final scientific explanation on sea lamprey and trout

The sea lamprey caused a decline in the trout population.  

If you look at structures of a trout, you would see a small fish with not very sharp teeth,  the structure of the mouth is to get food near the surface of the water and would be considered as prey. If you look at the structures of sea lamprey, you will see a big snake-like fish with a big mouth, sharp teeth, the structure of its mouth is for sucking the blood out of a fish and is considered as a predator. This is important because their prey is the trout. The fisherman has also been complaining about very little trout population in the great lakes. Plus, even if they did find one, it would be dead with deep scratches on its body and a huge hole going through the trout.

 

The reason why the sea lamprey is declining the trout population is that when the sea lamprey came to lake Michigan in 1938, they seem to have overpopulated the trout because the sea lamprey is an invasive species. According to reading 5.2, Fisherman also thinks that the trout moved to colder deeper water due to the overpopulation. Also, the reason why the sea lamprey caused a decline in the trout population is that according to a video our teacher showed us, the food web can get uneven when new organisms enter the ecosystem. Lake trout is one of the most common thing eaten in the Great Lakes. When the sea lamprey invaded, they became top of the food web because they were killing everything.   

 

Finally, another reason why the sea lamprey caused a decline in the trout population is that a female sea lamprey lays about 60,000 eggs to 100,000 eggs. Compared to a female trout, they lay about 500 eggs to 800 eggs that mean the sea lamprey are overpopulating the trout. This indicates that the sea lamprey is declining the trout population.

eat  and I can’t put in the Hebrew
