What is a food web?
It is a natural interconnection of several food chains in a single ecosystem. Each food chain supplies energy and nutrients through the ecosystem. There are four food webs producer, herbivores, carnivores, omnivores and decomposers.
Here green algae comes under autotrophs(prepares their own food), periwinkle and microscopic animals are herbivores(depend on producer); mussel, barnacle, dogwhelk and crab are carnivores(depend on herbivore); dogfish is an omnivore(depends on both producer and carnivore).
