Consumers and decomposers that eat the phytoplankton are also present In the Gulf of Mexico. As the phytoplankton population increases, so do the populations of consumers and decomposers. How might the presence of increased numbers of consumers and decomposers help explain the decrease in the oxygen concentration?
