I think if the whale population decreased the surface fish populations would decline due to reduced populations of algae. This can be simply explained by the fact that, if the whale population is decreased, it means that the nitrogen rich feces that is supply nutrients to the algae would also decrease and therefore decrease the population of the algae and as a result the population of  of the surface fish  would also decline.

What is the process which scientists grade the work of other scientist before published?
Finger [1]
The process is called Peer-Reviewing. In Peer-Reviewing, scientists/academic peers "peer review" the work of a scientist to check for accuracy or any false information that might reduce the legitimacy of their study or change "how realistic/real" their study is.

p.s. This is also common sense because scientists make up an entire scientific community who base their scientific studies on consistency and accuracy.

Explain how seasonal changes in carrying capacity can account for the annual cycles in population size observed for this populat
murzikaleks [220]
<span>Carrying capacity is how many animals a given location can hold. This means that if the number of rabbits, n, exceeds the carrying capacity, C, then the difference between the number of rabbits minus the carrying capacity (n - C) will likely die to starvation. Seasons in Ohio can directly affect carrying capacity because colder weather usually means less food. Rabbits can eat plants as well, and in winter, plants do not do well to survive. Thus, the carrying capacity will decrease. In contrast, in summer, plants flourish so the carrying capacity will increase.</span>
