Hi I am writing a lab But I do not know how the food web connects Here is the list Blenny-(fish) Yellow-eye mullet (fish) Sweeo (fish) shrimp pilchardiatoms phytoplankton sea urchin coralline algae bull kelp tiger shark water flea coralline algae dolphin octopus crab snapper(fish) _____________________________________________________________________________ I also have a few questions! 1. Where does energy in a fod come from initially 2. Which organisms have a role as producers in your food web?Why is their niche so important in this marine system? Whichorganisms provide the most available food for their immediateconsumers? 3. Which organisms are considered to be primary consumers,secondary consumers, or both? Why are their niches soimportant? 4. Explain extensively what the roles for each member of afood web are: a) producers b)primary consumers c)secondary consumers 5. Which member(s) of this food web possesses that highestamount of biomass? Which member(s) possess the lowest amount?Provide evidence for your reasoning. Label them on your foodweb.

Label them on your foodweb.Explanation / Answer
The arrows in a food web can be interpreted to mean "eaten by" sothe tip of the arrow should point to the predator. algae --> blenny, yellow-eye mullet, sea urchin kelp --> sea urchin bleeny, yellow-eye mullet ---> dolphin philchardiatoms --> phytoplankton ---> shrimp -->sweep*--> dolphin --> shark algae, phytoplankton ---> water flea shrimp & crabs --> octopus, snapper octopus --> snapper *I don't think sweeo is a fish. Do you mean sweep? I don't have much knowledge about your lab, but you get the generalidea, just draw out the diets of all the organisms using a web.
