Question

In a grass-type food chain, what would be the level of a fish?

Answer 1

Role of fish in the grass-type food chain:

1. In the grass-type food chain, the fish has no trophic level.
2. The energy is transferred from grass to the primary consumer (ex. grasshopper), then to the secondary consumer (ex. frog) and finally to the tertiary consumer (snake).
3. Fish forms part of an aquatic ecosystem and are considered secondary consumers.
4. Hence, they are not involved in the grass-type of the food chain.
