Write the common food chain of a pond ecosystem.

Answers (1)

Producers: Rooted or floating plants usually algae, called phytoplankton are the major autotrophs that act as food sources to consumers.

Consumers are of two types:

  • Herbivores: Protozoa (zooplankton) which consume algae
  • Carnivores: Small fish will consume Protozoa.

Big Fish/Animals/Birds consume the small fish.

So the food chain is as follows:

 Algae ---------Protozoa ———Small fish —— Large fish/bird/animal

(Producer)    (Herbivore)        (Carnivore)            (Large carnivore)
