The pyramid of biomass in sea is generally inverted because the biomass of fishes far exceeds that of phytoplankton and the number of big fishes eating the small fishes is also greater than the small ones. Also in pyramid of number, the number of insects feeding on a big tree is far greater than the tree. Now the number of small birds depending on the insects and the number of larger birds eating the smaller ones also increases in the order.
