While tracking long-distance swimming salmon, which outcome indicates hypoxic conditions because of environmental change?

A)Increased anaerobic respiration in muscle
B)Reduced function of olfactory receptor
C)Increased swim bladder gas diffusion
D)Decreased efficiency of countercurrent exchange

💡 Explanation

Increased anaerobic respiration leads to fatigue, therefore reducing swimming duration of salmon, because insufficient oxygen reaches the muscles. Anaerobic respiration allows survival in oxygen-poor waters, rather than proper aerobic metabolism needed during long swims to spawning grounds.
