Scientists and policy makers often have to work together to set catch limits on fisheries. Imagine
that a policy maker proposes to allow the fishing of
a certain species to go on at current rates
because, she says, “Fishing at current rates will
not impact the ecosystem. We are removing fish
at a rate lower than the birth rate of their
population." Is this claim valid? What indicators
would you look at to support or disprove this
claim? Explain your reasoning.

Which experiment would most likely contain experimental bias

On a recent expedition to a remote region of northern canada, scientists uncovered skeletal remains from about 100,000 years ago. surprisingly, all the skeletal remains, which included many species from differing biological families and spanned about two thousand years, showed evidence of experiencing temperatures in excess of 1000 degrees fahrenheit (or 538 degrees celsius). which of the following, if true, best explains the apparent paradox between the cold environment and the evidence of the bones experiencing hot temperatures? (a) chemical changes that naturally occur during the process of decay in only one north canadian species produce the same evidence of the species' skeletons being exposed to hot temperatures as the expedition scientists found. (b) a little over 103,000 years ago, a large fire is known to have occurred in northern canada. (c) strong evidence exists that as early as 70,000 years ago, homo sapiens around the world relied heavily on fire to cook animals. (d) in the same expedition and in roughly the same layer of excavation, scientists found rudimentary wood cutting and hunting tools used by early humans.
