TPO 10 -1
Although the author supports three main hypotheses for the fact whether predation theory or pollution theory caused population inclination of sea otter in western coast of North America from California to Alaska, the professor finds it completely dubious and brings up some counter reasons to refute them all.
Considering the first point, reading material holds the view that the pollution caused the population decrease due to the existence of several source of pollution along the coastal region including oil rigs and several chemical industries. However, the lecturer finds it unconvincing and insists that predation theory is convincing since no dead whales or otters have been seen on coastal region recently so they must have been eaten by predators.
Furthermore, the author contends that environmental pollution causes all ecosystem to be damaged even a large predator such as orcas. In contrast, the professor asserts that declining otter population is the result of human hunting and it is nothing to do with pollution. Predators such as whales have to change their diets to survive. If otters be hunted by human, the whales have to eat smaller preys.
Eventually, reading passage claims that uneven pattern of otter declination is the result of pollution theory. On the other hand, the speaker believes that predator such as orcas have to hunt in accessible area. They cannot eat preys neither the shallow region nor rocky area. That is why there is an uneven pattern of population in sea ecosystem.
Consequently, this is how the professor casts doubt on the points discussed in the reading.
