Marine biologists want to see if talapia breed more offspring in colder water or warmer water. This option would be the best method of data collection because...
1.) Observe them in their natural habit
2.) Observe the cooler water section in their natural habitat and the warmer water in a lab.
3.) Collect and observe all of the talapia in a lab
4.) Observe all talapia in the ocean.
