Yeah. Still, if they're eating thousands of kilograms of it a day, that's a ton of plankton.
Trying to imagine that much of it being in the ocean for the whales to subsist on it...it puts in scale just how big the ocean really is. It's got to be so big you can't even comprehend it, really.
...I guess so long as the whale population's consumption never exceeds more than a third of the plankton's population, it'd have to be self-sustaining. More than that, the whales' feeding would keep plankton populations stable, neither increasing nor decreasing.
Yeah. It's the same reason why prey animals have evolved to have such large litters, it's to compensate for the fact that some of them will get caught by predators.

[He is moderately surprised. Kakyoin were you wrong . . .]
