The reason the number of zooplankton in the Hudson River increased was because of D. the decline in the number of large zebra mussels

Large Zebra Mussels:

  • Feed on zooplankton
  • Were decreasing in the Hudson River
  • Were dying at a faster rate and at a younger age

Because the large zebra mussels - zooplankton eaters - were dying out, the zooplankton were able to make a comeback and increase their populations.
