Question

A ) Da ray population increased

B ) Da clam population increased

C ) Da scallop population increased

D ) Da oyster population increased

Answer 1

A) Da ray population increased.

When the population of great white sharks decreases, one of the effects can be an increase in the population of their prey, such as rays. This is part of a broader ecological phenomenon known as a trophic cascade, where the decline of a top predator can lead to increases in the populations of their prey species, which in turn can affect the populations of other organisms in the ecosystem.
