qn - why is the pyramid of biomass in sea inverted??

Remember Cedric. Remember, if the time should come when you have to make a choice between what is right and what is easy, remember what happened to a boy who was good, and kind, and brave, because he strayed across the path of Lord Voldemort. Remember Cedric Diggory.

well i think they say its a paradox becoz there can be situations where phytoplanktons might exceed the biomass of fishes but most of the time its the other way round and the statement that the pyramid of biomass in sea is inverted is true

its bcoz rate of production and consumption of phytoplanktons is higgh nd hence they can support zooplanktons wid low standin crop
