What exactly would happen if filter-feeding whales went extinct? It doesn't look like they play a role in the food pyramid except maybe as transportation for barnacle.

An organism is part of a complex web of interactions that follow it from birth until after death. Everything from orcas preying on whale calves to entire ecosystems cropping up around a whale's corpse in the abyssal depths are dependent on large whales.

No organism can be removed without disrupting many other organisms, even if you think it is worthless.

Are you from Japan or Norway? They are famous whale-eaters. If all whales would become extinct, you'll suck your own dicks instead of eating tasty whale meat like one at the photo. Maybe, I say some simple things, but killed whale females would not give birth to next generation of whale calves.
Are my words understandable?

Are you suggesting that the only niche occupied by filter-feeding whales is for human consumption?

Meat of toothed whales is worse because of accumulation of heavy metals and toxic substances at the top of food chain. Also the meat of sperm whale and beaked whales may cause diarrhea. That's why meat of mysticetes is preferrable as a food source.

Consider the deep ocean bottom dwelling organisms that depend on whale carcasses as a source of food. There are entire ecosystems built around these corpses.

>something eats tens of millions of animals a day
>nah, they probably have no role in the food pyramid

It's usually a good idea to even slightly think about things OP.

Krill populations are way down anyway.

They're important for nutrient cycling from the deep ocean to terrestrial ecosystems as well.

What exactly would happen if Japanese people went extinct? It doesn't look like they play a role in the food pyramid except maybe as transportation for pixelated genitals.
