Answer:

The areas of the body that are involved in the lymphatic system are: lymph, lymphatic capillaries and vessels, lymphatic ducts and lymphatic organs (bone marrow, thymus, spleen and lymph nodes).

Explanation:

The lymphatic system is a complex set of lymphoid organs, tissues, vessels and ducts, which are distributed throughout the body, whose main functions are to produce and mature the body's defense cells, in addition to draining and filtering excess body fluid. , directing it into the bloodstream.

This uptake of liquid, called lymph, happens through capillaries, which are thin vessels that communicate with cells, and when reaching deeper levels of the body, capillaries become larger lymphatic vessels. During circulation in the lymphatic vessels, the lymph passes through organs, such as the lymph nodes, adenoids and spleen, responsible for the production, storage and maturation of cells of the immune system, such as lymphocytes, responsible for the defense and combat of foreign microorganisms.

IgorC [24]
I think if the whale population decreased the surface fish populations would decline due to reduced populations of algae. This can be simply explained by the fact that, if the whale population is decreased, it means that the nitrogen rich feces that is supply nutrients to the algae would also decrease and therefore decrease the population of the algae and as a result the population of  of the surface fish  would also decline.
