Answer:

Deep scattering layer, DSL

Explanation:

The deep scattering layer (DSL) also known as "<em>deep sound layer</em>", refers to an oceanic deep layer, more or less defined, that reflects sound and that is formed by a wide variety of animals. It is present in almost every ocean. It is produced by the presence of many organisms of different species that can disperse the sonar waves sent by a sonar equipment.

It was discovered through the ships´ sonar. Whenever they met a layer in which the sound hit, and was often confused with the bottom of the ocean. This is why the DSL is refered to as the "fake bottom".

These animals form layers of not less than 10 meters thick and might easily reach up to 50 meters thick. These layers are often found between 50 and 200 meters deep and can be seen going up and down every day according to the daily vertical migration.

Overfishing occurs when more fish are removed from an ecosystem than can be maintained by the population,

Overfishing can lead to significant population declines in economically important species. The passage describes

According to the passage, which mechanism explains the observed changes in fish size over time?

A. Smaller fish produce fewer eggs than larger fish do, so they contribute fewer offspring to the next

generation.

B. Fish that are small enough to escape fishing nets are more likely to survive than larger fish.

C. Scientists found that Atlantic silversides exhibited changes in feeding and foraging rates after four

generations of selection,

D. The average size of pink salmon returning to spawn decreased from 6.0 pounds to approximately 4.5

“Survival of the fittest” means organisms that have the most beneficial traits are more likely to survive and produce offspring.
tester [92]

Answer:

The chart shows how well each beetle with each trait were able to survive in their environments, and Mutant 1 was clearly out living the other two, because as you can see mutant 2 has only last for at least one generation, while the non-mutated one lived a little longer. This is because Mutant 1 developed the trait that made its shell darker, and thus it's easier for them to hide from predators, and they were able to successfully pass on their genes to their offspring so now they can do the same.
