1. The krill Euphausia pacifica, feeding on thediatoms, increased in dry weight by an average of 1.6 mg per month,while consuming an average of 5.0 mg dry weight of prey. This krillassimilates its prey with 80% efficiency. Calculate the grossgrowth efficiency and the net growth efficiency for this krill.
2. In general, growth efficiency for marine fish is much higherthan that in terrestrial mammals. Explain reasons for that.
