sea otters
Both the reading and the lecture discuss the reason why sea otter population has significantly decreased recently. The reading states that environmental pollution is the most probable reason for this phenomenon, while the lecturer casts doubts on the claims made in the reading and posits that predation is the cause of decline in sea otters population.
First, the reading notes that according to the water sample test and the fact that sea otter habitat is near to pollution sources like oil rigs, chemical pollution has caused sea otters death. The lecturer refutes this argument by saying that no dead sea otter body has been found on the shore, so pollution theory cannot be justified. On the contrary, failing to discover any dead body, strengthens the predator theory as ocras can eat the whole bodies of sea otters.
Secondly, the reading asserts that population of other small sea mammals such as seals is declining too, which indicates that pollution is the reason for the recent happenings. On the other hand, the lecturer mentions that the ocras, which are large predatory whales, had to change their usual diet from whales to smaller see mammals due to lack of whales in the area. This has led to decline in the population of sea mammals species.
Last but not least, the reading mentions uneven pattern of sea otters decline as another explanation for pollution hypothesis. In contrast, the lecturer postulates that since shallow and rocky areas are not easily accessible to ocras, the sea otters population decrease in those places is not significant.
