Question

A population of shrimp suddenly starts collapsing. a biologist believes that toxins in the food chain are interfering with larvae development. a climate scientist believes that a change in water temperature is depleting food sources from the water. why are both of these options valid scientific hypotheses?

Answer 1

Each explain a logical explanation as to why a population decrease would occur. Toxins would kill off prey or even predator, making populations drop. A change in temperature also explains a population drop as the current known species of the area wouldn't be able to cope with the sudden change. Hope this helped.
