The marine food web describes the feeding relationships between organisms. Different levels of the food web are called trophic levels. Trophic: relating to feeding and nutrition. However, the linkages are actually very complicated, especially when mixoplankton are involved, as some of these organisms can even eat their own predators! Plankton’s role in the marine food web
