Reference excerpt

Listed below are some of the popular fishes that may be found in the coastal waters of Mauritius. Local names are shown in italics. The colours of the fish have been described as observed under normal daylight and might not always match those on some photos that have been taken under water.

Squid, octopus, shrimp, and sea-snail flesh are good baits for Carnivorous, Benthivorous, or piscivorous fish. (Small fish, however, should be released!)

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to List of marine fishes of Mauritius before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question
