With the absence of a large amount of primary consumer fish, such as tuna and salmon, top predators such as sharks lose their main food source and simply die off. The organisms that were once eaten by the primary consumer fish, such as algae, are now also able to grow and flourish unchallenged. With today’s disappearance of these mid-level fish, coral reefs are being taken over by algae, lethal jellyfish are crowding oceans and lakes, sharks and penguins are dying of starvation (Montaigne,
