Activity 6 – FOOD WEB WORKSHEET
Activity 6 – FOOD WEB WORKSHEET
Read through the text. Design a food web and answer
some questions from the following information:
The Torrens River starts in the Adelaide hills as several small creeks which join to
form one larger creek. As it winds its way down the hills to the city, more and more
water is added. It generally only flows in winter, when the rainfall is sufficient, and
dries up into small waterholes during the summer. A weir is used to hold water
permanently in the city. It is surprising how many organisms rely on the river for
their existence.
Algae can be observed growing in the water, as well as water ribbons (Triglochin
procerum) . On the water’s edge, fluffy topped reeds such as the common reed
(Phragmites australis) and the bulrush (Typhus sp) grow. Water boatmen are
observed swimming in the water. They are eating the algae and reeds. Mosquito
larvae also eat the algae while the freshwater snail eats both the algae and water
ribbons. A long necked tortoise pokes its nostrils above the water. The tortoise eats
the algae too, as well as feeding on snails, boatman and yabbies. The water
boatman provides food for many species including fish, frogs, diving beetles and
dragonfly larvae. The yabbies are scavengers, feeding on rotting plant and animal
matter, while bacteria also help break down this dead material by digesting it and
recycling nutrients in the food web. The mosquito larvae are considered a delicacy
for several varieties of fish (such as the big-headed gudgeon or the congolli).
Birds are in abundance along the waterway. Pacific black ducks are feeding on fish,
dragonfly larvae and diving beetles,
