A population of trout in a lake has significantly declined over the past year. The main source of food for the fish are insects. Due to poor climate conditions, there are significantly fewer insects, meaning not enough food to sustain the population of trout in the lake. Trout is a food supply for larger fish in the lake and without enough trout, other fish are negatively impacted in the lake.
What is the limiting factor?
A. Temperature because of poor climate conditions
B. Diseases kill the insect population
C. The trout are not mating quickly
D. The insects are experiencing a food shortage
A. Temperature because of poor climate conditions
