Population Increase Vs Decrease

Producer: PLANKTON
-If plankton populations incresed in the coral reef the poopulation of
phytoplankton would decrease.
-If plankton populations were to decrease, fish populations would
decrease and phytoplankton populations would increase.
Consumer: STARFISH
-If starfish populations increased clam and oyster populations would
decrease.
-If starfish populations decreased clam and oyster populations would
increase and manta ray populations would decrease.
