Impact ID | 5834 |
Impact Type | Predation/Herbivory |
Study Type | Experimental |
Study Location | Laboratory |
Impact Description | Juvenile silver carp (Hypophthalmichthys molitrix
) had no innate response to native fish predators, including largemouth bass, smallmouth bass, and longnose gar. This suggests that silver carp might be susceptible to native predators and struggle to persist in areas with diverse predator communities. |
