many predatory fish have larval and juvenile stages that feed at a low trophic level‚ while the adults feed at a tertiary or quaternary trophic level? It is beneficial because they don’t have to compete for the same foods. Adults and juvenile predatory fish are separated so the juvenile fish don’t intrude which allows juveniles to survive to the adult stage. Not all adults feed at a high trophic level. Whale sharks (50 ft) are the largest fish and feed on plankton and small fish‚ while Great

Murky water in the mangroves can provide camouflage for young fish‚ making it difficult for predators to find them. Also‚ cavity between the roots of the Rhizophora tree can protect young fish from predators which are too large to enter through the roots of the tree. These ‘nurseries’ are very important for marine

total number of fish caught and landed by a fishery should be implemented. Making sure that all harvests aren’t overstepping the oceans’ replenishment speeds. Also‚ many ocean habitats must be protected. The key parts in ecosystems need full protection from destructive fisheries. Some examples could include spawning and nursing grounds of fish‚ delicate sea floor‚ unique unexplored habitats‚ and corals. These areas are vital to the constant growth and continued replenishment of fish in our oceans.
