Which navigational outcome occurs when a salmon loses its sense of smel1?

A)Impaired natal stream recognition abilities
B)Disrupted celestial compass orientation accuracy
C)Decreased magnetic field detection threshold
D)Increased susceptibility viral olfactory infection

💡 Explanation

Loss of smell impacts natal stream recognition because juvenile salmon imprint on the unique olfactory profiles of their stream. Therefore they struggle to return, rather than celestial or magnetic orientation, because these systems support a coarse estimation.
