The Marine Food Web

- Mammals: Omnivores + Consumers
- Bigger Fish: Omnivores + Consumers
- Small Fish: Omnivores + Consumers
- Zooplankton: Omnivores/Herbavores + Consumers
- Phytoplankton: Producers
The phytoplankton produce their own food through a mix of sunlight,
absorbing nutrients around them, and taking in oxygen and/or carbon
dioxide. These phytoplankton serve as the food for the zooplankton,
slightly more evolved forms of plankton. These zooplankton get eaten
by small fish, which get eaten by larger fish, which get eaten by
mammals. However, one species in particular - the whale - also feeds
on plankton through comb-like teeth in it's mouth (to filter out the
plankton with the water that it catches). So it is safe to say that an
organism is not limited to the class under it.
