sea otter declining population
The reading and the lecture are both about the declining of the sea otter population. Whereas the author of the reading states that this decrease caused by the pollution, the lecturer suggest that the predator plays an important role in this decrease. The lecturer casts doubt on the main points made in the reading by providing three reasons.
First of all, according to the reading, sea otter died because of the pollution in the alaskan area. However the lecturer disputes this point. She says that predator is the reason behinde that. Furthermore, she mentions that if the pollution was the reason why we can not see any dead sea otter in the coast which support the lecturer argumnet.
Secondly, the reading states that sea mammals also declined in the area which mean they both face the same problem. Nevertheless, the lecturer refutes this argument. She argues that the predators were eating sea otter and other sea mammels. In addition, she points out that when people hunts the whales leave no other chioce for orca except changing their diet and eat sea mammals and sea otter.
Finally, the reading claims that there were uneven pattern of otter decrease in poplation which indicate that the reason is pollution. On the other hand, the lecturer belive that this reason does not explain the uneven pattern. She thinks that orcas are bigger than otters so there is some places orca can not go to. She feels that we can see the declining population near the coast which is alot of space to move unlike other places were otter have not decrease in population.
