SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on constructing a food web involving various marine and avian species, specifically Dolphins, Bacteria, Mullets, Pelicans, and Eagles. The user has successfully placed several organisms in the food web, including Bacteria, Phytoplankton, Shrimp, Copepods, Right Whale, Dolphin, Jack, and Shad. They seek confirmation on the placement of Eagles, Pelicans, and Mullets within the web and inquire about the dietary habits of these species, particularly regarding their interactions with Shrimp and the three fish mentioned.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of marine ecosystems and food web dynamics
  • Knowledge of species interactions, particularly predator-prey relationships
  • Familiarity with specific species: Eagles, Pelicans, Mullets, and their diets
  • Basic ecological concepts such as producers, consumers, and decomposers
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the dietary habits of Eagles and Pelicans in coastal ecosystems
  • Explore the role of Copepods in marine food webs
  • Investigate the ecological significance of Mullets and their feeding behavior
  • Study the interactions between different trophic levels in marine environments
USEFUL FOR

Ecologists, marine biologists, students studying food webs, and anyone interested in understanding the interactions between marine and avian species in ecosystems.

I have to create a Food Web but I need a bit of help...

Dolphin
Bacteria
Mullet
Pelican
Right Whale
Shad
Jack
Shrimp
Phytoplankton
Eagle
Copepods

I've placed the following already:

Bacteria
Phytoplankton
Shrimp
Copepods
Right Whale
Dolphin
Jack
Shad

I have an idea of where the remaining three fit but I wanted to check my answers...I'll put what I have down by posting the starting point then working my way out. It'll save time. ^_^

bacteria > copepods > shad > dolphin
bacteria > copepods > right whale
bacteria > copepods > jack > dolphin
phytoplankton > copepods > shad > dolphin
phytoplankton > copepods > right whale
phytoplankton > copepods > jack > dolphin
phytoplankton > shrimp

Now, I'll attempt to guess my way through some of the remaining ones so just ignore the dumb guesses/questions.:-p

Do eagles eat shrimp? What about the three fish listed? (Shad, Jack, and Mullets)
Do Pelicans eat all three of the fish listed? What about Shrimp?:smile:
Do Mullets eat copepods like the other two fish?

Do I have the other chains right? ^_^
