Due to the following factors which includes relative longevity and reproductive capacity of predators of the relative longevity and reproductive capacity of predators and planktons, that the aquatic pyramid of biomass is inverted 
CommentsReport5.02 votesTHANKS19prmkulk1978AcePyramid of Bio mass: If we plot the biomass of producers, herbivores and carnivores, we get two types of biomass pyramid they are
1. Upright( found most in all ecosystem)2. Inverted
If a smaller weight of producers supports a larger weight of consumers, as in aquatic ecosystem, an inverted biomass results.Inverted biomass pyramid results because of different rate of production at different trophic levels.For example:In forest ecosystem trees live for almost 100 years and tiny diatoms in aquatic ecosystem live for only few days.A tree may take 5 to 10 years to produce its first seed where as diatom may take less than a day to reproduce.thus diatom, may reproduce millions of time during 5-10 years and all this lives in biomass to survive, it would be heavier than a tree. Accumulation of biomass may be small but production rate is high in diatom based system.
