Monterey Bay, on the California coast, contains a diverse and complex ecological community. A variety of seaweeds and single-celled algae make up the base of the food web. Many animals, such as sea urchins, abalone, snails, and crabs, graze on these photosynthetic organisms. Otters and small fish eat all of these primary consumers and in turn are eaten by orcas and sharks. Orcas eat many other smaller organisms, including dolphins, sea lions, harbor seals, and many kinds of fish. Sea stars prey on sea urchins, abalone, and snails, whereas octopus eat crabs, fish, and sea stars. Sea lions and harbor seals eat predominantly fish. Sea cucumbers eat dead organic matter that falls to the sea floor. Place each of the organisms in the trophic pyramid based on where it gets its energy. Each organism will be used only once even if some of the organisms consume organisms from several trophic levels. Place organisms that eat from several trophic levels at the highest possible trophic level. For instance, a shark that eats sea lions, octopus, otters, and fish would be placed at the highest trophic level on the pyramid, even though the shark eats both secondary and tertiary consumers. You are currently in a labeling module. Turn off browse mode or quick nav, Tab to items, Space or Enter to pick up, Tab to move, Space or Enter to drop.The illustration has a trophic pyramid that contains a producer level labeled trophic level one, a primary consumer level labeled trophic level two, a secondary consumer level labeled trophic level three, a tertiary consumer level labeled trophic level four, a quaternary consumer level labeled trophic level five, and a section for decomposers and detritivores.
