The eggs and larvae of marine animals tend to require water with more dissolved oxygen in it than the adults do. If water flows
from a freshwater source into a salt water bay, what effect would this have on the population of marine animals?
O The freshwater would decrease the populations of marine animals because it would deplete the salt water of
oxygen.
O The freshwater would decrease the populations of marine animals by decreasing both salinity and oxygen levels.
O The freshwater would increase the populations, thereby decreasing the levels of oxygen and marine animals.
O The freshwater would increase the populations of marine animals because it holds more oxygen than the salt water.
