The crabs that live in the aquatic biome pictured depend on living in shallow water with a temperature no greater than 60 degrees F. If climate change causes an increase of that water's temperature to 62 degrees F, what will likely happen to the dolphins in that biome, and why?

Answer :

Answer:

The dolphin population may diminish a little.

Explanation:

Crabs are one of the many things dolphins eat, and, as the prompt suggests, they cannot live in temperatures greater than 60 degrees F. If climate change makes the temperature 62 degrees F, the crab population will all die. However, note that dolphins do not only eat crabs, as they have other food sources. However, crabs are a major population, so we can see a disruption in the food web, with there being fewer dolphins than usual.
