In an aquatic ecosystem, the fishing of a particular fish species increased. This fish species is a secondary consumer in an energy pyramid. The fishing of the species led to a decrease in its population. In which two ways will this affect the food web?
1 The higher levels in the pyramid will receive more energy.
2 The higher levels in the pyramid will receive less energy.
3 The lower levels in the pyramid will have less predation.
4 The higher levels in the pyramid will receive no energy at all.
5 The lower levels in the pyramid will receive less energy.

Answer 1

The higher levels in the pyramid will receive less energy.

The lower levels in the pyramid will have less predation.

options 2 and 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

2 and 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Just look at a food pyramid and you will see. If there is more fishing of a fish species, that means the population will go down. This means that if the population of fish goes down, the levels in the energy pyramid below the fish will have less predation, since the anything above a level in the food pyramid will eat anything below it. Also, if there's less fish, that means that the higher levels in the pyramid will recieve less energy since there's less fish for them to eat
