Explain the development of a Barrier reef
from a Fringing Reef.
B 500

F 100
Respiration and growth
F 100
If 1,347 g/hr is absorbed by the gut of an animal and 900 g/hr is used in respiration… then how
many g/hr. goes to growth?
F 200
447 g/hr.

• A whale shark has GROWTH EFFICIENCY of 13%. Is that good, average or bad? Explain.
13% would be could good because the average
absorption efficiency is 10%
F 300
Is an animal ingests 900kg/day and 395
kg/day are absorbed, what is
the ABSORPTION EFFICIENCY?
F 400
F 400
• 395/900 X 100 = 43.8%
Solve for growth and absorption efficiencies.
