Interesting Food Chain Findings

Overfishing of powerful sharks — a top predator in the ocean — may endanger bay scallops, a gourmet delicacy. With fewer sharks to devour them, skates and rays have increased sharply along the East Coast and they are gobbling up shellfish, particularly bay scallops, researchers report in Friday's issue of the journal Science.

Interesting sometimes how delicate the food chain is, and how the most 'opposite' types of creatures are so integral...

Just food for thought (sorry about that...)

Knocking one link out of any food-chain will effect the whole ecosystem. Most people don't realize this. Even getting rid of a pest like the mosquito would screw up trophic levels.

You are absolutely right. And the 'mix' of species in the food chain is quite interesting when you really think about it sometimes....sharks down to scallops.....
