Abstract

Pelagic fish play a pivotal role in shaping the complex food webs of marine ecosystems, serving as both predators and prey. This study examines the interactions between pelagic fish and various marine species, exploring their trophic relationships and the broader ecological implications of these connections. By analyzing energy flow and nutrient cycling, the research highlights how pelagic fish facilitate the transfer of biomass across trophic levels, influencing the abundance and distribution of marine organisms. The intricate dynamics of predator-prey interactions, coupled with environmental factors such as climate change and overfishing, underscore the fragility of oceanic food webs. The study emphasizes the importance of understanding these trophic linkages to better manage marine biodiversity and sustain ecosystem health. Ultimately, this research contributes to a deeper understanding of the complexity of marine food webs and the critical role pelagic fish play in maintaining ecological balance in the open ocean.
