| Impact Description | Common carp (Cyprinus carpio) have been shown to alter bottom-up and top-down processes within freshwater ecosystems. Bottom-up processes are impacted by the alteration of nutrient flows and resuspension of turbidity and top-down are impacted by predation of zooplankton and benthic invertebrates. Common carp can also decrease foraging efficiency of native species by impairing water quality. |
