Symbiotic relationships
comensalism
The barnacle gets free food and a free ride and the whale is not harmed by the barnacle but does not benefit ether from the relationship. Therefore the relationship between the Grey Whale and the barnacle is a perfect example of commensalism
Mutualism
Algae and Box Jellyfish have a Mutual relationship. That's because the algae, when it's morning, and the sun is out, the ox jellyfish rises to the surface so the algae are able to produce sugar to give to the box jellyfish. And the box jellyfish protects the algae. Therefore, they both benefit each other and have a mutual relationship. It also has a mutual relationship because, the algae lives in its stomach and that's what gives algae its color.
Parasitism
Barnacles tends to attach themselves to the fins and shells of ocean turtles. They don't usually cause harm, except for the ones that burrow their way into their skin . Leeches also tend to attach themselves to turtles, wether for a ride or for food.
Ocean food web
My food web includes 3 symbiotic relationships of the ocean, my primary consumer is a turtle with a parasitism symbiotic relationship, a killer whale as a tertiary consumer and has a commensalism symbiotic relationship, ocean jelly fish as another primary consumer and has a mutualism symbiotic relationship. My producer is sea weed which gets its energy from the sun ( the beginning of my food web).
Human impacts on this environment and food web
Humans can impact this environment in many ways wether with pollution or sea fishing for jelly fish and regular fish. This could change the food web, making animals compete with humans for food. And as to polluting the ocean, we can destroy environments by making the fish sick and taking away other consumers food sources.
