← Nature & AnimalsWhich limiting consequence occurs when lanternfish density exceeds sustainable levels?
A)Inefficient bioluminescence signal propagation✓
B)Increased metabolic CO2 conversion needs
C)Reduced olfactory prey detection range
D)Enhanced individual predator evasion ability
💡 Explanation
Bioluminescence in lanternfish relies on quorum sensing mechanism; a high fish density leads to light signal interference because signals overlap, leading to decreased mate attraction/food finding, rather than improved individual evasion.
