The answer relates to the medium in which the sensed molecules travel. On land, animals detect a scent through organic molecules transported in the air. Land animals will experience a taste sensation by grasping an object using their mouth. Here, the organic molecules providing the sensation are transported by saliva or organic fluids of the object. So on land, there is a clear distinction between molecules transported in the wind and those that can be tasted. Water is a much more dense medium than air, and can carry small and large organic molecules, unlike air. Therefore, aquatic animals have little need for olfactory organs as all molecules can be 'tasted' from the water.
The 10% rule means that when energy is passed in an ecosystem from in trophies level to the next , only 10 percent of the energy will be passed on. but ten percent of the energy in organic matter is stored as flesh , the remains is lost during transfer. or broken down in reespirations.
