Example of an aquatic food web
Summary[edit]
| Description |
English: Example of an aquatic food web Bacteria can be seen in the red box at the bottom. Bacteria (and other decomposers, like worms) decompose and recycle nutrients back to the habitat, which is shown by the light blue arrows. Without bacteria, the rest of the food web would starve, because there would not be enough nutrients for the animals higher up in the food web. The dark orange arrows show how some animals consume others in the food web. For example, lobsters may be eaten by humans. The dark blue arrows represent one complete food chain, beginning with the consumption of algae by the “water flea” Daphnia, which is consumed by a small fish, which is consumed by a larger fish, which is at the end consumed by the Great blue heron. |
