Using the graph below, what can you infer about the effects of fishing on this particular population of fish in the years 1950 to 2000

answer;

a. sheep consumption efficiency would be reduced.

explanation;

-trophic efficiency is a measure of how much energy occurs at one level divided by the energy at the level immediately below it . trophic efficiency incorporates three types of efficiency:

-the proportion of available energy that is consumed (consumption efficiency).   it is the proportion of the available biomass that is ingested by consumers.

-the proportion of ingested food that is assimilated (assimilation efficiency).

-the proportion of assimilated food that goes into new consumer biomass (production efficiency).

-in this case, the grasshoppers would affect sheep by reducing the proportion of the available biomass that is ingested by the sheep.

hybridization actually occurs frequently in nature. evolution is derived from the process of hybridization that creates things with different traits. this leads to the species changing and evolution occurring. hope this : )
