Skeletonema potamos grows in relatively short (1-10 cells) chains. In polluted water S. potamos grew in chains 2-4 cells long and under those conditions was considered a functional food chain species. However, the presence of this species as a food source has not been addressed with regards to the specific impact on predators or other prey species.
