The diagram shows the energy trapped as biomass at each stage of a food chain:

phytoplankton (25 000 kJ)⟶zooplankton (2 500 kJ)⟶small fish (375 kJ)⟶large fish (45 kJ) \text{phytoplankton (25 000 kJ)} \longrightarrow \text{zooplankton (2 500 kJ)} \longrightarrow \text{small fish (375 kJ)} \longrightarrow \text{large fish (45 kJ)} phytoplankton (25 000 kJ)⟶zooplankton (2 500 kJ)⟶small fish (375 kJ)⟶large fish (45 kJ)

What is the percentage efficiency in the transfer of energy between the zooplankton and the small fish?
