Question

based on the data in this graph, one likely conclusion that can be made is that over approximately ten years more predators moved into the lake ecosystem once the opossum shrimp were added the introduction of the opossum shrimp into the lake ecosystem disrupted the food webs that were present the lake ecosystem stabilized after the introduction of the new species competition between organisms was reduced as more producers were introduced into the lake source: biology, 9th ed. sylvia mader, mcgraw - hill, boston, 2007, p.929

Explanation:

The graph shows the impact of introducing opossum shrimp on a lake ecosystem. After introduction, the number of bald - eagles and opossum shrimp changed over time. The likely conclusion is that the introduction of opossum shrimp disrupted the food web initially, but over about ten years, the lake ecosystem stabilized as more producers were introduced which reduced competition between organisms.

Answer:

The lake ecosystem stabilized after the introduction of the new species as more producers were introduced into the lake.
