Juvenile Red Snapper are often found around natural or artificial reefs. If overfishing occurs in these areas, what would you predict will happen to the red snapper population?

A.) The Red Snapper population will be affected greatly as juveniles will not reach adulthood to spawn.

B.) The Red Snapper population will be affected marginally because this will only affect the juveniles.

C.) The Red Snapper populations will benefit because the adults will have less competition from juveniles.

D.) The Red Snapper populations will be unaffected unless they are specifically targeted by fishing.
