Which outcome impairs tuna migration when thermal stratification occurs?

A)Reduced tissue oxygen delivery
B)Increased buoyancy control costs
C)Decreased sensory input accuracy
D)Enhanced predator detection efficiency

💡 Explanation

Inefficient oxygen extraction reduces migration capacity. The tuna's *countercurrent exchange* in gills becomes less effective due to decreased oxygen gradients; consequently, less oxygen is absorbed because the cooler water limits oxygen transfer, therefore reducing aerobic capacity rather than buoyancy, sensory input, or predator detection.
