A biology student knows that a particular species of freshwater fish can be found in clear water as well as murky water. However, in
clear water the fish tend to be smaller than the murky water cousins. The student believes that in murky water the fish are better
camouflaged and survive predation longer allowing them to grow to a larger size.
In the above scenario what is the observation?
Select one:
a. Fish living in murky water grow larger than clear water fish.
b. The student needs to capture some fish to make some proper observations.
c. Predation of the fish is dependent on the size of the fish.
d. Murky water is a better camouflage for the fish from predation compared to clear water.
Refer to the scientific method readings in Campbell et al
