Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: A
Solution:
In this case the biomass of producers (algae etc.) is minimum which increases at herbivore (rotifers, insects, etc) level and further at carnivore (small fishes etc) level.
The biomass of top carnivores (large fishes) is maximum.
Thus the pyramid of biomass in aquatic system is inverted.
