Question

Scientists have been studying four populations in one area of the Atlantic Ocean. In this area, both tuna and dolphins eat squid, and squid eat herring (a type of fish).
The data shows that recently the tuna population increased. How will the increase in the tuna population affect the other populations? Be sure to explain whether the dolphin population, the squid population, and the herring population will change, and why.

Answer 1

Answer:

the squid population could decrease, because the tuna population is increasing and they would eat more squid, so the dolphin population would also decrease because there would be less squid to eat, and because there are less squid the herring population would increase.
