Limitation Analysis in Fish Behavior Study

Easy Research Summaries Experimental Design

A study was conducted to analyze the impact of various water temperatures on fish behavior. Researchers placed three separate aquariums in a controlled environment, each set to different water temperatures: 18°C, 22°C, and 26°C. They observed the fish's swimming patterns and feeding frequency over a two-week period. The data collected from each aquarium was carefully recorded.

Which of the following describes a potential limitation of this experimental design?

The researchers only used one type of fish in the experiment.

The temperature range used might not be relevant to the fish's natural habitat.

The duration of the experiment was too long to measure immediate behavioral changes.

The aquariums were not placed in a room with controlled lighting.
