Death of the whale can be divided into three phases: the mobile scavengers, the enrichment opportunist stage, and the sulphophilic bacteria. After the whale death, its body will slowly sink till it reaches the floor of the ocean which then will it settle there. After it’s down, in phase one, all the flesh eating species such as sharks and crabs will come and eat pieces of the whale. After the muscles and skins had been eaten, worms and bacterias will begin to eat and tear apart the soft tissues of the whale. And at the end, sulphur-reducing bacteria will eat whatever it is left. A whale can feed and serve other species from 50 to 75 years after its being death. That is why whale fall can simply become a key point of the succession. Because of it, many new species had been found and
