How It Is Done
In the rest of the world’s oceans, fish are the primary predators, but the Death Star is here to show us how it’s done in Antarctica. Fish do not live in this area since the water is very cold. As a consequence, invertebrates like the Antarctic Sunstar have risen to the top of the food chain.
