A mangrove community has the following food chain:
Green algae - fish — mangrove tree crab - mangrove water snake-
American crocodile
Which population would be most likely to decrease if the mangrove water
snake population in this community increased in size?
O
A. Fish

Respuesta :

American crocodile population will decrease.

Explanation:

In the food chain mangrove water snake is being consumed by American crocodile. The increase in the size of mangrove water snake would make it difficult for American crocodile to attack its prey.

The large size of the tertiary consumer would compete with the quaternary consumer in the food chain.

The quaternary consumer will find difficulty in having food and ultimately die thus decreasing the number of American crocodiles.
