Suppose that decades of overfishing in the Atlantic Ocean have led to a large decrease in the Atlantic cod population. As a result, there has been a steady decrease in the number of other predator species in the ecosystem. All of the populations in this marine ecosystem are now in danger of decline because of this imbalance.

Which of the following solutions would best help preserve the biodiversity of this ecosystem?
A.
introducing non-native fish species that can repopulate the ecosystem if the native populations continue to decline
B.
only allowing commercial fishing companies to fish for predator fish in this ecosystem for the next several decades
C.
implementing and enforcing laws that limit the number of fish that can be caught annually in this ecosystem
D.
only allowing commercial fishing companies to fish during the species' spawning season when the fish are laying their eggs
