Food Web - Blog Posts

A little food web for the Star Wars planet I’m creating. I was trying to figure out what the keystone species would be and this was the easiest way I could think of.

Silvogitan is the major river of the planet, and the Briloskes are the glowing forests that make up the majority of the terrain.

Note: not all creatures (including the freshwater lake ecosystem) are included here

But without primary producers (phytoplankton) there would be no krill

They’re krilly small and unassuming, but krill form the backbone of many ocean ecosystems!

These tiny crustaceans consume phytoplankton, and in turn are food for whales, fish, and other marine animals. During their peak feeding times, blue whales can eat up to 8,000 pounds of krill each day!
