Detailed explanation-1: -The biomass pyramid of aquatic ecosystem is inverted. Here the biomass of primary producers is much less than the zooplanktons, which is less than the small fish and the big fish having the maximum biomass.
Detailed explanation-2: -Most pyramids are larger at the bottom, but marine biomass pyramids are often inverted. This is because the producers are very small and have limited mass. They also reproduce and die quickly, so there is less biomass at any given time compared to consumers.
Detailed explanation-3: -The biomass in an ecosystem includes the mass of all living and dead organic matter. Production is the incremental increase in biomass produced by organisms over a period of time. Estimates of biomass and production can be used to assess the health of aquatic ecosystems.
Detailed explanation-4: -The correct answer is Pond. In a pond or aquatic ecosystems, the pyramid of biomass is inverted.
