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 the 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)
