A lake has a baseline population of small fish that has been stable. A new invasive plant spreads along the shoreline, creating more hiding places for young fish. Over the next month, a survey finds that more young fish are surviving to be seen in shallow water. Which prediction about the small fish population is supported by the evidence and the change in resources/conditions (before vs. after the plant spread)? Population changes can be predicted from evidence, but predictions are not certainties.
