In addition to overall enrollment being at a record level, the universityâs main-campus enrollment is at an all-time high of 53,672, which informal tabulations also indicate is the most for any single campus in Texas. Texas A&Mâs main campus enrollment was 50,227 last fall.
The trophic level is a measure of the position of an organism in a food web, starting at level 1 with primary producers, such as phytoplankton and seaweed, then moving through the primary consumers at level 2 that eat the primary producers to the secondary consumers at level 3 that eat the primary consumers, and so on.
In the simplest scheme, the first trophic level (level 1) is plants, then herbivores (level 2), and then carnivores (level 3). The trophic level is equal to one more than the chain length, which is the number of links connecting to the base. The base of the food chain (primary producers or detritivores) is set at zero.
