Which 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.
