    Wetland Foodweb: A) An Oil Spill Occurred Nearby

    Uploaded by

    1) The document describes a wetland food web activity where students have to determine what organisms eat each other in a wetland ecosystem. 2) It lists various biotic organisms found in wetlands like algae, frogs, fish, herons, etc. and asks students to draw arrows showing the feeding relationships. 3) Students are asked to predict the effects of an oil spill, fertilizer runoff, all fish being killed, and warmer weather with less rainfall on the wetland organisms.

    Food Web Activity: Who Gets eaten by What?

    Wetland Food web: You have to figure out what each living thing (given below) eats and then draw arrows
    to show what ends up in whose mouth. Remember that each living thing can be eaten by more than one
    thing. You can take a picture of each organism on the internet. 

    Biotic: 

    Water ribbons duck lizard 

    Algae pelican swamp hen 

    Frog black swan fish 

    Heron tortoise freshwater snail 

    Bulrushes diving beetle reeds 

    Mosquito dragonfly larvae dragonfly 

    Yabby water boatman mosquito larvae 

    Choose only 2 situations and explain: Predict what will happen to the organism if:

    a) an oil spill occurred nearby 


    b) several house owners nearby fertilized their lawns followed by a big rain 

    c) all the fish were killed 

    d) the weather is warmer than usual and less rainfall.

    Predict what will happen to the organism if:

    c) all the fish were killed 


    If all the fish were killed, then the life as we know it will cease to exist. This prediction is horrifying,
    but there is certainly credibility behind it. The lack of fish in the ocean does not simply mean that important
    source of foods is gone. Rather it will mean that our world will undergo dramatic changes. Fish is the main
    food source for people who are unable to afford chicken and red-meat. Fish play a far more important role
    as contributors of nutrients to marine ecosystems. Without them, the life as we know it will not be possible.
    The ocean will no longer be able to perform many of its essential functions in our ecosystems. It can lead
    our life in lower quality. These effects of a world without fish in the ocean would be felt by everyone.

    d) the weather is warmer than usual and less rainfall.

    If the weather is warmer than usual, higher temperatures may be suitable for reproduction and can
    rapidly increase the number of organisms such as algae and large invertebrates, but warmer water affects
    the amount of dissolved oxygen in water. If the weather is warmer than usual and less rainfall, it simply
    means that the moist air produces many small droplets instead of some large droplets. These droplets do
    not grow large enough to sink in the air, so clouds last longer and drizzle less. The warmer weather can
    affect the water temperature during heat waves that contributes to the deterioration of water quality and
    adversely affects the number of fish. It can also lead to the death of many organisms in the aquatic
    ecosystem. Also associated with the growth of rampant algae, leading to mass mortality of fish in rivers and
    lakes.
