- The figure above shows main abiotic and biotic factors influencing the physiology and behavior of fish larvae in estuaries. The more important the factors are for the larvae, the thicker the lines. Suppose changes from question 1 take place. Draw a new figure and redefine the thickness of the lines and new factor interactions. This is from question 1 : A proposal is made to deepen the entrance and main channel of an estuary. What do you suppose will happen to the salt marshes that surround the channel? What do you predict will happen to the productivity of the estuary? Deeper channels would probably change the mixing of the fresh and saltwater and lead to increased salinity and changes in the salt wedges in the channel. This would probably negatively impact the plants on the edges of the channel, as they would have to deal with higher salt levels than they are adapted to. The strain that would be put on the plants (like cordgrasses) in the marshes, would most likely lead to a…arrow_forwardWhat important parameter do you measure to evaluate if a river water is "biologically dead"?arrow_forwardWill a fish replaced from a freshwater source to an aquarium with sea water be able to survive?Give reasons,arrow_forward
