This is my food web that I have researched and made myself. It contains many food chains inside itself. Five of them are:
1. Phytoplankton-Zooplankton-Manta Ray-Tiger Shark 2. Phytoplankton-Shrimp-Human 3. Coral-Parrotfish-Human 4. Coral-Crown of Thorns Sea Star-Orange lined trigger fish 5. Phytoplankton-Zooplankton-Pink anemonefish-Blue ringed octopus. An example of what would happen if one species became extinct in my food web is if coral became extinct then the Parrotfish and the Crown of Thorns Sea Star would become fewer because there would be no coral to eat. Also this would result on the Orange Lined Trigger fish becoming fewer because there would be less Crown of Thorns Sea Star's left to consume. Also if there was less Parrotfish left then humans would have less Parrotfish to consume and would eat more Shrimp. This would then break down the whole food web. |
