Which outcome occurs when whale baleen plates degrade?

💡 Explanation

A whale's foraging depends on filtering krill through baleen plates; degradation causes decreased foraging through mechanical failure of filter feeding rather than affecting vocalization, because filtering relies directly on physical structure, therefore declining efficiency, rather than alternatives.
