ecosystem, meaning they are at the top of the food chain. They primarily feed on marine mammals such as seals, sea lions, and occasionally other whales. Their role in controlling populations of prey species helps to maintain a healthy balance in the marine ecosystem.


Why are krill important to the antarctic ecosystem?

Krill serve as a vital food source for many species in the Antarctic ecosystem, including whales, seals, and seabirds. They help transfer energy from phytoplankton to higher trophic levels, playing a crucial role in the food web. Additionally, krill play a key role in carbon sequestration as they consume phytoplankton near the ocean's surface and transport the carbon to deeper waters when they die.


What's an example of commensalism in the ecosystem?

An example of commensalism in the marine ecosystem is that of the remora and whales. Remora attach themselves to the whales and ride and eat scraps, but the whales neither gain nor are harmed by this relationship.


What are the tertiary animals in the arctic ecosystem?

Why we shouldn't hunt?

Whales are not needed for food, only to make money for humans, and if poaching or hunting of whales is not stopped they will one day be extinct. Many do not realize that whales helps our ecosystem by reducing carbon in the atmosphere. Whales consumes large amounts of plankton and phytoplankton. Without whales, our oceans would be full of these organisms, and that would dangerously cause an imbalance in our ecosystem.

Should whales be saved?

well... it depends what you're talking about...and what perspective you are seeing it from. If your thinking that there are too many whales, wrong, there arent enough. Whales should really be saved because the ecosystem of the ocean relies on whales for many things, and for us, they are pretty to watch, so without whales, the ecosystem of the ocean would undergo many changes, and not for the better. Also, whaling is still legal in Japan, Norway, and Iceland. Which is terrible because these poor whales are getting slaughtered for no good reason! SAVE THE WHALES!
