| Impact Description | White perch is known to hybridize with native white bass, in western Lake Erie and in Ohio and Michigan waters. Because these hybrids are capable of backcrossing with the parental species, and possibly producing F2 hybrids by crossing amongst themselves, they dilute the gene pool of each parent species. |
