Practice objective / multiple choice question 41 from the 2018 Neco Biology examination.
A researcher samples algae in a rectangular pond using 5 quadrats each of area \(0.25\ \text{m}^2\). The dry weight of algae (in grams) recorded from the quadrats are 12, 15, 9, 13 and 11. Estimate the average algal biomass per square metre, then assuming that 10\% of the algal biomass is consumed by zooplankton and 20\% of the zooplankton biomass is transferred to small fish, calculate the total biomass of small fish (in kilograms) that can be supported in the whole pond of area 2\ \text{ha}.
