Question

the following graph shows the population sizes of two fish species, the titan triggerfish and a type of wrasse. the two species live in warm tropical waters near coral reefs and have a relationship with one another. population over time suppose a disease that only affects the wrasse began to spread through the area. as a result, the population of wrasse decreases. what is most likely to happen to the population size of the titan triggerfish? a. it will decrease because the species have a predator - prey relationship

Explanation:

If the two fish species have a predator - prey relationship and the prey (wrasse) population decreases due to disease, the predator (titan triggerfish) will have less food available. As a result, its population is likely to decrease.

Answer:

A. It will decrease because the species have a predator - prey relationship
