To support Pacific herring requiring 100,000 calories, a significant amount of phytoplankton is needed due to the energy transfer inefficiencies in aquatic food webs. Generally, only about 10% of the energy is passed on from one trophic level to the next. Therefore, to provide 100,000 calories to the herring, approximately 1,000,000 calories of phytoplankton would be required, accounting for this energy loss.
