ocean food web

In marine ecosystems, a variety of species play distinct roles as consumers and producers, contributing to the complex food web. Tertiary consumers like the great white shark, octopus, and bottlenose dolphin are primarily carnivorous predators, often at the top of their food chains, though they sometimes become prey.
