Possibly, but if trapping was stopped, there would be an over population of otters, which would result in massive outbreaks of diseases, loss of habitat, loss of many other plants and organisms that otters feed on. Also, otters aren't very friendly animals, so an overpopulation would result in more contact with humans, which wouldn't be a good thing. Trapping and hunting are nessecery for all species, but it needs to be done in moderation.

What disadvantages do otters have if all the reeds were removed from riverbanks?

If all the reeds were removed from riverbanks, otters would face several disadvantages. Reeds provide crucial habitat for otters, offering protection from predators and a place to rest. Without reeds, otters would be more exposed and vulnerable to threats. Additionally, reeds are important for stabilizing riverbanks and maintaining water quality, so their removal could have broader ecological impacts on the otters' environment.
