Eels, particularly species like the European eel and the American eel, typically occupy a position as both predators and prey in aquatic ecosystems, placing them at a mid to higher trophic level. They primarily feed on a variety of organisms, including small fish, crustaceans, and zooplankton, which positions them as carnivores. Their role can vary based on their life stage and environment, contributing to both energy transfer and ecological balance in their habitats.

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 much energy would be available at the third trophic level if the first trophic level has 300000 kilocalories of available energy and the loss rate between trophic levels is 90 percent?
If the first trophic level has 300,000 kilocalories and there is a 90 percent loss of energy between trophic levels, then only 10 percent of the energy is passed on to the next level. Therefore, the second trophic level would have 30,000 kilocalories (10% of 300,000). Applying the same loss rate, the third trophic level would have 3,000 kilocalories (10% of 30,000).
What trophic level is a human who eats the Moray Eel?
Human trophic level varies. If the individual in question ate only moray eels (who are independently about a trophic level of 4, on account of being mostly piscivorous) then I imagine the human would be at a similar level. If the eel made up a part of an otherwise omnivorous diet, then I expect the person's trophic level to be closer to 2.5-3.0
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.
What is the trophic level for walrus?
Well, I am guesing either the secondary of third trophic level. If you know the trophic level of clams and shellfish, the walrus is right above that.
