5 important questions on Ecology test
What is the basic level of an aquatic food chain>
Why is the biomass of higher trophic levels always lower than of lower trophic levels?
For what are fish used as indicators for ecological water quality important?
- Higher grades + faster learning
- Never study anything twice
- 100% sure, 100% understanding
What are advantages and disadvantages of using fish as indicators for ecological water quality?
- present in most aquatic systems
- easy to identify
- information available on environmental responses
- clear response to stress
- long term effects (fish live long)
Disadvantages:
- selectivity of sampling gear
- sampling bias due to mobility
- sampling takes effort
- tolerance to disturbance
- relatively late indication of water quality changes
