Chapter 49, Problem 16PIAT
SOCIETY Volunteer conservation organizations have hosted “lionfish derbies” and lionfish cookouts to promote the capture of thousands of lionfish from reefs in Florida and the Bahamas. Conservationists are also trying to promote a fishery for these small but tasty fish. Give one reason that it would be easy to promote the consumption of lionfish. Describe one possible challenge to this effort.

Claim: Evidence: Reasoning:arrow_forwardYou are studying the competitive interactions between largemouth bass and lake trout in a several lakes. Some lakes have both largemouth bass and trout, while other lakes don’t have largemouth bass. You examined the gut content of a large sample of bass and trout. In lakes in which both species are found, 100% of the bass diet is composed of small fish while only 15% of the trout’s diet is composed of small fish. The remaining 85% of the trout diet’s is composed of zooplankton. In the lakes without bass, the diet of the lake trout is composed at 85% of small fish and 15% of zooplankton. What can you conclude from these results? Select one: a. Largemouth Bass will eventually completely exclude Lake Trout from the Lake. b. The absence of Largemouth Bass results in a trophic cascade. c. Largemouth Bass have a greater carrying capacity than Lake Trout. d.
