| Impact Description | The accumulation of Limnoperna fortunei shells and enrichment of the habitat through their pseudofeces and biodeposits favors an increase in the abundance of macroinvertebrates from the Chironomidae family. The enrichment also alters benthic fauna abundance and can cause a biological imbalance in the environment. |
