First there’s Phytoplankton at the main base of the food chain living in a freshwater basin, ocean or sea. If you hoping to see it you won’t be. This algae is microscopic floating on slow speed. Usually on the surface, it purposely submerges working with the sun photosynthesizing it’s nourishment. There’s a balance that needs to happen. It’s toxic when there’s too much but it generates half of the earths oxygen.
So it gets 8.

Next there’s Zooplankton. The second step contains jellyfish, krill and crustaceans. Jellyfish feed is larvae, krill is whale bait and everybody’s eating shrimps where the bars be.It’s hardly a secret as carbon dioxide rises, ph levels dive and make water less alkaline, there’s a climb in acidity. These creatures help with controlling the activity critically and they get 8.

By the next predator. Level 3 is carnivores. Little fish and squid but the herbivores are a smaller source. There’s always a meaner fish. Scavengers will clean the floors from the deepest places to beaches where it meets shores. Secondary consumers include sardines, lobsters, bottom feeding things and almost all bream. Minnows are visible and obviously bait to everything that’s bigger. Inevitably they get 8

By the tertiary consumers where size varies. They can be tiny with teeth and quite scary. Then it’s like tuna, turtle or eel to barracuda and grouper to sea lion or seal. Last it goes to orca or killer whale or great white. This feeding frenzy is taking place every day and night. Then there’s us, we put em all in a fish tank or they die in nature then the alpha fish get 8.
