How to pronounce “trophic” in English

Its trophic position or trophic level is zero.

Their trophic position is declining.

These trophic cascades are not at all restricted to the Serengeti.

There's low trophic species.

You assign a trophic level to each one.

They have these trophic cascades operating.

So integrated multi-trophic aquaculture-- back to the subject-- is, to me, probably one of the most exciting prospects of feeding

And the trophic scale is basically the food system.

So the kings of trophic scale are predators.

We can actually trophically rewild as well.

And we can measure throughout time their trophic position by looking at the ratio of amino acids in their feathers.

And he describes this as a trophic cascade, where an animal at one level is having effects on both plants and animals at other levels in the system.

And making room for top trophic predators.

So that's called Integrated Multi-Trophic Aquaculture, IMTA.

And things at the bottom of the trophic scale are things like sardines, and anchovies, and then you get into plankton and phytoplankton, things like that.

So I say let's indigenously or trophically rewild indigenous animals again, because they can play a huge role in balancing the ecology and balancing the ecosystems as

Something that eats only the sun is a trophic position of one, like phytoplankton.

So some species have these strong indirect effects through trophic cascades.

And so why I think we should try trophically rewild, introduce animals back, re-establish those food chains, because indigenous animals often play a fundamental role

When the anchovy catch goes up, the trophic position of the aggregate fishery goes way down, because it's so low foraging fish, right?

We can reconstruct what the diets would have been to produce those trophic levels.

But now, we can say the trophic positions have changed over time.

And at every tropic level, each of those trophic levels is an order of magnitude more pollution.

Well, one of the things we said is, trophic level-- kind of an interesting idea.

And we can say, all these things could be affecting why these their trophic position is declining.

Now, one of the things that people have looked over time is to measure the aggregate performance of a fishery by getting its mean trophic level.

Pacific, and then the Mediterranean-- you can see, as catch in fish goes up, the trophic position goes down.

Now, what we can do is, since we have the trophic levels and we have the diets, actually solve for x.

We describe creatures that do sort of different jobs in Nature, that occupy different levels of the food chain, as different trophic levels.

used to be there, not just little museum pieces but all the wildlife, including the top trophic predators.

And one story that I wrote, it's quick little stories, it's about eating on what they call the trophic scale.

But if you can eat things from a little more diversified, so it's not so much things at the top of the trophic scale,
