FOOD WEB DYNAMICS (OCMB-6322 CRN 41079)
A food chain is simply "who eats what". A food web weaves together many food chains to form a complicated network of feeding
relationships. Many animals eat more than one thing, and each link in each chain is important and integral to the entire
system. The interactions in a food web are far more complex than the interactions in a food chain.
This course is designed to study the basic components and processes of trophic dynamics, how these comprise different marine
ecosystems and how these systems can be altered.
