Cabomba caroliniana

Predation/Herbivory
|
Anecdotal
|
N/A
|
Monospecific stands of Cabomba caroliniana can alter predator-prey relationships among native fish. The dense mats of Cabomba caroliniana cause large piscivorous fish to spend more time foraging which reduces their growth rates. Cabomba caroliniana beds are believed to decrease fish abundance compared to native vegetation.

Predation/Herbivory
|
Anecdotal
|
N/A
|
Dense stands of Cabomba caroliniana (Carolina fanwort) disrupt fish habitat and replace native food sources, which can alter predator/prey relationships among fish populations.
