Artic Ecosystem
Artic Food Web
The Producer in my Food Web is of course the sun. The primary consumer in my web is plankton. The primary consumers are the jellyfish and the krill. The secondary consumers are the seal ,fish , and penguin. The tertiary consumer is the whale.
Krill and Plankton
Since the krill has only one source of food(plankton) it depends on the plankton to survive. without the plankton it would die.
Fish and krill
Since the fishes only food supply ( as far as i know ) is krill if the krill were to die then so would the fids since they have no other food source
Jellyfish and plankton
Just like the krill , the jellyfish only eat plankton and therefor if the plankton were to die it would affect the jellyfish
How are humans affecting the Artic Ocean
Humans are affecting the artic ocean by causing global warming. Global warming heats up the artic and makes it to hot for some of the animals to live in,Causing them to either die off or to have to elsewhere
Humans are also doing good things for the oceans by leaving things such as boats in the ocean to create reefs where reefs don't thrive as well
Plankton
I think the plankton has the biggest part in my food web. Without it the jellyfish and krill would die causing the entire ecosystem to collapse. The plankton is the producer in my Food web.
Penguin
If the penguin were to die off one day, then that would mean the whales would have one less snack to eat causing the whale to eat more of the seal leading a decrease in seal population. The penguin is a secondary consumer.
Fish
If the fish were to die out it would kill the penguins source of food so that now both the penguin and the fish are dead. Thus leaving the seal with only one source of food krill. The fish is a secondary consumer.
