Herring, a type of fish that is an important winter food source for sea lions, congregate in Prince William Sound, Alaska. What would MOST LIKELY result from an increased emigration rate of herring in this region? A. the extinction of the herring B. the speciation of the herring C. a decrease in the sea lion population D. an increase in the sea lion immigration
The answer would be (C). If more herring emigrate (leave) from the region, then there will be less herring for the sea lions to use as a food source. This could lead to a decrease in the sea lion population.
