Consider a trophiccascade with 4 levels: 1) predatory fish that consume planktivorous fish, 2) planktivorous fish that consume zooplankton,3) herbivorous zoplankton that consume phytoplankton, and 4) phytoplankton.
True or False: A reduction in predatory fish will increase the level of phytoplankton.
True
False

- Expat Med @DrExpat_ 4. Respond to this tweet on the right using mathematical evidence from the Lotka-Volterra model of predator-prey interactions.

The increased number of crab and shrimp cause a decline in zooplankton abundance, which subsequently causes an increase in phytoplankton abundance.
