← Nature & AnimalsWhich navigational pitfall arises when wind distorts scents during salmon migration?
A)Delayed return spawning times
B)Inability to locate natal streams✓
C)Disrupted territorial behavior patterns
D)Increased vulnerability to predators
💡 Explanation
The salmon use olfactory imprinting to trace their specific natal streams, however, wind shifts can mask relevant chemical cues. Because salmon olfactory maps become unreliable, they are prone to disorientation, therefore they're unable to find their way home, rather than experiencing predation issues from odor changes.
