Which consequence occurs when copepods reduce swimming speed during predator pursuit?

💡 Explanation

Reduced swimming facilitates 'motion camouflage,' because predators have decreased detection probability. Therefore, the copepod reduces detection, rather than increasing energy because predators have a harder time tracking the motion, and cannot effectively pursue them.
