If you are referring to selection pressure, when the selection pressure decreases, there will be weaker forces of natural selection. The angler fishes without the favourable traits would not be that strongly selected against and vice versa. In some cases such as predation selection pressure, the population of angler fishes in the habitat may increase
This process moves carbon from biotic to abiotic matter. Carbon dioxide in the biodome decreased because decomposers decreased which means there was a decrease in cellular respiration overall.
