The perch is typically classified as a secondary consumer in aquatic ecosystems. It primarily feeds on smaller fish, invertebrates, and zooplankton, placing it in a higher trophic level than primary consumers, which are herbivores. In the context of a food chain, perch occupy a trophic level of about 3, depending on the specific ecosystem and available food sources.

How are trophic level efficiency measured?
Trophic level efficiency is typically measured by calculating the amount of energy transferred from one trophic level to the next. This is done by analyzing the ratio of energy present in the biomass of one trophic level compared to the trophic level below it. The efficiency of energy transfer between trophic levels is usually around 10%, meaning that only around 10% of energy is transferred from one trophic level to the next.
What animal would be at the 2nd trophic level?
The group of organisms that occupy the second trophic level of an ecosystem is the herbivores. The herbivores eat the plants in the first trophic level and are then called primary consumers. -Gallo :)
An organisms position in the sequence of energy transfers in an ecosystem is known as its?
Trophic Level
What are antonyms of trophic level?
The antonyms of trophic level would be non-trophic level or abiotic level, referring to components of an ecosystem that are not part of the food chain or do not involve energy transfer through consumption.
How many trophic level are these in the following food chain phytoplankton-shrimp-perch-pike-osprey?
The food chain you provided contains four trophic levels. Phytoplankton represents the first trophic level as primary producers. Shrimp, which feeds on phytoplankton, is the second trophic level (primary consumers). Perch, feeding on shrimp, is the third trophic level (secondary consumers), and pike, preying on perch, is the fourth trophic level (tertiary consumers), with the osprey as a top predator potentially representing an additional level.
What trophic level are scavengers?
Scavengers are on every trophic level
What is the trophic level of the bird?
The trophic level is where an organism falls on the food chain. Most birds fall on the highest level, trophic level 4.

What trophic level is a salamander?
Third trophic level. It eats insects.
What is the hawks trophic level?
they are tertiary consumers. the first trophic level.
what are the trophic level for monarch butterflies?
Their trophic level is primary consumer.
Organisms at the first trophic level are called?
Producers make up the first trophic level. A trophic level is each step in a food chain or food web is called a trophic level.
How are trophic level efficiency measured?
Trophic level efficiency is typically measured by calculating the amount of energy transferred from one trophic level to the next. This is done by analyzing the ratio of energy present in the biomass of one trophic level compared to the trophic level below it. The efficiency of energy transfer between trophic levels is usually around 10%, meaning that only around 10% of energy is transferred from one trophic level to the next.
What trophic level is a cougar?
Its an T1 because its an producer
Are biomass and trophic level related?
Each trophic level contains one-tenth as much biomass as the level below it and ten times as much biomass as the level above it.
Why can each trophic level support only about one tenth the amount of the living tissue of the level below?
This is because energy is lost at each trophic level. The energy available to the next trophic level is about 10% of the energy of the previous trophic level.
