can you classify the effect this relationship has on each of the species involved?
jacks
benefits
silvertip shark
benefits
not affected
harmed
In commensalism, one species benefits and the other is neither benefited nor harmed. Jacks (likely a type of fish) benefit from the relationship with the silvertip shark (e.g., by getting protection or food scraps), while the shark is not affected. So for the silvertip shark, the effect is "Not affected".
