In a food web, sharks serve as apex predators, playing a crucial role in maintaining the balance of marine ecosystems by controlling the populations of their prey, such as smaller fish and cephalopods. Squid, on the other hand, are both predators and prey; they feed on smaller fish and crustaceans while also being a vital food source for larger predators, including sharks. This dynamic interaction highlights the interconnectedness of species within marine food webs.
