How is trout survival related to the color of trout and the environmental condition of the stream?

 Reference: An investigation was carried out over a five-year period to measure the effect of color on the survival of trout in a stream. The stream contained many brightly colored stones and food was plentiful. At the start of the investigation (year 0), 100 bright-colored trout and 100 drab-colored trout were placed into a section of the stream that had been blocked with netting. Investigators monitored the trout populations for five years and recorded the water condition each time a count was done. The data collected are shown in the table below.

Allow 1 credit. Acceptable responses include, but are not limited to: Drab-colored trout survive better in cloudy water because they blend in with water. Brightly colored trout survive better in clear water because they blend in with the brightly colored stones.
