  ABSTRACT: The coastal marine habitats are often characterized by high biological activity. Therefore, monitoring programs and conservation plans of coastal environments are needed. So, in order to contribute to decision making process of the Brazilian Information System of Coastal Management, this paper presents a preliminary analysis of the effects of simulated deletions of individual organisms within a planktonic network as knowledge acquisition platform. An in situ scanning flow cytometer was used to data acquisition. A static and undirected food web is generated and represented by a fuzzy graph structure. Our results show through a series of indices the main changes of these networks. It was also verified similar traits and properties with other food webs found in the literature.
