Answer: Produce a large biomass rich in protein quickly.
- A Require large areas of highly fertile land
- B Grow slowly over many years
- C Can only be grown in the open sea
- D Produce a large biomass rich in protein quickly
Correct answer: D. Produce a large biomass rich in protein quickly
Explanation: Microbes such as Spirulina multiply rapidly and produce a large biomass rich in proteins, minerals and vitamins, making them an efficient SCP source.
Different fish species occupy different feeding depths in the same pond without competing for food: Catla feeds near the surface, Rohu in the middle zone, and Mrigal or common carp at the bottom - letting a single pond support far more total fish than one species alone.
