Refer to Table 2 in the article.  The data here indicate that there was a steep population decline in mollusc density from 1982 to 2021.  Do these data indicate that the decline will continue into the future?   Yes; the ocean temperatures are warming globally, and the data show this decline in abundance will continue.   No; if the abundance of molluscs fluctuates over time, then the decline might appear only because of the particular time points sampled.   No; the locations of the mollusc populations represented in this table are too geographically close together to separate out the data.   Yes; the decline is very steep, and there is little likelihood that the mollusc abundance will recover.   article reference:   Responses of intertidal invertebrates to rising sea surface temperatures in the southeastern Indian Ocean by: Fred E.
