    Sea Otters Pros And Cons

    Huffington Post’s article authoritatively described the definition of a trophic cascade as an ecological phenomenon triggered by the addition, or removal of top predators and involving reciprocal changes in the relative populations of predator and prey through a food chain, which often results in dramatic changes in ecosystem structure and nutrient cycling (huffingtonpost.com).” For that reason, in today’s society we have witnessed numerous trophic cascades that occur all over the world, specifically sea otters, blue crabs, jaguars, and as we discussed in class wolves that illustrate predators that decimate their prey because of the food chain (quora.com).” First of all, in the example of the sea otters, sea otters eat urchins. Sea urchins are omnivorous animals and therefore eat both plant and animal matter. The sea urchin mainly feeds on algae on the coral and rocks, along with decomposing matter such as dead fish, mussels, sponges, barnacles, and kelp.…

Unfortunately, many Chinook populations have been steadily declining during the last century, primarily due to a variety of human activities. These threats include hydroelectric dams, chemical pollution from planes (Dietrich, et al., 2012), and sound pollution from industry (Halvorsen et al., 2012). North American governments and hatcheries have implemented a variety of intervention measures to help restore this species, but the salmon are still struggling to recover in certain parts of their range. As a result, salmon-dependent marine organisms, especially the endangered Southern…

    For this assignment, I read a scientific journal article about North American river otter (Lontra canadensis) observations around the Bay Area. The questions being investigated were “Are river otters returning to the Bay Area?” and “What factors are affecting the river otter population?” To gather information, the scientists used three methods– they launched a citizen-science investigation called “Otter Spotter”, field investigations, and focal study sites with cameras. As a result of these procedures, there were 646 citizen reports submitted between 2012-2013, and 2,050 videos recorded from the focal study sites.…

    Sea otters are known as one of the largest members of the weasel family, Mustelidae, but are one of the smallest marine mammals. Unlike most marine mammals, who have blubber that serve as a thermal insulator, sea otters have fur. Their fur is one of the densest, softest furs in the animal kingdom--that is also water-resistant. They are omnivores with a diet consisting of crabs, abalone, sea stars, squid, sea urchins, sea worms and around 40 other bottom-dwelling invertebrates. Furthermore, to support their high metabolic rate, sea otters must eat about 25% of their body weight a day.…

    The reading states that the pollution hypothesis seemed the more likely cause for sea otter decline and provides three reasons of support. However, the professor states that predation hypothesis is the most likely cause of the sea otter decline and refutes each of the authors' reasons.

The professor opposes this point by saying that this point is weakened because people could not find dead sea otters on beaches.…
