4551 Paramysis (Serrapalpisis) lacustris Predation/Herbivory Observational Field 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 Europe 36510
6970 Paramysis (Serrapalpisis) lacustris Predation/Herbivory Anecdotal N/A Paramysis lacustris is expected to cause a zooplankton reduction in areas it invades. 13077
6971 Paramysis (Serrapalpisis) lacustris Predation/Herbivory Anecdotal N/A Paramysis lacustris is expected to cause a zooplankton reduction in areas it invades, leading to spiraling negative effects on planktivorus fish and higher trophic levels. 13077
6976 Paramysis (Serrapalpisis) lacustris Predation/Herbivory Anecdotal N/A Prior to its introduction into the Curonian lagoon, studies showed that Paramysis lacustris exhibited preferential feeding on detritus and phytoplankton; its establishment was expected to improve the efficiency of detritus and primary production utilization in the autotrophic waters of the lagoon. 36514
6977 Paramysis (Serrapalpisis) lacustris Predation/Herbivory Observational Field Gut samples later taken from introduced Paramysis lacustris revealed a significant proportion of planktonic crustaceans, suggesting active feeding on mesoplankton as opposed to on detritus and phytoplankton. Curonian Lagoon, Baltic Sea 36506
