The Rireinukave know that this is a fish-eat-fish world. No matter how big a fish you are, there will inevitably turn up a bigger fish that finds you a nice appetiser. This used to be called ‘food chain’, but in ecology the interdependence of life forms is more often termed ‘food web’. Conveniently for these musings, today’s ConWorkShop theme is No theme.
