Answer 2

Heya......

your answer is......

➸Algae, the major food of fish (and thus indirectly of many other animals), are a keystone in the aquatic food chain of life; they are the primary producers of the food that provides the energy to power the whole system.

➸They are also important to aquatic life in their capacity to supply oxygen through photosynthesis.

➸Seaweeds, e.g., the kelps (kombu) and the red algae Porphyra (nori), have long been used as a source of food, especially in Asia.

➸Both cultivated and naturally growing seaweeds have been harvested in the Pacific Basin for hundreds of years.

➸Kelp are also much used as fertilizer, and kelp ash is used industrially for its potassium and sodium salts.

➸Other useful algae products are agar and carrageen, which is used as a stabilizer in foods, cosmetics, and paints.
