Question

question 3 of 10
which of the following ecological problems can bivalve filter feeding
algal blooms and eutrophication
ocean acidification
deforestation
ozone depletion

Explanation:

Bivalve filter - feeders (like clams, oysters) filter large volumes of water, consuming phytoplankton (algae). Algal blooms occur due to excess nutrients (eutrophication), and bivalves can reduce algal populations by filtering them, helping to mitigate eutrophication - related algal blooms. Ocean acidification is about pH change from CO₂, deforestation is land - based tree loss, and ozone depletion involves CFCs; bivalves don't address these. So the correct option is the one about algal blooms and eutrophication.

Answer:

A. Algal blooms and eutrophication
