Question

Seasonal variations in ocean temperatures can impact the populations of living organisms. If phytoplankton populations grow more quickly in cooler water, how would herbivorous fish be affected by the cooler seasons?

Answer 1

The herbivorous fish would have to follow the food if the colder waters succeed due to the seasonal variations the herbivorous fish or predictors in this case would have to follow. It can also affect or instigate the fishes reproductive cycle. They will only reproduce if there is enough food to support them and their new offspring.<span />
