Which consequence results when an olfactory map lacks sufficient pheromone markers during salmon migration?

💡 Explanation

Reduced pheromone markers disrupt the salmon's olfactory imprinting, meaning the chemoreception process fails to guide them accurately to natal spawning grounds. Therefore, spawning site fidelity declines, because the fish cannot find their home stream accurately, rather than experiencing other physiological stresses.
