The table shows the habitat and foraging habits of two fish species in a marine ecosystem. Fish Species Data Species Habitat Foraging Habit A Up to 1,000 meters Large herbivorous fish B Deeper than 1,000 meters Shrimps A non-native species that is found at depths of up to 1,000 meters and feeds on small fish was introduced in the ecosystem. What would be the likely impact? Species A’s population will decrease due to limited space in the ecosystem Species B’s population will decrease due to limited space in the ecosystem Population of species A will decrease due to limited prey in the ecosystem Population of species B will decrease due to limited prey in the ecosystem

Respuesta :

I believe the answer is: "Population of species A will decrease due to limited prey in the ecosystem"

Answer:

Population of species B will decrease due to limited prey in the ecosystem

Explanation:

Shrimps feed on small organisms that move slowly, like curstaceus, finsish, molluscs and ophiurods, so the new non native organisms that is being introduced into the ecosystem will hunt and feed on the same prey as the shrimps which wil cause for the population of shrimps to decay since there is limited prey in the ecosystem.
