The reading passage and the lecture are both discussing two opposite explanation of the sea otter’s depletion. The author of the passage believes that the reason for declination is the environmental pollution. The lecturer considers that the statements made in the reading passage aren’t the right explanation. She supposes that the main reason is the attacks of the predators, such as orcas, and she reinforces her opinion by providing several examples.
First of all, in the reading passage, it is denoted that the sea otters are dying because of the industrial chemical pollution. However, the lecturer asserts that no evidence of the dead bodies of the sea otters was found on the Alaskan coast. Consequently, due to that, the fact that sea otters were eaten by orcas and other predators seems more suitable explanation of sea otters’ depletion.
The subsequent lecturer argument is related to the statement made in the passage that other species populations are also decreasing at the same time and in the same place. She disputes this by claiming that decreasing of the sea mammals is caused by human intervenience. Thus, It isn’t the effect of the pollution on the entire ecosystem.
Finally, in the reading passage is identified that difference in the concentrations of pollutants created an uneven pattern of sea otters depletion. However, the lecturer claims that this pattern of declination is more connected with the predator’s distribution that they are more prefer to stay in deep rather than shallow places. Besides, she states that the number of the sea otters depends on the quantity of the orcas in the particular locations.
