Food Web
|
| A food web is a way to map out relationships
between predators and prey. For example, a salmon, the
predator, depends on eating other fish, the prey, to stay
alive. Now
imagine writing down what the other fish in the lake eat for
food, such as algae and other fish. By linking all of
these relationships together we create a food "web" that
accounts for the food of every living organism in the lake.
