Decomposers play a very important role in a marine environment. Decomposers are mainly comprised out of bacteria and exist on every trophic level. These
Secondary consumers are eaten by even larger predators called ter ary consumers. Ocean predators at this level are larger fish like tuna and swordfish and
Bacterial biomass constitutes a large pool of living carbon in marine ecosystems. Note greater variation between ecosystems in phytoplankton biomass relative to

Students also note which animals are producers consumers
Secondary consumers prey on primary-consumers They are usually carnivores but can be omnivores as well Tertiary-consumers are carnivores that mostly eat other carnivores They prey on secondary consumers These predator-prey relationships make up the food web Different predators eat different kinds of prey until a top predator is reached
The secondary consumers make up the third trophic level and so on Each level depends on the levels below it for food energy Climate Extension In many coastal systems primary production is almost entirely a function of the phytoplankton

Second-order consumer: Second-order consumers also known as secondary consumers are organisms that occupy a position in a food chain They are often referred to simply as predators as they get their food by eating first-order consumers or herbivores Third-order consumer: A third-order consumer is an animal that eats the second-order consumer
1 A simple ocean zone designation is between the open water (pelagic zone) and the ocean floor (benthic zone) 2 Organisms that can actively swim independent of currents in pelagic environments are referred to as nekton while those that live on the ocean floor are referred to as benthos 3 Plankton are different from nekton:
