How does the law of tolerance affect where populations of organisms live?
Organisms are not affected by the law of tolerance.
Organisms tolerate the water conditions but cannot tolerate other abiotic factors.
Organisms only live where they can tolerate the conditions.
Organisms live where they can tolerate the other organisms.

Range of Tolerance
Data Analysis
One of the responsibilities of an aquatic biologist is to make sure that the abiotic factors stay
wiumh the acceptable ranges for the optimal help for the Species within the local ecosystem.
Bcologists, including aquatic biologists, use the range of tolerance to monitor the number of
different populations residing in the area.
m order to do so they use statistical models. Create a graph displaying on the x-axis the ranges of
abiotic conditions such as temperature to study the population of rainbow trout in the area ( use
the launch model as an example), Label each interval with temperature range and condition.
What Causing Stress in Rainbow Trout Population
The optimal range is the amount of an abiotic factor that produces the highest possible
population. For water temperature, this would be about 6-10°C. Label this area on the
graph.
