this is a food web prior to the invasion of Asian carp. create a food chain with it that includes at least 5 species.
answers may vary ex. blue green algae -> calanoids -> yellow perch -> brown trout -> sea lamprey

Which species of fish has become endangered due to competition from Asian carp?
what is Yellow Perch

what plans does Canada have in place to combat the invasion of Asian carp?
Canada believes that prevention is the best method to success so we have acts such as the invasive speceis act which is helping keep Asian carp out of some of the great lakes

missing from this food web is decomposers. give 2 examples of decomposers that would be present in the ecosystem of Asian carp.
bacteria, fungi, sea mold, trumpet snail etc.
500
What abiotic factor is negatively affected by asian Carp and how?
What is Water quality through the disturbing of river bottoms often polluting the water with the toxins in the soil.
500
How did Humans aid the spread Of Asian Carp?
what is using live bait
500
what benefit did Asian carp provide to the farmers who brought them over.
they are filter feeders so they helped keep algae and zoo plankton under control.
500
what would we have to be careful of fabricating a disease to kill of Asian carp?
that it doesn't harm other species/mutate
