I recommend Water (first) so you do not dilute your digestive juices. Then a portion of Carbs and a portion of Protein (a portion is the size of your fist) An example of a healthy breakfast would be a small bowl of Oatmeal sprinkled with Blueberries and a couple strips of low fat bacon.

Which organisms are the primary producers in the ocean food web?
The Arctic Ocean is rich in nutrients from the surrounding landmasses, and it supports large populations of plankton which feed a rich diversity of fish in the open water and under the ice. The fish are food for ocean birds, whales and seals. Even during the summer, the Antarctic has only a few plants growing at the rocky edges of the continent. As in the Arctic, plankton nourishes large numbers of fish, whales, and birds such as penguins which can't fly.

Where is the bull sharks in the food chain?
Bull sharks have been known to kill humans, & are right up there w/ great white & tiger sharks, possibly because bull shark attacks are more easily documented than attacks by other species of similar power, like duskies, makos, & grey reef sharks. That's because bulls spend more time in fresh water, making attacks in such areas no brainers.
Bulls are NOT at the top however. I'm not sure of the source, but I read of a tiger shark w/ a bull shark in its gut, which in turn ate a blacktip, which in turn ate a dogfish.
Which raises the question.."Is the tiger the blacktip's frind? Is the bull the dogfish' friend? Who's the lonely bull's friend?" lol
