The pyramid of biomass in the sea is generally inverted because:
1. | the biomass of fish far exceeds that of phytoplankton at any given time |
2. | the major primary production to the sea is actually contributed by the terrestrial ecosystems |
3. | the flow of energy level does not follow the laws of thermodynamics in the sea |
4. | It is not true. The pyramid of biomass can never be inverted in any ecosystem |
