The Peruvian anchovy fishery occurs a highly productive region with coastal upwelling. Why is this fishery considered to have high trophic efficiency? O anchovies are r-selected organisms O anchovies are primary producers with high photosynthetic rates O anchovies consume other fish O anchovies are primary consumers feeding on plankton the fishery has 7 trophic levels which makes it very efficient
