Shrimp fishing off the coast to Georgia was closed in 2001 due to a drastic reduction in the shrimp population. Captain Forsyth, a local shrimper, suspects that increased salinity has killed the shrimp larvae. Three years of drought and greatly reduced freshwater flow from underground aquifiers resulted in increased salinity in the coastal estuaries. These habitats between open ocean and fresh water are the “nurseries” for many marine animals.
Design an experiment to determine the range the range of salt concentration that can be tolerated by shrimp larvae.
