Biomass pyramid of aquatic system

Vedclass · Answer

(A) In an aquatic ecosystem,the biomass of producers (phytoplankton,algae,etc.) is very low because they have a short lifespan and high turnover rate.As we move up the trophic levels to primary consumers (zooplankton,small insects) and secondary consumers (small fishes),the biomass increases.The biomass of top carnivores (large fishes) is the highest.Therefore,the pyramid of biomass in an aquatic ecosystem is inverted.
