Tiger sharks are common in the waters surrounding Tenare Island. Usually tiger sharks feed on smaller sharks, but sometimes they have attacked tourists swimming and surfing at Tenare's beaches. This has hurt Tenare's tourism industry, which is second only to its fishing industry in annual revenues. In order to help the economy, therefore, the mayor of the island has proposed an ongoing program to kill any tiger sharks within a mile of the beaches.

Which of the following, if true, most strongly calls into question the likelihood that implementation of the mayor's proposal will have the desired consequence?

正确答案: D

The tiger shark eats the small sharks. The small sharks eat fish. Fishermen catch fish to sell.

Kill tiger shark would increase the number of the small shark, which would eat more fish. Fisherman would have fewer fish to sell.
