What is the sea food chain?

In oceans, as on land, there is a natural interconnection of creatures that forms a kind of food chain. Diatoms are microscopic plants that make their own food from sunlight. Zooplankton are tiny sea animals, such as krill, copepods, medusa jellyfish, and crab larvae. Small fish might include mackerel, herring, and basking sharks, as well as crustaceans (crab, shrimp, lobster), mollusks (clams, scallops) and squid. Large fish might include swordfish, tuna, octopus, and shark. Killer whales eat other whales and seals, as well as fish. === === === === === ===

How does red tide affect your food supply?

If you live in the United States, unless the majority of your protein is fish you've caught yourself, a red tide will not affect your food supply. Most American grocers purchase fish farmed in foreign countries. A red tide will kill a lot of local fish, and they wash up on shore -- pretty unpleasant. The algae that cause a red tide can, in great numbers, bother you if you're asthmatic. That's the extent of the damage, as far as those of us above the water are concerned.

As energy moves from one thing to another in a food chain what happens to the energy?

The about of energy passed to the next level is 10%. If the first level uses sunlight, it will use 90% for growth and reproduction. That means that 10% can be passed on. The second level also needs to grow and reproduce. So it will use 90% of that 10% leaving only 10% of 10% to pass to the third level. This is why there is usually only 3 levels in an ecosystem. The numbers of organisms reflect this. The numbers become fewer and fewer.

Where is a platypus in a food web?

Platypuses, especially small ones, can be eaten by a variety of predators including spotted-tailed quoll, dingo, feral cat, goannas, water rats, owls and pythons. The platypus is midway in the food chain. Whilst there are other animals that prey upon this creature the platypus, in turn, is carnivorous and preys on small crustaceans, larvae and fish that live underwater.

Within its niche in creeks and rivers, the platypus is the top predator; below it are the shrimp and small crustaceans upon which it feeds; they, in turn, feed on zooplankton, which feed on phytoplankton.

Platypuses are also occasionally taken on worm-baited fishing lines and become entangled in discarded mesh and nylon. See the Related Link.
