In the lake the biomass of plankton decreased from 65000 to 50000 kg. As a result the biomass of the lake minnows (trophic efficiency is 9 %), for which plankton is food, also decreased. How many individuals will the lake pike population decrease by (the average mass is 3.5 kg, trophic efficiency is 12 %)?

In an ocean ecosystem, the biomass of an algal community is approximately 3000 kilograms. It can support a food chain up to 4 levels. Considering an efficiency at an average of 10% in passing on energy from one trophic level to the next level, how much biomass of the fourth trophic level can be maintained.
Trophic levels Part A) In food chains and webs, what trophic level must you have more of than others. Part B) Each trophic level has how much LESS energy? Part C) Can an organism fill more than one trophic level? Explain your answer.
Asian carp are an invasive species of fish. When the Asian carp invade a river or lake, they overtake the food and space from the native fish. What type of density-dependent factor would this be considered?
Lotka-Volterra Competition A small lake is capable of supporting both bluegill and smallmouth bass. These two bony fish species compete for similar food resources. The carrying capacity of this lake for bluegill (K) is 1,500 and for bass (K,) is 500. After some careful measurement, we find that a is 0.5 and that pis 0.25. We stock the lake with 250 bluegill and 750 bass. Over time, will both species be able to co-exist? If not, which one will be driven to extinction in this lake? If so, approximately how many of each species will be present? Please show the equation step by step on paper please
