Sharks and fur seals

The video explains the role of the great white shark as a consumer in the ocean's food chain. It highlights how sharks derive energy from their prey, such as fur seals, which in turn get energy from fish. The video further explores the food chain, showing how some fish eat other fish, while others consume algae. Algae are identified as producers that create their own food using sunlight, forming the base of the food chain. Ultimately, the energy produced by algae flows up the chain to the shark, demonstrating the interconnectedness of ocean life.
