Which is the reason for highest biomass inaquatic ecosystem-
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsC
Benthic and brown algae: The benthic zone, especially in shallow coastal areas (littoral zone), receives abundant light and nutrients. This leads to the "exorbitant growth" of large, multicellular producers like brown algae (e.g., kelp). Because these organisms are large and have longer lifespans compared to microscopic plankton, they accumulate a much higher total biomass at any given time.
