Which outcome occurs to prey species when predators employ counterillumination camouflage?

💡 Explanation

When predators use counterillumination camouflage, light emission disrupts silhouettes, which depends primarily on reduced visual detection; therefore, encounters are less frequent because visually oriented predators fail to distinguish prey outlines, rather than alternative nutrient or muscular effects.
