Explanation:

Aquatic ecosystems are made up of both freshwater and saltwater. In freshwater there are shredders like the stonefly, who feed on organic matter. Phytoplankton are a main producer in the aquatic web. Some phytoplankton and terrestrial organic matter fall to the bottom of an aquatic ecosystem where they are eaten by bottom grazers. Other phytoplankton is eaten by zooplankton. The primary consumers of zooplankton are small fish and whales. Secondary consumers are larger fish who eat the smaller fish, which can then also be eaten by larger fish or tertiary consumers.

Terrestrial

Producers include grasses, berries and flowers, and seeds. These producers are eaten by insects such as butterflies, as well as birds, chipmunks and deer, as well as by omnivores such as bears. Birds also eat the insects and small mammals, and bears eat the small mammals that consume the producers as well. When these animals die, they are decomposed by fungi and insects, and then used as fertilizer for the producers.

Terrestrial and aquatic food webs are also intertwined, providing nutrients to the other's organisms. ... Aquatic animals such as killer whales hunt semi-terrestrial animals such as seals. Terrestrial debris enters aquatic ecosystems, falling to the bottom of the water where it is consumed by bottom grazers.
