Which limit constrained Byzantine silk production during initial smuggling from China?

💡 Explanation

Silkworm survival constrained Byzantine silk production due to temperature shock; larvae died en route causing large initial losses because Temperature-dependent development affects larvae viability. Therefore, cold temperature kills many smuggled worms rather than lower smuggling numbers being limiting.
