Impact Description | In European mesotrophic lakes, P. lacustris consumed a significant amount of animal prey (primarily zooplankton crustaceans) and were a valuable food item for Eurasian perch (Perca fluviatilis). Thus, P. lacustris’s role as both a competitive consumer (top-down effects) and novel prey (bottom-up effects) may inflict significant impacts on local food webs |
