Toothpick fish

The first through the third generation, there were very few fatalities. After the factory waste diaster, there was a great decrease in fish. All of the green fish were eaten because the camoflauge was destroyed. This was the major cause of the population drop.

The experiment "toothpick fish" was a great experiment that showed how adaptation can either save or kill off a certain type of species. The chemical waste dump that killed all of the algae had a huge impact on the population of green fish. The number of green fish dropped dramatically. This was from the reduction of algae, which was a camoflauge for the green fish. This made all of the green fish be spotted and then eaten by predators. The yellow fish were already gone, but their genes were still recessive in the others. The remaining red and blue fish were able to survive and reproduce.
