You recently examined the differences in population growth between several aquatic species. You tested a fish that reproduces once per year, an aquatic beetle that reproduces twice per year, and a species of zooplankton that reproduces approximately every 10 days. You place 50 individuals of each species alone in separate large outdoor tanks that hold thousands of gallons of water. Every year for 4 years, you determine the population size of each species and you record the following data: Population size (individuals) Tank Year 1 Year 2 Year 3 Year 4 1 50 473 175 723 2 3 50 95 73 121 50 55 48 53 When you are interpreting your results, you realize that you forgot which species you put in which tank.

Question
You recently examined the differences in population growth between several
aquatic species. You tested a fish that reproduces once per year, an aquatic
beetle that reproduces twice per year, and a species of zooplankton that
reproduces approximately every 10 days. You place 50 individuals of each
species alone in separate large outdoor tanks that hold thousands of gallons of
water. Every year for 4 years, you determine the population size of each
species and you record the following data:
Population size (individuals)

When you are interpreting your results, you realize that you forgot which
species you put in which tank. Which answer most likely correctly matches the
tank with the species that was in that tank during your experiment based on
the population fluctuations?
