7. Among a migrating species of fish, one individual migrates further than any other in its population. As a result, the fish develops stronger swimming muscles than any other individual in its population, allowing it to catch more prey. Having additional food also allows the fish to lay more eggs. Will the fish's offspring be favored by natural selection? Why or why not?
