Dagon Ecosystem by Julian Facundo

Primary producers

julianfacundo2006 — 2025-01-14 15:27:19 UTC

Primary producers are organisms that create their own food through photosynthesis or chemosynthesis, and are also known as autotrophs.

IN MY ECOSYSTEMS

It would be seaweed

Primary Consumer

julianfacundo2006 — 2025-01-14 15:38:58 UTC

A primary consumer is an organism that eats plants, or producers, as part of its diet. Primary consumers are also known as herbivores

MINE WOULD BE

Giant Tub Worm/Riftia Large, bioluminescent squid could prey on the shrimp and other smaller creatures.

Secondary Consumer

julianfacundo2006 — 2025-01-14 15:49:08 UTC

A secondary consumer is an organism that eats primary consumers, which are organisms that eat primary producers.

MINE WOULD BE

Eelpouts Fish and Deep sea squid

Deep-Sea Squid: Large, bioluminescent

squid could prey on the shrimp and other

smaller creatures.

Eelpouts: would be the prime hunter for Tube worms, also would be potential pray for Deep seas squids

3rd level consumer

julianfacundo2006 — 2025-01-14 15:52:45 UTC

A "3rd level consumer" in a food chain is also called a tertiary consumer; this means it is an organism that eats secondary consumers, placing it at the third level in the food chain, typically being a carnivore that preys on other carnivores.

Top Carnivore

The large predators that sit atop the marine food chain are a diverse group that includes finned (sharks, tuna, dolphins), feathered (pelicans, penguins), and flippered (seals, walruses) animals. These apex predators tend to be large, fast, and very good at catching prey.

Decomposers

julianfacundo2006 — 2025-01-14 15:59:14 UTC

Decomposers are organisms that break down dead organisms and waste material, returning nutrients to the environment and fueling the food web.

MINE IS deep sea bacteria and fungi

Weather/Climate of ecosystem

julianfacundo2006 — 2025-01-14 16:04:32 UTC

Absence of Photosynthesis: The lack of

sunlight necessitates alternative energy

sources like chemosynthesis.

Which seeing with absence of sunlight it would be the climate is super cold with the deep harsh conditions of heavy pressure which means the ecosyste need specialized adaptations to survive in these harsh conditions.

Salt water

Seasonal changes

julianfacundo2006 — 2025-01-14 16:08:18 UTC

There wouldn't be much seasonal changes especially with the ecosystems being so deep in the sea, but they'll be subtle changes for how the earth turns like deep sea currents and Hydrothermal Vent Activity

No primary Consumers (WHAT IF)

julianfacundo2006 — 2025-01-14 16:13:57 UTC

With no primary consumers to feed on,

secondary consumers like deep-sea squid

and giant isopods would face severe food

shortages.

Without primary consumers to graze on

them, the chemosynthetic bacteria and

tube worms would likely experience a

population explosion.

Last As apex predators, Dagon and his

followers would be severely impacted. The

loss of their primary food sources

(secondary consumers) would drasticaly

reduce their food availability.

This could lead to increased competition

for dwindling resources, potentially even

cannibalism within their own species

EVERY GREEN POST IS CHECK POINT 1

DECOMPOSERS GONE?

julianfacundo2006 — 2025-01-14 16:16:20 UTC

Decomposers play a critical role in maintaining the health and balance of any ecosystem. Their removal from the Dagon ecosystem would have devastating consequences, leading to nutrient depletion, the accumulation of waste, and the eventual collapse of the food web.

julianfacundo2006 — 2025-01-23 04:32:54 UTC

Dagon's place is a terrifying deep-sea world. Imagine pitch-black water, so thick you could almost cut it with a knife. Weird, glowing creatures swim around, and giant monsters with eyes like burning coals lurk in the shadows. Strange plants, like twisted, bioluminescent vines, cling to hydrothermal vents, spewing smoke and fire. The pressure is crushing, the cold seeps into your bones, and you can hear the distant roars of unseen titans, echoing through the abyss. It's a place where sanity itself seems to crack and crumble. Dagon, the monstrous god of the sea, rules this abyss, feasting on giant squid, devouring schools of fish, and even occasionally snacking on the strange, otherworldly seaweed that clings to the hydrothermal vents.

Based on where your iquatic ecosystem is located, what is the human impact that this ecosystem faces or could potentially affect the ecosystem

julianfacundo2006 — 2025-01-23 04:35:01 UTC

It would be very deep in the water, the most effect humans would have would be a piece of trash deep in the water here and there.

EVERY ORANGE PART IS FOR PART 2
