← Nature & AnimalsWhich outcome primarily occurs when salmon return to natal streams due to disruption of certain neural receptors?
A)Failure to trigger olfactory imprinting effect✓
B)Decreased aerobic respiration effectiveness rates
C)Elevated susceptibility of osmotic imbalances
D)Inability to regulate hydrodynamic undulation
💡 Explanation
Salmon rely on olfactory receptor neurons in their nares to detect unique chemical signatures; anosmia arises because interference disrupts natal stream recognition. Therefore, proper homing fails, rather than altered respiration, osmotic imbalance or undulation which depend on metabolic or fluid dynamics.
